    4. If I could invent anything—and it worked—it would be an anti-gravity device.
    5. If I could change one thing in history it would be my past mistakes.
    6. If I had my way the future would be cleaner, safer and more prosperous.
    7. If I could have anything at all—whether existing today or not—it would be forty billion dollars. ;-)

    1. If I had forty billion dollars I would establish a trust fund used to improve education around the world.
    2. If I could elect anyone to the Presidency of the United States it would be Paul Allen of Infobase Ventures. He’s such a hard-working, humble man. I trust him.
    3. If I were President of the United States I would finish the job in Iraq as soon as possible, bring the troops home, and fix the U.S. federal budget.
    4. If I could invent anything—and it worked—it would be a cold fusion power plant.
    5. If I could change one thing in history it would be Stalin’s rise to power.
    6. If I had my way the future would be full of good opportunities for everyone.
    7. If I could have anything at all—whether existing today or not—it would be an estate in upstate New York.
    8. If I could meet anyone—whether alive today or not—it would be Jesus. I know, how unoriginal. Benjamin Franklin would be really neat to meet, too.
    9. If I had a time machine I would go 80 years into the future to see what impact my life had on the world. I would love to see if anyone still remembered me.
    10. If I could write the last sentence—and finish it—it would be “And thus it was. Amen.”

    1. If I had forty billion dollars I would buy my own island and create a hedonistic paradise (or cure some horrible disease. Either or.)
    2. If I could elect anyone to the Presidency of the United States it would be Benjamin Franklin (he was the one “founding father” who never became president, but should have. Plus, he could set the record straight on the constitutional ammendments, particularly the right to bear arms).
    3. If I were President of the United States I would spread the wealth with the have-nots of the world.
    4. If I could invent anything—and it worked—it would be the “easy button” (like in that commercial… you know the one).
    5. If I could change one thing in history it would be the discovery of oil.
    6. If I had my way the future would be just like people thought it would be in the 1980s (flying cars that run on banana peels).
    7. If I could have anything at all—whether existing today or not—it would be a virtual-reality Playstation (Resident Evil 2 would be insane!)
    8. If I could meet anyone—whether alive today or not—it would be William Shakespeare.
    9. If I had a time machine I would go back in time to the very beginning (I want to see whether the Pastafarians are right about the Flying Spaghetti Monster)
    10. If I could write the last sentence—and finish it—it would be “Ah b-gee, g-bee, b-gee… That’s all folks!”
