The 8 pills.

[ShadowTiger]

A fun little topic. I saw this image on the internet, and thought I would ask you all which your preference would be. Naturally, the rule is that you can only take one, and it's yours for life.

Do please feel free to provide a thoughtful rationale for your choice, as well as any in-depth reasoning for such a choice. I look forward to hearing from you all.




-------------------------


Myself, I am actually quite pained by this. The Green Pill (Flight) and the Pink Pill (Shapeshifting) are completely tormenting me, forcing me to choose between them. Since before I was a child, I've wanted to do both. I know the obvious answer is to choose the Pink Pill and become a bird or something, but it would be anything but the same.

[Ventus]

I would take the Pink Pill, for the sake of being able to Shape shift. it would be a neat skill to have. I don't what I would do with it but.
I've always wanted turn into a animal or something and run free... Only for 2 hours though

If I had a chance I would take black pill to, Seeing into the future might be cool... Well until you see something you don't want to happen and you try to change it and something goes wrong.

[CJC]

Most of them weren't appealing. Future vision would imply that the future was predictable with any degree of accuracy, mind reading would involve touching somebody else's thoughts (considering how dirty people tend to think, I wouldn't want to be sullied in that way), the internet is easy enough to reach without magic powers, Love is not something to be won by magic, and narcotics do fine enough on their own to change a state of mind (not that I'd be interested in that either).

The only two with any prospect of interest would be flight and metamorphosis, and considering a shapeshifter could simply become a bird there's really no contest.


Plus, shapeshifting is cool.

Pink covers everything.

(Shapeshift into ANYTHING? Doesn't say animal. Plane. Rocket. And maybe there IS a being that can read minds?)

[bigjoe]

I'd pick flight. Being able to fly without changing form is something I've always desired to do. The shape-shifting pill would allow flight in other forms but I don't think it'd be the same. Plus, if you were to change into a rocket, how would it FEEL to be a rocket? It could be incredibly weird.

[Chris Miller]

Shapeshifting, definitely. I could turn into Link for a couple of hours, and go into peoples' houses and break all their jars.

[Beldaran]

Red Pill. Not even close.

[Xyvol]

If I could have the ability to choose what to see, or attempt to see, then I would take the black one. If it's unknown or random, then I'd probably chose the pink one.

[mrz84]

Flight, followed closely by shapeshifting.

[Brasel]

Mind reading would be nice. This is definitely a contender.
Flight in my current form is something I dream about on a weekly basis. I don't know how this isn't the winner for me.
I'd almost choose to become a master hockey player if a) it didn't shorten my life and b) the NHL wasn't locked out.
I don't get high; I get drunk. And getting to that drunken state is half the fun.
My phone is my Internet access and I almost always have it on me.
I have no desire to be anything else but me.
I'm happily married. I'm also loved by many people. I don't need this one.
I really don't want to see my future for fear of seeing my inevitable failures.

Green wins. I take flight.
