If you became ruler of the world, what three things would you do first?
- Make each and every corrupt government official a plumber's assistant. All the poop, none of the pay.
- Overhaul the courts system so that those who are doing wrong actually get more than a slap on the wrist. (or a wad of money, for that matter.).
- Teach compassion and walking a mile in another's shoes.

If you were a superhero, what would be your name and what powers would you have?
I don't know what name I would have but I would have the power to brilliantly illustrate the truth such that it's absolutely undebatable. Note that I'm not referring to very convincing lies; I'm referring to telling the truth so plainly and unshakably that anyone's remote attempts at arguments would die on their lips.

You can ask one question to someone who knows EVERYTHING. What is it?
When's the Second Coming?

If you were invisible for a day, what would you do?
Document a whole lot of traffic infractions and give the cops a pile of videotapes and photos to collect on.

If you saw a mythical/religious deity walking down the street, what would you do?
Laugh, because 2/3 of the world is about to be in BIG trouble.

If you became ruler of the world, what three things would you do first?
1. Make us all start living sustainably.
2. Hold dialogues instead of wage wars.
3. Distribute wealth & resources equitably, so no one went without.

If you were a superhero, what would be your name and what powers would you have?
Super Chelle? I don't know about a name, but I would want the power to make people love, or at least tolerate, each other, and the power to teleport myself & other things.

You can ask one question to someone who knows EVERYTHING. What is it?
Why do we hate & how do we stop it?

If you were invisible for a day, what would you do?
Mess with my dogs. No, really, that's what I'd do.

If you saw a mythical/religious deity walking down the street, what would you do?
Invite them for a beer.

1) If you became ruler of the world, what three things would you do first?
1 - Ban Star Trek. For fucking ever.
2 - Impose a tax upon all religious institutions as well as banning anything and everything religious from public institutions; if they want to play in politics, they have to pay their admission price AND obey the laws that keep any one ideology from achieving dominance over others. I wouldn't BAN religion--people are entitled to it--but it's given far too much of a free ride in this world, and it's time they were brought into line with the rest of us--like, say, with business--instead of being placed on a pedestal.
3 - Sink absolutely as much as possible--probably by gutting the military, frankly--into a very comprehensive space program.

2) If you were a superhero, what would be your name and what powers would you have?
Well, I don't think I could have any name other than RocketGirl; s'been my nicknme for years, and I just wish I'd gotten an LJ account in time to get it...
As for my powers, well...to go along with that name, I'd probably have to be a gadget superhero like Batman--though by no means will my demeanor become all dark and broody like Batman--so I'd hve a rocket-powered jetpack, laser blaster, that sort of thing. Oh, don't get me wrong, I'd love to have actual super-powers like Superman, but I'd need to come up with something that would fit the name, and gadgets make more sense, really.
Maybe my power would be intuitive scientific--especially electronic--senses, the ability to build and fix just about anything in no time at all.

3) You can ask one question to someone who knows EVERYTHING. What is it?
Ooh, dat's a toughy. There are a lot of things I want to know, but the problem is that they're mostly yes/no questions like, "Is there actual supernatural magic of any kind?"...but if the answer is "no" (or if I phrased it as, "How can I use supernatural magic?" and the answer is, "You can't"), well, the question was kinna wasted. Oh, now I know for sure, one way or another, whether we live in an utterly mundane universe, and that's not an insignificant thing to know, but it doesn't really do me any good unless the answer is in the affirmative. And I'd want that answer given on camera, so the world can see it, because who the hell would believe me if I just told them I'd asked The Great and Wise Know-It-All?
So, what question could I ask that would be thoroughly useful no matter what the answer was? I honestly have no idea. I'll have to think on this one...the on-camera asking about the supernatural seems, to me, to be the best question I could ask. I'd have to preface it by saying, "Aside from your knowing everything ability..." which is likely supernatural all by itself, of course.

Then again, I might just ask, "What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?" Just to see if the answer really is "forty-two". ;)

4) If you were invisible for a day, what would you do?
Sneak into Area 51, of course.

5) If you saw a mythical/religious deity walking down the street, what would you do?
Make him/her/it/them prove his/her/its/their bona fides before buying it for a second.
Then...well, see #3, essentially. I'd probably ask something like, "So, um...the legends and dogma we have surrounding you...that shit accurate? I mean, do you really WANT all of that from us? Or is that just humans being humans, making that stuff up? Cuz it makes a difference, really...do you WANT my worship? Is it really required of me? Do you really have a list of rules for us to follow? Or is that just the human imagination getting out of hand? These are awfully important questions, Your Walking Around All Glowingness."

1. If you became ruler of the world, what three things would you do first? Well, let's see...
1. Get rid of stupid people, like Hillary Clinton.
2. Mandate a "Manhattan Project"-style program to create some kind of alternative energy to crude oil that wouldn't drive up food prices.
3. Mandate a more closely scrutinized welfare program. If you're able-bodied and can perform a day's work... bye-bye food stamps.

2. If you were a superhero, what would be your name and what powers would you have? "El Jefe Buzzer Two, Morpho El Guapo." I'd be able to speak more languages than were created at the Tower of Babel, be able to turn water into oil and back again and turn hateful people of all political persuasions ^^ into burbling piles of goo with a single grin.

3. You can ask one question to someone who knows EVERYTHING. What is it? "Why would you want to know EVERYTHING?"

4. If you were invisible for a day, what would you do? I know a few people I'd like to catch unawares with a few large ceramic pots...

5. If you saw a mythical/religious deity walking down the street, what would you do? If it wasn't God or Jesus, smile and shake my head, and keep on going.

1) If you became ruler of the world, what three things would you do first?

Create a mass transit network that would connect the entire world. Grant all citizens of the world equal human rights. Redirect the majority of global goverment spending towards alternative energy resources and higher education.

2) If you were a superhero, what would be your name and what powers would you have?

I'd be Wolverine, it just doesn't get any more awesome than claws, an indestructable metal skeleton, super human strength and the abilty to heal/regenerate.

3) You can ask one question to someone who knows EVERYTHING. What is it?

I'd ask what women really want, or why they go to the bathroom in groups.

4) If you were invisible for a day, what would you do?

Try not to get hit by a car.

5) If you saw a mythical/religious deity walking down the street, what would you do?

Depends on who it was. If it was a f*cking Hydra I'd rub away. If it was Athena I'd buy that woman a couple drinks and ask her for some really good pointers.

	Your answers to #3 are hilarious! Women go to the bathroom in groups because there's usually a line for the bathroom, so at least we'll have someone to talk to while we wait for our turn. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

1. If you became ruler of the world, what three things would you do first?
Build myself a sweet pad on a private island. Travel the world. Work on consolidating my power.

2. If you were a superhero, what would be your name and what powers would you have?
First off, don't know if I would become a superhero if I had super human powers. If I could have super human powers I think I'd either want to fly or be able to read minds. Being able to turn invisible wouldn't be half bad either. MAYBE ALL THREE! And my name would be my normal name. Flashy names aren't me.

3. You can ask one question to someone who knows EVERYTHING. What is it?
Jeez dunno. Hmm what's the secret to being happy?

4. If you were invisible for a day, what would you do?
Freak people out and, let's face it, steal stuff.

5. If you saw a mythical/religious deity walking down the street, what would you do?
Probably avoid them. As a mere mortal you don't want to go messing with deities. You're just not a match for them.

Fix the economy, end the wars, take a vacation.

2. If you were a superhero, what would be your name and what powers would you have?
Blizzard Skies, the power to heal.

3. You can ask one question to someone who knows EVERYTHING. What is it?
What happened to the dinosaurs?

4. If you were invisible for a day, what would you do?
Find Mick Jagger and grope him.

5. If you saw a mythical/religious deity walking down the street, what would you do?
If? I see them every day. I let them go about their business.

If you became ruler of the world, what three things would you do first?

It would become illegal to give anyone holding public office any form of gift or tip (anything in question would probably be counted, and I'd have final say). They would be paid minimum wage only, and would have the same health care as is provided for the public. Standardized aptitude testing would be required for anyone to hold public office. These tests would focus primarily upon intelligence and level of education.

All Government budgets would be shifted away from military advancement and instead toward Green technology. Standing Militaries would be disbanded as military forces and instead sent to work as public peace keepers.

Everyone would be forced to work retail or customer service for at least one year.

If you were a superhero, what would be your name and what powers would you have?

I don't know about name, but I'd most certainly be immortal.

You can ask one question to someone who knows EVERYTHING. What is it?

Do you still want to know everything?

If you were invisible for a day, what would you do?

Probably drive my roomies crazy at first. Not intentionally, but I'd probably be freaking out myself, which wouldn't help them at all. Once I came to grips my situation I'd probably spend the rest of the day screwing with peoples heads.

If you saw a mythical/religious deity walking down the street, what would you do?

After my double take, and depending upon who it is I see ('cause lets face it, I'd not want to find myself looking at a Gorgon) I'd probably offer them a hug.

1. If you became ruler of the world, what three things would you do first?
First, I'd redistribute wealth to a more uniform amount for each country.
Second, war would be eliminated.
Third, enact taxes and restrictions on organized religion. Not that they shouldn't exist, but there is too much power and money tied up in the agendas of those in charge of the major organized religions.

2. If you were a superhero, what would be your name and what powers would you have?
Invisibility. It could be a lot of fun.

3. You can ask one question to someone who knows EVERYTHING. What is it?
Why the hell is there so much pain and suffering? And if you know everything, start fixing these problems!

4. If you were invisible for a day, what would you do?
Scare the hell out of a few people I know but wish I'd never met.

5. If you saw a mythical/religious deity walking down the street, what would you do?
Stare at first. The go buy he/she their favorite drink and ask a few pointed questions (see #3).

If you became ruler of the world, what three things would you do first?
1) Administer the test about me I've always threatened to give to justify how I repeat stories all the time, and divide up the new class systems of the world based on how well people know me. Then promptly eliminate said class system, because, like all class systems, it is fundamentally retarded.
2) Find a way to make there be an endless supply of everything. Food. Water. Land. Time. Love.
3) Sit back and let everything else take care of itself.
If you were a superhero, what would be your name and what powers would you have? The Above Ruler of the World, my super power being the ability to supply the world with an endless supply of everything :-P
You can ask one question to someone who knows EVERYTHING. What is it? Is there a reason why for all of this? (Just a yes or no would suffice. I should know if I need to look for one or not, or just make one up).
If you were invisible for a day, what would you do? Spy on a lot of people. Also do good deeds (and, okay, maybe a few harmless pranks) that can't be done when one is not invisible.
If you saw a mythical/religious deity walking down the street, what would you do? How do I know they're a religious deity? I mean, if I see a guy looking like Jesus walking down the street, I just assume he's kind of crazy. If I knew . . . I think I'd just watch, try to met their eyes, and let them decide if they wanted to approach me or not. I don't want to be obnoxious religious-deity fangirl.
