I leave them both to drown and take the sealion home. It's a sealion, they're cute. And it's made of guns! How awesome is that as a pet?

I find it surprising the number of times the button attempts to change the sex of the player. Even more surprising is the high percentage of people who seem to take this change when it's offered, it always seems to be between 40 & 60%.

Unfortunately some of the people submitting questions to the site don't seem to understand what the word "downside" means

How about a little game to waste some time? There is this website http://willyoupressthebutton.com/ The idea is pretty basic, you press the button and get something good but it also comes with a downside e.g. you get some money but someone dies. There are a lot more scenarios than that though...

Worst story since The Web Planet in 1965. We've got the horrible, horrible nonsensical science that even by the "reverse the polarity of the neutron flow" standard of Doctor Who was completely bloody ridiculous. And then we get the idea that risking the lives of 7 billion people to save 1 baby...

Can we all add our own paradoxes in here? I get home one day to find a large envelope has been pushed through my letterbox. Inside the envelope are a full set of instructions for how to build a time machine. I build the machine and follow the final instructions that say, Write down all of...

Save it in case I ever need it. If I'm ever diagnosed with a terminal illness maybe I can jump forward and find a cure.

The Star Trek universe. Cornucopia technology, space & time travel, friendly aliens (ok, and a few unfriendly ones), holodecks. There's just so much to explore.

I'm in favour of equality. No one should be able to walk around the streets in posession of lethal weapons without some form of regulation. So humans don't get to carry guns without some sort of licence and mutants who can fling random small pieces of metal at the speed of bullets can't...

Me against Dearth Nadir... He presumably has some sort of Force powers and he also has Chicken Stormtroopers to aid him so it could be quite tough. On the other hand he's just a muppet so that gives me quite an advantage.

I load my shotgun, grab the 'phone and a torch & call the police to report an intruder. Then I wait for the police to arrive. And if some creepy little demon freak thing appears before they do I'm gonna shoot it.

It has to be the future, I just don't know how far forward I should go to ensure the right mix of awesome things being available though. Would 1000 years be enough to have my own interstellar space craft and sufficient medical tech to achieve immortality?

I don't feel that I have the right to force anyone to go on living if they have, with full presence of mind, made the decision to die. I am a member of a cryonics organisation and this reminds me of a case from the 90s where one of their members who had suffered from depression for 20+ years...

This is an extremely tempting offer. On the yes side are, There are a number of technological innovations that I really want to take advantage of but don't expect to see developed during my lifetime. If I leave some investments growing while I cryosleep, the compound interest for a few...

If you're not religious but still want to be immortal, there's only really one other option at the moment http://www.alcor.org/
