  • If all tools were sentient cartoon creatures, what profession would be most altered, and how?
  • If a cheese grater makes the cheese smaller, would a cheese less make the cheese larger? That's just a dumb joke.

  • If you could live your life backwards, would you?
  • Would you pay $1000 and drive 10 hours to a place where it was raining backwards?

  • What if, when babies got too large for pacifiers, they were each given a doorknob instead?
  • If you had the skill to flip a coin so that it looks extremely random but always ends up on the same side, would you use this power for evil?

  • How much would you pay to look exactly like William Shakespeare for a day? Would anyone recognize you?
  • If you could at any time get a free apple, but you have to first watch somebody vomit in front of you and then disappear having been seen only by you, would you use that ability?

  • If you had a hand coming out of your butt, and it was sentient and got along well with you, would you have it removed?
  • If you knew for a fact that you were going to die on your 500th laugh, beginning now, how would that change how you live your life?
