Already had that but I probably would like to have sex again.
Oh and sex in a public place. :-)
Well I guess there's more things left to try out but that's more for some 'other' forum.

Well I would say "finish a game" but if I really wanted it, I would do it. That's more something for a fairy that grants me 3 wishes where I could go ahead and say "Give me the skills to finish a game", "Give me the motivation to finish a game", "Give me the money to finish a game".

Oh and yeah outerspace. Kinda depending on how humanity gets when I still live. I'll never have the 40 million dollars to buy a space trip, but once it gets down to let's say $1000 I'd do it.

1) A son and a Daughter (or maybe more than one of each)
2) Own a piece of land big enough to ride a horse on (Note: I don't actually want the horse, just the land)
3) Set foot on all 7 continents (or at least the 6 non-frozen ones)
4) Sex in outer space. (200000 mile high club?)
5) Still be alive when Betelgeuse explodes. (Most beautiful night sky in earth's history (and almost all of earths prehistory too!))

Although seriously, I probably have a better chance of conceiving #1 while doing #4 than I have of living to see #5 :)

Myturnokgo!

1) Finish my comic book
2) Be of service to the world
3) Marriage and kids (optional: the kids being conceived within the Earth's core, amidst a rhinoceros stampede, or front row center during Stravinsky's Rite of Spring)
4) Understand QED
5) Meet aliens

Also, I wanna die as an old man in an extremely violent way. "Grandpa died of cancer" is a wasted opportunity for a good story. I prefer: "Grampa was bludgeoned off a space elevator, from which he fell and landed on a helicopter ... which was flying over a sea of sharks."

QED = Quantum Electrodynamics :-)
The theory that's currently applied in the standard model of physics.
But thanks!

Re aliens: I've read that meteor impacts have occured frequently enough that panspermia could possibly have happened between Earth and Mars multiple times. Panspermia between solar systems doesn't seem likely though.

I want to meet thinking aliens! I want to ask them about their theories of science... or about other aliens, do they have religions? Do they sense using sight and sound? Do they have music? Did they develop a Newtonian approach to understanding physics before a relativistic one? Is intelligent life typically bipedal? Is land life typically quadrapedal? Is sexual reproduction common? If so, is marriage common? Does all life share the same biochemical system: DNA, RNA and amino acids? What are the environmental criteria for supporting non-bacterial life? Do our societies share common features? Our languages?
Anyways, the galaxy has existed for many billions of years longer than our solar system. This means there has been plenty of time for the alien civilization to progress far beyond our current stage. There's got to be a whole troupe of alien dudes out there who have studied other alien civilizations that can answer these questions. They'd probably be happy to tell me, except they're probably too frustratingly wise to interfere with human history or something.

I edited my post because you guys brought up a good point.

I've always wanted to meet aliens, at least cool ones.

We need a "Extraterrestrial Life" thread. That is a very interesting subject which could easily derail this also very interesting thread.

1) Complete a Ph.D at Harvard, Stanford, Oxford or Cambridge.
2) Conduct the Berlin Phil.
3) Get on to the property ladder and develop a portfolio.
4) Be given a personal chair.
5) Tend an expansive and exotic garden.

Quite mundane, but all personal and important to me.

(PS: Does anyone have any experience of Harvard? I need to start thinking of my application!)
