[QUOTE=c10ck3r;318793]Wish granted. Unfortunately, you had to sell your house to purchase it, and the navigation system used Apple Maps. The resulting chaos leads to you driving it through the local pub, where a spark ignites all the spirits, torching your car and yourself, leaving you with paper thin skin and no money to afford food, much less healthcare.

I wish I owned a nuclear reactor.[/QUOTE]

Wish granted, it overheats, explodes, and slowly over the years kills you.

I wish I had a better case for this computer.

Wish granted. The case is so good that it's the first thing noticed by the burglar breaking into your house.

I wish every day was 36 hours long.

Wish granted. You are now expected to work 33 hours per day, 200 days a year (out of 244). The extra work doesn't aide you financially, though: you are a salaried worker.

I wish for a cure for radiation poisoning (which I rec'd due to that POS reactor :ouch2:

Wish granted, the cure is something that would kill you anyways, even it DOES cure radiation poisoning.

I wish for a burglar-proof computer caase.:devil:

[QUOTE=kracker;318859]I wish for a burglar-proof computer caase.:devil:[/QUOTE]Wish granted! You go to the garage and retrieve the old inferior case that you set aside after receiving that spiffy new case from a previous wish. You know for sure that this old case is burglar-proof because the burglar walked past without noticing it when he robbed you.

I wish that the burglar have a change of heart, dedicate himself to good works and travel the world successfully promoting peace.

Granted! and he is successful at promoting world peace in his journeys, until the new heart gives out while in the backwaters of Detroit and he dies on the spot causing a world-wide period of grief and a generation to grow with an even more cynical attitude about the world.

I woosh that everyone could, in addition to their own language/s, speak a common human language that encompassed the whole nuance of understanding that is each other's experience and that the dead burglar's work could then continue.

I woosh I could infinitely overclock my computer.

Granted. Pity the mobo can't keep up.

I wish for a program which would output the fastest x86 assembler code equivalent to a given program.

Granted. Unfortunately the runtime of that program is measured in decades.

I wish my kids would clean up when i ask them to the first time.

Granted. But they never clean up what you told them to...

I wish for a phone that always gets reception and doesn't get scratched up.

Granted! But you dropped your ceramic land-line and it shattered.:max:

I wish that I was the perfect specimen of my species and gender.:flex:
