Granted, now you hear inane babbling all the time.

I wish to be more productive.

[OT]Animal communications are probably more rational than most human communications.[/OT]

EDIT: Granted. You now produce vast quantities of inane babbling.

I wish Gigabyte would get around to shipping my repaired (for several days!) GPU back to me.

Wish granted, they rushed so much that you got in the next 2 days, only to find out it had been broken by the rush...

I wish I could overclock infinitely without any bad consequences.

Granted. But with no particular risks involved it gets boring really quickly.

I wish I had a wind and solar farm that would cause the electric company to pay me while I blow Nucleon out of the GIMPS competition.

The bank comes in and repossesses the lot.

I wish that I would actually get the raise that I was promised, with no take-backs for the coming years.

Wish granted, but you found out that you had a few bills/debts that you hadn't paid that had been forgotten somehow... and when you leave them...

I wish I had another GPU...

Wish granted. [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gosudarstvennoye_Politicheskoye_Upravlenie"]GPU[/URL] takes you in for an extended interrogation. After it is over, you have confessed to being both North Korean and Ukrainian spy and get three life terms in Chelyabinsk prison. Parole? What parole?

I wish that I remembered nothing ...and I was rich and famous, someone important, an actor maybe?

Wish granted. Then you woke up.

I wish for another good, not old, [B]G[/B]raphic [B]P[/B]rocessing [B]U[/B]nit.

Wish granted. You receive a good (bug-free), not old (recently written), unit of software which takes any graphic such as a histogram or pie chart and interprets the pictorial information, giving as output the raw data which was depicted.

I wish for an as yet undiscovered effect, peculiar to our planet, whereby carbon dioxide and methane are removed from the atmosphere before they reach dangerous levels.

"Woosh" granted: A Cosmic Vacuum Cleaner comes along and sucks up all of Earth's atmosphere. leaving all of us to suffocate. A group organizes to sue because the C.V.C. is not peculiar to our planet, but litigants expire before the case comes to trial.

I wish for an adequate shield against the possibility of that's happening.
