You want the MONEY?!

I can't believe that most people are clicking for the money. Come on guys, you value money over knowing what it's all about? You value money over having your own island??!! You could sell an island for more than $23,000!!!
That reminds me, but you'll only get this if you're British. Do you remember Castaway 2000? They put a whole bunch of guys on this gorgeous Scottish island for a year. Anyway, this island's called Taransay and I visited it last summer. It's got white beaches, totally clear water, its own chapel, standing stones, old ruined mills, everything's amazing. Thing is, there's this bloke who owns the whole island, and he inherited it from this old guy he befriended. The old guy's family were well p*ssed off. It's the coolest island ever. I'm going to befriend the owner and then push him under a train. Or something.

Man, I wanted to teleport. I could teleport into a bank, grab some cash, and get out. And they wouldn't be able to get me, sure, I'm in prison, or something, and then "BAAZAAAAT" (That the sound I'd make when I teleported), I'm on dude's new island (Because he befriended other dude and pushed him under a train) kicking back with some cash and some nice sunglasses. What gives people?!?!?! Think about it!

When I voted it was $230,000!!!!!!!! He lowered it to $23,000............ which incidently I'd still take....... even in Canadian Dollars :) Either way it's a lot of presssure off. That's a nice downpayment on a mortgage so I can stop paying astronomical rent every month! Or it woudl pay off a lot of debt and give me a nice nest egg for next time I'm laid off (learned my lesson)!!!

RE: You want the MONEY?!

It was a toss-up between the money and "knowing the meaning...". How can I be sure that what I'd know would be the REAL meaning? So, I'll take the money. And pay off my student loans. Partially.

OK, nevermind, give me the sweatsuit jumper with lights thingy.

I picked the money too but I think its because it appeals to that instant gratification part of my brain. I know I could do neater things with the ability to teleport etc but the cash is right there in your face screaming CASH!!

Toss up btw the teleport and the time travel - you could go to the future and come back with some coolio inventions... and maybe the knowledge to like save the world. That's gotta be worth more than 23 grand.

RE: You want the MONEY?!

I'd take the time travel thingie or the start over in grade school bit. Why? For the time travel bit, I could go back to, like, 1979 and buy a bunch of Microsoft or Intel stock. That would make me quite rich so I wouldn't have to worry about finding a job now. If I started over in grade school, that'd still put me back in 1979 (or 1978 if I had to start with kindergarten). Plus if I knew then what I know now I'd be all about getting some higher-level learning in those kiddie years, and I'd leave high school a couple of years early to attend some prestigious university and stuff so I could make mad bucks if my millions in MSFT and INTC stock weren't enough to satisfy.
