Make a wish. Then, tell why you made it.

Do not wish for one of the following.
1. I wish for all the money in the world.
2. I wish for eternal life.

These choices are obvious, and kind of boring.

That would of been my first choice as well Corwin, I remember watching an Xfiles episode where Agent Mulder wished the same. However the genie decided just to make the rest of the world populace disappear and leave him on his own.

I would ask for more wishes just in case the wish giver tried to manipulate the words of the first wish and I'm just greedy.

Why not just wish all my wishes could come true? It's what the leading character in the book Gummi-Tarzan (Rubber-Tarzan) does when a witch offers to fulfill one of his wishes.

I think the only way to do that would be to eliminate free will and human instinct creating a world of mindless and miserable human slaves. But maybe I’m just a cynic. *g*

It would be really hard to do, but I say forget the wish. No wish could make the world happy, and the moment someone else changes the nature of your life, then it is no longer your life anymore.
*Or maybe I’m just full of crap and trying to be philosophical at six in the morning.*

Well, I would go for the eternal life thing...

I'd wish to be impervious to all forms of harm. Then I'd spend all my time exploring dangerous places, rescuing people, and my existence might make people think twice about stepping out of lines... there's nothing like the threat of something you cannot kill or destroy coming to get you to force contemplation.

A selfish wish but I'd use it to help others as a side effect. Sounds about right for a wish made by a human being.

I would most likely wish for something that helped mankind, made the world a better place, etc. in some way or another. But I'd be sorely tempted to wish for prehensile feet!

Two potential wishes on my part. One, to have complete and absolute control over my aging process. Two, to have a complete understanding of the universe (i.e. what it is, how it works, laws of physics, etc).

yes, just ask for another 1000 wishes, and then you can do things for the world.
