If you could be...
Anyone or anything for a day, who or what would you be?

I was listening to a radio show earlier (yes I was bored), and they were asking this exact question to their listeners. There were some pretty interesting answers haha.

So...If you could be anyone or anything for a day, who or what would you be? If you’d like, tell us why!

It’s fine to say yourself…I’m just curious after listening to some of those pretty interesting answers. :p

I’m looking forward to reading your replies…I’ll be back later after watching the rest of the Leafs game (We’re down 3-2 btw). GO LEAFS GO!

Hmmm, I would be a bird. I would love to be able to soar through the skies towards the shining sun. ^-^

SAME! Well I don't want to fly towards the sun :S I want to be a creation of Learnado Da Vinci's flying man in a parallel alternate universe where society was allowed to fully progress after the renaissance in another direction(long story, I've been watching too much fringe).

Hence in essence be able to randomly fly at upto high supersonic speeds to random places & countries on earth. As a part time geography geek with loads of unnessecary knowledge and fascination for countries/cultures of the world It would be super awesome to randomly visit random cities in random countries at my discretion. This can be done with enough money with a private jet but a more personal experience is much more different!

Though I'm sort of sure this will be a reality in three decades at most. We do have clunky ineffective jetpacks right now but they will probably get better: Who knows?

I'd love to live the life of a professional hockey player, even though it would only be for 1 day.

Haha, nice thread Kev.

It’s an easy choice for me. The Chocolate Man from the Axe commercial!

I know its kind of shallow, but I would want to be someone famous. I think it would be cool to be followed by paparazzi for a day

Or I would want to be someone rich. I could buy so many clothes if I were rich!

The best cardiac, or thoracic or neurosurgeon for a day and do all the most important surgeries pro-bono.
Or a president so that I could legally declare the end of a war.
Or a billionaire on their deathbed so that I could rewrite the will and allot the money to children's hospitals and cardiac/thoracic surgery and cancer research.
Or the most powerful and influential person in global politics so that I could mandate that the nations I have an impact over pass laws authorizing castration of rapists and pedophiles, accompanied by consecutive life terms.

Wow. Your answers are very honourable. You are obviously a better person than me :p lol
Anyways, I would also love to be either of these things!

I'd also love to be able to be in a position to change the general policies with hospitals that state smokers aren't eligible for lung transplants. With the increased awareness regarding lung cancer and the dangers of smoking, it is only logical that most heavy smokers began smoking at a time where the effects were less emphasized than the Marlboro man.

I'd love to have magic powers so I could filter all the recyclable stuff from garbage dumps everywhere (direct them to recycling plants instead), remove all the harmful emissions from the atmosphere, filter the oceans of toxic waste, etc.

Yes I realize I could use magic to magically cleanse the world of all that is evil but I like to pretend to do things that involve moving physical things. Like moving all cancer cells or physical causes of disease (e.g. H1N1 virus, but that's a boring example) out of the body.

Magic is fun...

You know what.
Who am I kidding. I wish I could be some crazy dictator who has nukes, and I'd launch them.
