Domi Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I was just thinking about making three wishes, and I can come up so far only with two: -Time -Native Proficiency in English what are your coveted dreams? Link to comment
Daulmakan Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I was just thinking about making three wishes, and I can come up so far only with two:-Time -Native Proficiency in English what are your coveted dreams? You know, you can acquire the latter with former. Without giving it much thought: - Financial security - Immortality (at will) - A safe world to enjoy the other two Of course, this reminds me: "An elderly man was sitting alone on a dark path, right? He wasn't certain of which direction to go, and he'd forgotten both where he was traveling to and who he was. He'd sat down for a moment to rest his weary legs, and suddenly looked up to see an elderly woman before him. She grinned toothlessly and with a cackle, spoke: 'Now your *third* wish. What will it be?'" "'Third wish?' The man was baffled. 'How can it be a third wish if I haven't had a first and second wish?'" "'You've had two wishes already,' the hag said, 'but your second wish was for me to return everything to the way it was before you had made your first wish. That's why you remember nothing; because everything is the way it was before you made any wishes.' She cackled at the poor berk. 'So it is that you have one wish left.'" "'All right,' said the man, "I don't believe this, but there's no harm in wishing. I wish to know who I am.'" "'Funny,' said the old woman as she granted his wish and disappeared forever. 'That was your first wish.'" Link to comment
berelinde Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Better health for loved ones. Independant means that would allow me to stop working. No more violence. Link to comment
Domi Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 You know, you can acquire the latter with former. I don't think so. Everyone has a limit on the language ability. Link to comment
Daulmakan Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I don't think so. Everyone has a limit on the language ability. Given enough time, I think such a limit could be overcome, or at the very least, extended. In any case, I love your accent. Link to comment
Guest wisher Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 - 48 hours in a day - Interplay never died - Planescape: Torment 2 \ Baldur's Gate 3 on the Infinity engine (least possible of these three wishes :| ) Link to comment
Icendoan Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Oh, Domi, you don't want Native Proficiency in English, because most of us speak it worse than people who have it as a second language. Icen Link to comment
