I'd rather have 6 arms. Perhaps if I had superior interllect, I could generically engineer myself some!

first you'd have to work on spelling genetically right. :lol:

No. I meant it would be so difficult, I would be an old man when I finally did.

haha or as a result of your prolonged innovation, by the time you finally reached creation we would all conventionally have had 6 arms through constructive artificial evolution thanks to my super genius, thus establishing the notion a generic concept.

Cool. Just think what we could all do with six arms each!

(And no Evil Arms like Doctor Octopus!)

Really to be serious, if you have the brainpower, you should be able to achieve most of the other items on the list - especially job and money.

but intelligence and motivation are two totally seperate commodities.

with my extraordinary unparalleled einsteinien intellect and expert knowledge of quantum physics, i'd construct a superpowered time displacement vessel out of an old stainless steel dmc model prototype able to reach light speeds that could transcend the three dimensional fabrics of the space time continuum, equiped with a dash mounted flux capacitor to employ the hierarchical structure of the cosmos as my stopwatch, and travel back to 1982 to scoop phoebe cates.


Phoebe Cates, MEOW!!! How I miss the 80's...

give me the breathtaking beauty... it's been proven that attractive people get better jobs and relationships, so answer D will eventually lead to A and B.. and C.... who needs that anyway, geez :roll: :)

Don't mean to be a fussy pot, Loomis, but I think it would be a good idea to edit that a bit to say that some Christians are thick and ordinary...

...like George W Bush. The W stands for Walker, although I think the "l" should be replaced by another letter :lol:

I'm a B, no matter how much I think I want $, power, or intelligence, I know I'm a homebody at heart

This thread is pretty funny, and I don't think that was Lady's original intention. Is it safe to say Loomis is a non-conformist? :wink:

I don't think any of those choices really suit me well.
A - Too materialistic and worldly for my outlook on life
B - I'm not really a people person, and though I do want a family, I don't need them to be perfect. They should be eccentric and poorly-adjusted just like me.
C - My current level of intelligence is fine with me (not on a Shakespearian or Einsteinian level, however). There are some things you don't want answers to. I think it would be depressing to have ultimate knowledge.
D - I'm also fine with my looks and charisma.

So, in conclusion, I would just like to live a stress-free, content life. Specifically, to be able to pursue my artistic goals and be around people I love.

Hmm. . . now I know what would make a great option (E): Satisfaction and Contentment

I've said far worse about Christians on this site, so I'm not backing down now, Fussy Pot :D

I don't have a problem with your non-pc comment, but being Christian myself, I think it's funny that we can all be lumped together as thick and ordinary, yet still be strongly divided in what we believe. :lol:

And that is my basic problem with Christianity. There isn't one Christianity - there are several.

None of you can agree on the "correct way to worship" and all of you believe that you way is the one and only correct way (see a long running argument in the 'Do You Read the Bible' thread).

Well? :twisted:

Assume that you can go through this life time with only one of the above (realizing that most people never achieve any of the above). Basically ask yourself which has the biggest priority for you.

I already have C and D. Working on A. and B i really dont want. my biggest priority is buying every bloody DVD released! that's my purpose in life! :lol:
