zadojla Posted May 19, 2005 Report Posted May 19, 2005 I think it would all hinge on being very specific in your wording..And hope the genie wasn't hard of hearing, like the joke where guy ends up with a 12-inch pianist. Quote
sanctus Posted May 19, 2005 Author Report Posted May 19, 2005 Actually, in all seriousness, I would wish that no more war would ever again be in mankinds future. I'm sad to say that I'm confident that my wish will not be granted. even if it is abit out of topic, why so pessimist if it is genie it can do what it wants so...but maybe a bit twisted no mankinid no war between humans Quote
infamous Posted May 19, 2005 Report Posted May 19, 2005 even if it is abit out of topic, why so pessimist if it is genie it can do what it wants so...but maybe a bit twisted no mankinid no war between humansI don't even think a genie could deliver such wonderful wish, I think the collective will of humanity would overcome his power.

IMAMONKEY! Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 That reminds me of another joke... All women please dont be offended by this, i heard it but it doesnt mean i liked it: A man walked down the interstate then saw something gleaming in the dust. He picked it up to find a lamp! Even though he didnt think a genie would appear he rubbed it. And out of the lamp, a genie did appear! :P "Master! You were kind enough to release me! For this i will grant you 1 wish!" the genie said imperiously. "Well... my car crashed because of all these turns in the road... I wish there was a completely straight road for everywhere i might need to go. Even to Europe!" said the man quite mildly. "Ummmmm... I cant. That is to much to ask of me, and is probably the one thing that i cannot do" "ok then... I guess ill try something else... Hmm... how about this one... I wish that i could understand the minds of women!" The genie of course thought about this for a moment. Then he finally turned to the man and while searching in his pocket he took out some paper and pencil. He said: "How wide do you want these roads to be?" :o Personally i see this joke as a compliment. If i was a girl i would see the meaning of this joke as saying... Womens minds are more complex then men and hence they must be more intelligent! :D  Wait a minute.... :shrug: i just insulted myself...  ;) and you guys talk of complex wishes? i htink you are right. in the opening statement of this thread, i think that genie was quite spiteful... other than that, the only way to get the perfect wish is to make a contract and read it off to the genie. YOu would also need to have absolutely no loopholes! :o very hard... Quote
IMAMONKEY! Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 Ive done it!!!! i have the perfect wish that cannot be turned!!! OK! I wish that at this very moment in time and at this very place, that you would allow me 3 more wishes after but not including this wish which i am currently stating, while at the same time not allowing anyone to die, become injured, cease bodily functions, or suffer in any way shape or form while still remaining and functioning normally in their day to day lives, as well as absolutely no effects upon the entire world other than your mind which will henceforth and forever more allow me to have granted with no disfiguring of words, word meanings, phrases, or other sentence structures, the three wishes i require! As a side note, no animals are to be hurt in the granting of this wish! :P  There! twist that! :shrug: Quote
IMAMONKEY! Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 ... :note: Â I said no effects upon the world whatsoever. There ya go :note: Quote
sanctus Posted May 23, 2005 Author Report Posted May 23, 2005 Give me some more time imammonkey and I'll twist it around....Twist this one around:"I want a bunch of roses" Quote
IMAMONKEY! Posted May 29, 2005 Report Posted May 29, 2005 Well its been a while and i dont think youve twisted it yet :naughty: Quote
C1ay Posted May 29, 2005 Report Posted May 29, 2005 I wish that at this very moment in time and at this very place, that you would allow me 3 more wishes after but not including this wish which i am currently stating, while at the same time not allowing anyone to die.....Somewhere you've likely just kept the police from killing a murderer, allowing them to live so that they can kill more people in the future. There are likely numerous twists on this one point alone....

0100genius Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 i wish for all the goodness that is, and to be immune to all the evil that is is one of my prayers Quote
0100genius Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 start doing what , now matter how hard i try i won't succeed in what ever i do unless it is his (the one who created us's ) will. Cedars 1 Quote
Queso Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 hey, you have your own life. do what you want. with an attitude like that you won't succeed in anything, you're right. believe in yourself and actually try instead of praying to nowhere. hard work pays off, mate. Quote
sanctus Posted May 30, 2005 Author Report Posted May 30, 2005 here you go: you didn't say when he should grant you the other three wishes: one now and three when you are dead.... Quote
justforfun Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 If praying goes to nowhere how do you explain those scientific experiments in which plants that were prayed over grew better than those that weren't. Something seems to happen when we pray, regardless of who we pray to! Quote
pgrmdave Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 Could you show us the data from these experiments, and where the results were published? How were they performed, what kind of plants, what was the control? Quote
