Oh I disagree! I would think it off paramount importance to prove that there was absolutely no way Oswald was acting alone, if at all.

True, but I think maybe we'll know some day when all the conspirators are dead. The last one will probably leave something... I mean, it's too good a secret to keep! But if that doesn't happen, then I could see going to check out Dallas on that fateful day.

If a genie grants you one wish, I say wish for three more wishes!

They specifically say that you can not do that.

[Dom Pedro II]

C'mon now! It's in EVERY single genie movie or story... "Ixnay on the wishing for more wishes."

They do???

Well, I suppose even one wish wouldn't hurt. . .

[Julia]

I think I'd wish for happiness...

Nothing can go wrong with that eh?

Wow! Julia's found a loop hole in the wish scheme!!


Now... if only genies were real....

I'd wish that whenever I needed to pay for something, I could reach into my pocket and find the exact money required.

[Dom Pedro II]

Well, aren't we all getting clever now?

[Julia]

I like mine better....

happiness includes everything you could ever want or need...

After all, money isn't everything now, is it?

[Boris Godunov]

What if the genie decides you'd be happier if you were dead? They pull tricks like that.

Besides, happiness is rendered meaningless if it's constant. You would lose what it means to be happy if you were happy all the time.

And much of the world's greatest thoughts and art came from miserable people. Just ask Beethoven.

I wonder what its like to get up in the morning and go check out your thread at Apolyton only to find that its a completely different topic than the one you started...

[Boris Godunov]

Threadjacking is par for the course.

[Dom Pedro II]

Indeed it is... but I wonder how long the "trick the genie" topic can go on...
