    In no way do I think it's acceptable to objectify women or think of them in any way, but I can't feel bad for saying or agreeing with someone that the girls they're talking about are insanely hot. To say that I want them is a different matter entirely. However, I also don't think the guys posting here actually mean to objectify them like that.

    Don't get me wrong, I love it and would happily live on it for months at a time, but given how outrageously impossible that would be to buy and keep, I'd prefer a Wallypower superyacht to travel the world on. Not alone either. I'd want one big enough for friends and family so they could come along too :)

    For some reason this thread popped into my mind earlier this evening, and I got to thinking about another ability that I thought would be cool to have. (Side note: I've been developing a certain superhero over the course of the past decade or so. I'll probably never do anything with it, but it's fun to continually develop the character - his strengths and weaknesses, his character flaws, and his motives for what he does).

    I would like omniscience, but it would have to be limited otherwise it just becomes too silly. Rather than knowing everything outright, I would like the ability to know everything that is currently known. In other words, I can recall any information that is actively known at that given time, but only if another living being knows the information as well. Having the information written in a book isn't good enough; someone else has to know the information without looking it up. Think of it as a global hive mind that only I can access.

    At first it seems awesome - and it's pretty cool, I admit - but when you realize that the information doesn't actually convey ability you begin to see the limitations. Sure I might be able to tell you how perform a certain surgery or list the steps to cooking a gourmet meal, but the information isn't entirely useful without the skills necessary to perform the job. Then you have to worry about what happens when someone forgets that critical piece of information that you'll need in five minutes.

    I think that idea is interesting.

    And the ability to do or rather learn almost anything instantly.

    ^this.

    Armed with this ability, you could actually have anything you wanted. Why wish for a few things, when you could have this ability, and effectively give yourself the necessary skills, or knowledge to get anything you wanted with a little work?

    It just shows you how short sighted greed can be :)

    Strangely, I really would like an apocalypse of some kind and be one of the very few remaining.
    Zombies, killer robots, dodgy plants, I am not fussed really.

    I would also add the emotional stability to deal with it all.

    It's no use having the highest IQ in the universe if you end up using it to build a mega death ray. :p
