The question of the day thread - Page 56 - BBV4Life -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

The devil comes to visit you, he tells you first off, that you will forget this conversation as soon as he walks away. Then he tells you that you will die painlessly in your sleep sometime next week unless you pay him a good sum of money.
How much would you be willing to pay to the devil to avoid death? How much is that worth to you?

Assuming there is no heaven nor hell.

No, but my religious upbringing keeps popping into my head which makes me question my disbelief. Maybe I should just start believing again.

You grab a coin and pray to god "If you are up there, please show me you are there and make this coin land heads every single time"

The first coin you throw is heads, the next is heads, the next is heads...
How many consecutive heads would you need to start suspecting there is a god, how many would you need to be sure?

For the record God is Pagan and you heathens will all burn.

Rank the following superpower in the order you would rather them:

a) make anyone you speak to tell you the truth (you can turn this on and off)
b) pause time for 3 seconds (well the equivalent of 3 seconds to you) whenever you want (you can't do anything, but it gives you some think time)
c) eat all you want and stay in good shape
d) speak and understand every language (not really a superpower, but cool anyway)
e) morph into you at any age (e.g. you can change into your 21 year old self when you are 70). You still live your life and will die of old age, but you will look young doing it.

d) 1 Easy income as an interpreter.
e) 4 I might need this when I'm hiding from creditors, the police, or angry women.

QOTD

Jesus knocks on the door and you let him in because, you know, he's Jesus.

He says I'm going to transform you into a woman for "X" amount of time. You get to choose "X". How long do you choose?

You get turned into as a decent, but not stunningly, looking woman. Maybe a 6 or 7 out of 10.

While you have your own mind, you do get typical lady attributes. You know:

a) you will like the color pink
b) you will find terrible music cool
c) you will go through the fun hormone stuff once a month
d) you may be attracted to the boys (how strong can you fight those female urges)
e) and so on...
