You're out fishing in the middle of nowhere when you are abducted by aliens. After performing humiliating tests on you for a few hours, the aliens tell you that to make up for your trouble, they want to give you a gift. You can choose either: A. You will wake up tommorow with the knowledge necesary to cure all forms of cancer. or B. You will wake up tommorow and be irresistable to the opposite sex. You will be able to have anyone you desire. So.............hot chicks or cure cancer?
I would choose cure cancer; the inevitable fame would make me irresistible to the opposite sex, not to say that I'm not already irresistible...
Yeah, like that Jonas Salk guy who cured Polio. He could hardly fight off all the babes! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I would choose B. Option A is too much of a burden. I'd have to spend the rest of my life saving enough money to fund any cure, and people would think I was crazy. It'd be pretty frustrating after the first few days.
yep! I mean curing cancer would make you irresistible, not that you are already are. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
If we cured all forms of cancer, the human population on the planet would soon become overwhelming. Even now, over half of the population of the world is constantly hungry, and starvation is a serious threat. Baron Max
Correct. However, with more people, there would be more desire to slaughter one another, as you earthlings have been doing for millenia. You know, "natural selection" and "survival of the fittest." So the population issue may be moot. :itold:
I voted for hot chicks. As long as one other person voted to cure cancer (thanks buddy), I don't have to worry about it any more and can happily cavort with all the hot chicks.
Brilliant! I'd choose to get laid, you all know my situation, I cannot take it anymore and may soon die from lack of female, therefore I have no choice in the matter, to live longer I must get laid!
LOL - knowing your luck, the aliens would grant you 'irresistibility' to females .....and right after they dropped you off at your house, you would walk straight to your computer, and sit in your room by yourself posting on the internet about how you couldn't get laid. You would be this super handsome super sexy woman magnet, but you'd never leave the house to actually use your power.
Completely untrue. Life expectency would increase a bit mainly because of the young people who wouldn't die of cancer anymore, but we'd all die of heart failure or something else when we were old. Our bodies were not designed to last forever.
It depends on how mischievous the aliens were now. I mean you could choose option A and find that all the knowledge crammed into your tiny cranium makes you less intelligible than an Autistic on crack. So simply your new found discovery makes you Obsessive-Compulsive writing a myriad of notation that nobody but yourself can understand. If you go for option B, you could find your Grandmother, Mother and Sister giving you a little too much loving (and that by all means is wrong). As well as all those people of the opposite sex out there that you don't find attractive, perhaps even some of the same sex which think their women trapped in a mans body. Personally I'd pull option C, escape, find the Alien navigation control and crash the little SOB's into a fiery oblivion.
