assuming i cant wish for infinate wishes...
1. the ability to become pure energy at any point in time i see fit, with the ability to contain my own energy and form (ie, i would not just dessipate), as well as the ability to deny extra energy form entering me, as well as maintaining my consiousness while doing so.
2. the ability to accelerate to any speed i wish, instantenously.
3. one of those kicking muslism martyr parties before i go off and have fun as NRGMAN!

Whoops, time to get a tissue and wipe the spooge from the keyboard.
Anyway ... some wise-ass is bound to say "I would wish for infinite wishes".  
I would have ... Peace on Earth, End to Disease and End to Hunger
No, what I'd actually pick is Immortality, Billions and Billions of Dollars and to be some kind of all powerful wizard. That'd be nice.

1 To be able to travel forward 24 hours in time and stay there for 1 hour whenever I want to before returning. (lottery ticket anyone?)
2 Total exemption from all taxes for ever.
3 Can't think of anything else, if I want something my first two wishes will mean I can buy it anyway.

3. A disease and acident free life for the people I love.

No, wait, replace clinical immortality with time travel ability without any temporal reprecussions - I'll just go to the future and get some scientist to make me clinically immortal with my mind control ability. Nihihihi!

Seriously, I would just buy a politician to start a war for me.

Time travel would be kewl
Then with all my Lotto winnings I would be able to buy happiness and rent the 'semplence of love, and I would just buy a flame thrower if I ever got any enemies.
I would then waste my wishes on stupid stuff like world peace (nobel prize to me), scientific advances (of which I would hold the patents), or for the reserection of the Cavandish... BANANA!

Mods can edit just about anything within a poll... however, the one thing we can't do is change it from multi to single, or from single to multi... I don't know why... but we can't.
So you are either stuck with this... or you can start a new thread with multi selected, and then I can delete this one... Best I can offer.

2) Control of all major governments
3) More wishes
Assuming 3 is not an option:
3) A functional time machine that can go both back and forward, and take me back to the present should I want to do so

Would you really want that? You'd be still going along just fine, while your family, your friends, the entire generation and mindset you lived in, died away...by 150 years you'd be a stranger in your own hometown. I can't think of many people who could take that.

Hmm. Well, there isn't specifically an "Olsen Twins" option so I guess I'll have to go for the more generic Chicks option.
- Did I just say that out loud?

1. A good wife.
2. Land, preferably out in the country so I could build a nice house, and not have to worry about city living.
3. Health to travel and enjoy the things above.
If I can't have 1, due to that condition, "I can't make people fall in love,"
than I'll settle for that replenishing bank account so that I can do what I want without having to worry about recompense.

1) Immortality, without aging, and the condition to end it if I feel I want to die.
2) Telepathy. Mind control isn't necessary if you can identify a person's desires and motivations.
3) I was gonna pick 'peace on Earth', but I recognize that this may well have many unforeseen ramifications, so I choose an end to unnecessary suffering, that is, pain that serves no purpose. If a pain can be instructive ("Oops, gotta take my hand off the stove"), it stays; if it isn't ("Oops, my legs got torn off by the thresher and I'm bleeding to death.... gee, this hurts") let them go in peace. This applies to all living things, human, non-human animal, vegetable (if they feel 'pain'), at all stages of development (from fetus to old age).
