Have you ever traveled to an “unfriendly” country? Use your own judgement to decide which countries fit that category, but I’m generally thinking of places like Cuba, Iran, Russia, etc. If you’re not American you can define it based on the country’s relationship with your own country’s government. ETA: And let’s say if you were born in such a country and immigrated somewhere else, and have never been back, that doesn’t count. But if you were, for example, born in Iran, immigrated to the US, and later traveled back to Iran to visit your grandparents, that counts. _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/5736))_ ---

You are a juror. The crime is decades ago. (Could be murder, robbery, arson, assault - any crime.) The sole evidence is witness testimony; there is nothing else to go by. The prosecution produces many experts who show scientifically how accurate memories can be even decades later - such as how most people can remember exactly where they were and what they were doing on 9/11 - and cites many examples of witnesses with impeccable memories. The defense then produces just as many experts who show scientifically how unreliable witness memories can be after the passage of time and cites just as many examples of how many witnesses were certain of things that were later factually proven wrong.

You dust off an old Mattel catalogue you picked up at a garage sale, and a genie appears. He offers to grant you He-Man’s muscular physique. No special effort will be required on your part to maintain it; you can continue to eat and exercise to the extent you normally do. The only catch is that the physique comes with He-Man’s trademark pageboy hairdo, and you must keep this particular hairstyle in place for the rest of your life.
