Which would you rather have? $1,000,000 or immortality?

[Chimpy McCokespoon]

edit:

immortality: you won't go through some weird shit like in that movie "Death Becomes Her", your organs and bones will have the ability to regenerate themselves but you won't be able to travel interplanetarily, so when the sun goes super nova you better hope we have that ability to travel the stars otherwise you will just float around in the vacuum of space until you happen to float by another Earth-like planet or planetoid.

money: it's tax free and in a Swiss bank.

[Swede]

1. Immortality.

Invest $100 bucks in a mutual fund that gets 10% return,it will double every 7 years.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear Chimpy McCokespoon!

I'll take the money, as long as it's tax-free!

Immortality is over-rated, IMHO, of course...

Besides, I don't want to outlive my money!

Which one would you choose?

:hi:

[Chimpy McCokespoon]

5. The dough

Immortality would be a real bitch when the sun goes super nova.

[Shine]

3. I'd take the money

:D

I wouldn't want to live forever and then watch all my beloved ones die before me. I'd rather enjoy life while I'm living it and have some money for the ride....

:hi:

[Critters2]

4. Immortality

Given enough time, there's a chance I might do something that matters. Because so far...bupkes.

[Generic Brad]

6. Is this a trick question?

Because if I had $1,000,000 I could purchase a degree of immortality.

[JTG of the PRB]

7. Question: Does immortality include eternal youth and health?

Because that could be a deal breaker.

[bigwillq]

9. Does it?

:shrug: I would like to know the answer to that question before I make my decision.

[Chimpy McCokespoon]

13. Let's say you'll be and look like you are now.

And! and, you won't go through some weird shit like in that movie "Death Becomes Her", your organs and bones will have the ability to regenerate themselves but you won't be able to travel interplanetarily, so when the sun goes super nova you better hope we have that ability to travel the stars otherwise you will just float around in the vacuum of space until you happen to float by another Earth-like planet or planetoid.

[bigwillq]

14. Then I choose to live forevah!

:bounce:

I could always go out and make a million.

[Lorien]

8. I'd take the money

the planet isn't going to support the human race for that much longer anyway, plus I'd hate to outlive the friends I have.

[JVS]

10. eternally poor?

[billyskank]

11. The million.

I would buy a house in the US and set myself up for someone if they wanted to come live with me.

I have no use for immortality.

[Hosnon]

12. Immortality because of compounded interest. (nt)

[Mr. Blonde]

15. The money

I have always thought immortality was kind of a crappy deal. Especially if you stayed the same as when you reached maturity. You would think people would start to suspect something. To keep people from finding out you would have to keep moving around every couple of years and severing all ties with people. Seems like a pain in the ass.

The money on the other hand, a million still goes pretty far in some parts of the world.

[Melynn]

16. Immortality

Give me enough time and I could save a $1,000,000.

[cuke]

17. I've had enough of life. Give me the money!

[In_The_Wind]

18. I'll take the $1,000,000 or more!

[ZombieNixon]

19. I'll take the million.

Who the hell wants to live forever on this backwater shithole on the ass-end arm of an insignificant galaxy? :evilgrin:

[tkmorris]

20. Immortality

It's not even close. In fact, I can't think of ANY sum of money that would make it so.

[Perseid]

21. whoa

I'm having deja vu all over again. Does that mean I get a do-over on the life thing?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. I'll take the million.

I'll be back anyway. :D

[MonkeyFunk]

23. I'll take immorality

it's always served me well.

Oh wait... ImmorTality? I gotta think.

[Mythsaje]

24. Immortality...

A million dollars can't buy you immortality, but eternal life could make you VERY wealthy.

Just ask Deryk Shea. :)

[yewberry]

25. Easy.

I'd take the money.

I'm very happily married, and couldn't imagine a life, even an easy life, without Cam. He's my everything. Also, I've spent the past 2 years doing national service--essentially a vow of poverty. Honestly, a large sum of money (heck, even a small sum of money) would change our lives in an amazing way.

A million...heck, we'd be able to buy a house in the Seattle market! Dang, imagine that!

[Mutley]

26. The money

I don't want to watch everyone I ever love die.

[Inchworm]

27. umm, der?

Immortality. Yes I'd hate losing friends/lovers/mates all along the way, but I have learned one can get used to anything if you are in it long enough.

I could live on one of the many moons out there once the Earth is full.

:hi:

EDIT: bad gramer *poke*

[LostInAnomie]

28. I've always feared the idea of immortality.

Not because of the overwhelming boredom and nihilism that you would eventually encounter, but because I am extremely accident prone. Given an infinite amount of time I'm sure I would fall into a pit I would be unable to free myself from, break my neck and have a totally non functioning body, get ejected into the void of space, etc. Some situation where I would wish I could die but would be incapable.

But, it would be cool as hell until then.

[DarkTirade]

29. If I can choose to END said immortality if I end up drifting alone in space, sure.

I'd rather not be stuck alone for eternity.

[alphafemale]

30. I wouldn't want to be immortal. The idea of it scares the living shit out of me.

Always did, even as a kid.

I never saw the appeal...AT ALL.

So the $1M by default I guess.

[qdemn7]

31. Immortality!

A million bucks isn't shit these days. Make it a TRILLION! Now that would be a hard choice.

[MaggieSwanson]

32. The money, honey.

Immortality is overrated.

And I could do a LOT of good for a lot of people with that sum.

[ashling]

33. Do I get a third wish?

:)

[lildreamer316]

34. The money.

I don't want to live forever. Takes the sweetness out of life....

[Fox Mulder]

35. Immortality.

I'll have, well, forever to get a million dollars.

[carly denise pt deux]

36. 1 million isn't very much money today, so I will take the immortality

I have forever to make a million dollars.
Carly

[Tuesday Afternoon]

37. Go On Take The Money And Run.

on edit, Do Not Care To Outlive Loved Ones.

[Phillycat]

38. Question: if you're immortal, do you still have the ability to off yourself when you're ready?

I don't want to decide, "Okay, I'm over this life thing," and then find out there's no way for me to die.

[Burma Jones]

39. Immorality

a million bucks ain't what it used to be.......

[Deep13]

40. Immortality but only if my wife is immortal too.

Otherwise, what would be the point?

[guitar man]

41. I'd take the money

I always figured I'd burn out and die younger than I should anyway, that mil would let me have a hell of a time doing it! :bounce:

[tjwmason]

42. I'll take the money

I don't want to be an immortal in a society of mortals.

[Schema Thing]

43. geez, that's easy. The immortality.

if you have it, you can easily grow a million dollars within a hundred years or so. Probably sooner, as you would have such a confidence advantage over everyone else.

[huskerlaw]

44. Money

I don't really want to live forever.

[kay1864]

45. Hands down, immortality

I got a lotta books to read, movies to watch, and think of all the new friends I could make along the way!

[tuckessee]

46. Immortality

I'm not the kind of person who becomes "bored" and I'd really like to see some of the trees I've planted (white oaks, beeches, butternuts, hard maples, etc) mature into the stately beauties they will be in a couple hundred years.
