A genie in a lamp asks you these 8 choices.
Notes:
Choice # 1: You will stop aging in your current status. And will be immune to any form of death. You will not feel any physical pain either.
Choice # 2: This means everything, you will be explained to your desire anything you wish to know.
Choice # 3: True happiness only applies to real life only, no infinate money or immortality.
Choice # 4: All in cash.
Choice # 5: This is a one time use only. Once you choose you can never go back to your own time. You will get a brief description on the destination you might go to.
Choice #6: This is a one time deal only. You will become that actual person if you choose a already existing person. You will be in his or her body for the rest of your life.
Choice # 7: ok I'm changing the details of Choice # 7: Make the imagined real.
Choice # 7: You will be given one chance to altar reality. To play "creator". Applys only to planet Earth. You have the ability to make a different living enviroment into anything you wish. But you can not remove the living human population. You may not give yourself any power that you may already have. And you can not change the human population in anyway (stuff like making that hot girl fall in love with you or making everyone bow down before you). You also can not add more humans (fictional or non-fiction), but you may add anything else like stuff from movies, video games, books.
Choice #8: Choosing nothing means you decide not to choose any of the choices.

I thought about making the imagined real, but if everyone had it, then it wouldn't be special. I would go with altering my apperence, but not to look like anyone.

You also know it would be hell. Just imagine what people would do...
Average Person: I want 10,000 Stormtroopers and 500 Hot Girls.
Crazy Person: uhhhh I want 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 Chainsaws raining unto the Earth hmmmm 40 times a day... No MAKE THAT INFINATELY TIMES A DAY.

I don't even know why I put that choice.... doesn't seem right. But I guess I could restrict it in my notes.. but I'm too lazy right now.

It's tough between knowing everything and living forever. Living for every would be cool because I want to see how the terraforming of Mars works out. But everyone around you would die. Knowing everything would be my choice.

10,000 stormtroopers? I'd rather have 5 billion jedi spartans (Ya that's right, jedi who have been made into spartans, force using super soldiers!) and virtual reality games for me to use.

I would hate to live forever. This world will get boring even as early as 70 yrs of age.

Why would you want to live forever? If you know everything then you know how to make yourself live forever. You would also know how to change your looks. You'd also know how to make anything real. Get what I'm saying? You basically get all the options with knowing everything.

The problem with knowing everything is that there is nothing left to learn which would make things very boring whereas if you live forever you can continue learning and finding out new things for all eternity. Also who says you would have to stay on earth, i would love to be able to travel through the universe and discover what's out there. Sure it would be hard to see everyone you care about die but maybe you could gain the nowledge to enable them to live much longer as well.

The United States of America-- STILL more rights than North Korea!
--New official U.S. motto.

Cronin's Law----The New Flood Drinking Game

Being immune to death would suck... you would live, all your family member and people you care about would die, you would see society go down the crapper, you would see the fall of the united states and the rise of the next superpower and the fall of that to see yet another rise. You would witness the death of human society that would inevitably come with the death of the sun, and would be left alone to wander the darkness under the stars. And when they die and the universe spirals towards heat death, you would still remain, cold and alone.
Sorry, I think I'll pass.

If you could live forever and are imunne to everthing etc, then you could gain the knowledge you need to go about creating a peaceful, united society on earth. Honestly if you had that sort of power there is no way you would stand by and whatch everything go to hell, you would do everthing you can to stop that.

What sort of power? To live forever? You couldn't do anything. Infinite life does not mean infinite wisdom. Even if you were immortal you would remain irrevocably human, with all the flaws inherent in humanity. It would suck. Downright suck. What do you do after the universe dies? You are alone for eternity. Have fun being immortal!

ok I'm changing the details of Choice # 7: Make the imagined real.
Choice # 7: You will be given one chance to altar reality. To play "creator". Applys only to planet Earth. You have the ability to make a different living enviroment into anything you wish. But you can remove the living human population. You may not give yourself any power that you may already have. And you can not change the human population in anyway (stuff like making that hot girl fall in love with you or making everyone bow down before you). You also can not add more humans (fictional or non-fiction), but you may add anything else like stuff from movies, video games, books.
