d) Cool gadgets courtesy of a)

e) HE IS THE FREAKIN' BATMAN FOR PETE'S SAKE

1) Transformers

Reasons:

Sure, the sequel to transformers sucked but, who doesn't:

-want a car who's also a sentient robotic alien that can transform into virtually anything.

-want to fight against evil with sentient robotic aliens.

-want to chill with Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and the gang.

How about you, what are 5 things that you wish existed and why?

[Dravin]

But Apple, #1 and #5 are mutually exclusive. At least for the Husband...

[Wingnut]

I don't have a top 5, but I might come up with more later. I do have one thing, though. I want a summoning spell, like in Harry Potter.

"Accio phone!"

"Accio keys!"

"Accio glasses!"

[Dravin]

You want Klingons?

You know now I'm picturing the DMZ in in Korea manned by a bunch of Klingons. Take that Kim Jong II!

[Guest xforeverxmetalx]

Just five? Hm... how about one. Fairies/genies/<insert wish granter of your choice>.

"You may have one wish."

"Infinite wishes!"

I'm on this bandwagon.

[ADoyle90815]

1. a TARDIS

2. Invisibility cloak

3. flying cars

4. common cold vaccine

5. cancer vaccine-something like Gardisil, but found to be completely safe.

[FormalMan]

1. Time Machine

2. Hahah Invisibility Cloak (ADoyle, good one)

3. That Inception dream machine thing

4. A pill that actually feeds you (skips the whole meal all together)

5. The need for sleep to be gone. (Wastes too much time)

[Mute]

5 things I wish existed.

1. Instant or near instant travel to other planets and galaxies.

I'd find it fascinating if we could travel to other worlds. Sadly, I'll be long dead before we can ever travel to other solar systems.

2. A way actually go into stories or movies kind of like how Reading Rainbow does.

It would be another form of entertainment.

3. A way to avoid an after life if there is one.

I can't imagine I'd be happy in such a place if one is anything like what many religions believe it to be. I'd also much rather be mortal than I would immortal. Life is worth more when you can lose it. You can learn a lot more by being a mortal than you could by being immortal. How would one learn to conquer their fear if they have nothing which can harm them? We would never have heroes risking their life to save another. We wouldn't value time like we do. There are so many reasons why I feel mortality makes life worth living as to being immortal.

4. A way to tell why so many species have continually gone extinct over time.

I'd like to know why the dinosaurs became extinct and what we can do, if anything, to prevent our own extinction.

5. A better method to finding, fighting and capturing or killing terrorists.

I don't like them.

I'm sure there are a lot more things I wish existed but I'd have to think about it.

[captmoroniRM]

Lightsabers

Teleporters (like star trek)

Universal Translator

Allomancy or surgebinding

BioChroma.

[staytrue2faith]

1. Magic.

2. Painless medication- Takes away any pain in seconds.

3. Another chance at life or getting to live twice.

4. An easy button.

5. Talking animals that speak english please!

How about a holodeck? that would be awesome!

[Wingnut]

Yes! Also the spell Dumbledore does to clean up the house Slughorn is staying in in Half-Blood Prince.

I did a Harry Potter marathon over the last two days, and just watched that this afternoon, and commented -- after that very scene -- to my husband that that would be the second spell I'd like to have.

I like the way life is right now.

[Guest mirancs8]

I would be like a kid in the candy shop to have one of these guns!

And on those days that I just don't feel like coming into the office... a robot to do my work while I'm not there.

For the times I would really like to live like I dream... a dream machine.

When I'm finding that my mate isn't telling me what he's "really thinking" I simply pull out my mind reading abilities. Problem solved!

And finally a personal arm zapper. When you're about to do something or think about something you know you're going to later regret it automatically gives you a nice zap back to reality lol.

[Bini]

Here's mine..

• The Marshmallow Man or the Pillsbury Dough Boy will do.

• Pete's "Puff The Magic Dragon"

• Ewoks

• A Mini-Me of myself (that would be really cool!)

• Low cal carbonara

[Saldrin]

[Volcanogrills]

My wish is far simpler. A mute button I can use on anything I want. Loud music? ---MUTE!! Filthy mouth! MUTE!! Negative attitudes? MUTE! I think that would make me pretty doggone happy. Yappy dog next door? MUTE!! Snoring wife? MUTE! Droning high councilman? Mute! The possibilities are endless.
