You find a magic lamp and out pops a genie. The genie grants you three wishes. The genie informs you it can grant any wish within it’s power, but certain things like altering events on a cosmic scale or bringing the brain dead back to life. It does not, however, mention not being able to grant more wishes, so the first thing you wish for is a million more wishes and… the genie grants your wish.

You now have a million and two wishes. What do you do and what do you wish for?

    I’d start wishing for super powers. Like spending a couple hours there, trying to remember all the cool powers (and some lame), even making up some new ones. And then go about fixing the world.

    So here’s a question: there’s always a rule against bringing the dead back to life, but there never seems to be a rule against making new people with highly specific conditions. So could there be any rule against cloning people? Could you not wish to have a clone of someone appear, with simulated memories accurate up to a specific point in their life?
