What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

Why impregnate them all? Why not just impress them to the point that they would throw themselves at you and hang themselves on you like ornaments? (Just a suggestion).

what good is a bee that isn't pollinating flowers? reproduction is the closest thing to immortality we've got. i figure there's a reason men seek out the most attractive women, they've got the best genes. so i would get the chance to spread my seed amongst a diverse group of the most perfect women on earth. they're also likely to retain the means to properly rear the little brats.

and because new ones mature on a regular basis, i'd have an activity to keep me busy for the rest of my days. i can't think of a better job to have, really.

Another mission to accomplish is learning the people what the reason is of all wars and learning how to avoid that.

Want to hear something morbid? My first thought was suicide. I might need a shrink.

shh! Don't let my short-tempered husband hear you.

Husband? Oh, great... another sexual fantasy blown to hell...

Its Ok I can't possibly fail.

Since when husbands/boyfriends prohibit sexual fantasies?

Unless you hoped MIH is a virgin

Hmmm, how about this: answer every Physics Forum homework question with "I believe you'll figure it out if you think about it a little more."

Play the lottery.

Actually, that's the first thing I thought of too.

Redbelly, I love the festive headgear!

Aren't those worms?

 

[Borek]

I am not sure I like the idea of green worms on my head

 

[Kurdt]

Oh its a Borek tribute now. Sorry.

 

[Redbelly98]

Oh its a Borek tribute now. Sorry.

Yes. I'm paying tribute to our 2008 Funniest Member! Plus, it is now Dec. 29 in Poland, which is a special day:

I would prove the Riemann Hypothesis ;-)

Along with making a great contribution to the mathematical community, I'd win the Clay Mathematics Institute $1,000,000.00 award, and probably the Fields Medal and maybe even a Nobel Prize (if they could apply that to something other than pure mathematics).

Don't you recognize Borek's green foil wig?

Since the last time I had a gun shoved up my nose by one. (Okay, see... I always try to live out my fantasies...)

Unless you hoped MIH is a virgin

For some unfathomable reason, that absolutely never crossed my mind.

Re: What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

Something stupid, like seeing if it nonfailure could include convincing myself I would fail.

 

[binzing]

Meh...

 

[chaoseverlasting]

It would be boring if you knew you would succeed. It would take the challenge out of everything. Half the satisfaction of succeeding at anything is knowing that there was a chance that you could have failed, and you didnt. I think I would waste away if that ever came to be.

It would be nice to not face any obstacles any more. And remember only you can't fail there will still be plenty of failure around you to keep things excited.

Perhaps it would be less fulfilling.

On the other hand, one could try to fail at other tasks to which tribdog alluded.


But then if one tries to fail, and succeeds in failing, it that success?

 

[offtheleft]

realistically: id apply to berkeley haha

other wise, if i knew i couldn't fail, id try to fail. making me succeed at failing thus creating some sort of paradox. correct? sorry, its way to early :(

I ace all my exams with a perfect score. It would completely ostracize me from the rest of my class, but then that's more or less already happened.

hmmm...seeking the secret of living healthy & happy forever!

I'd bring it up but Cy would smite me.

 

[wolram]

Be an ologist of oligies (are they words)? or just be able to remember stuff.

 

[noumed]

What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

I think I would try to write and publish a novel.

How about you?

Love people with all my heart.
