Hmmm...

I'd probably do something Arthur C. Clarke-ish, you know, like imploding Jupiter into a star and saying
[q]ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS
EXCEPT EUROPA
ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE[/q]
or something. Of course I'd then need to advance society into an advanced technological state so they could use them, but whatever. Space Odyssey rules.

What an odd post.
Sesqu... Sesqui... what?
Sesquipedalian, the best word in the English language.

I, and athiest, wouldn't be in this situation because deity's only exist when you worship them.

But, for that sake of argument, lets say there is a holy being and I was given this choice.

1.  I'd wish for eternal serenity in my afterlife.
2.  I'd request, after I die, my own universe where I am this un-named holy being.

Then, i'd go out, find some good friends and spend my last day talking to those that mean the most to me.

lets be literal.   Dead in 24 hours no matter what (wishes and requests can't alter that so I shouldn't waste them)...

I get 1 wish, sounds like a done deal, as for the request, that may or may not be granted..that's iffy wording...

   Let's see... I'd wish for a complete program that humans can recreate that enables the human concoiusness to occupy machine conciouness (AI) and also be transported back again to huamn body... Then the request would be when the 24 hours were up to have my conciousness placed in a android body (move over Data!)... Thereby my sacrifice would be a boon to medicine, exploration, and the military...

   Going for the heroic angle here...
Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide target selection !

Well, me..

Id ask to be forgiven for all my sins and be excepted into heaven.
Nothing fancy.. :D

One minor request while I was still alive, I would want the ability to see everyones soul, they say the soul gives off an aurora. the aurora is described as being the amount of faith the person has in god, the brighter the aurora is, the higher amount of faith they have.. :)
