I wanted to see what you all could come up with to top these:
Would you rather wake up hung over on Monday morning knowing you must go to a high-profile meeting at work and discover: that someone has shaved all the hair off of your entire body? or used permanent marker to graffiti your entire body?
Would you ratherhave science empirically confirm the existenct of God? or find the cure for cancer?
As a man—Would you rather have your grandmother’s first name? or her haircut?
Would you rather jump into a pool of glass shards? or enthusiastically jump off the springboard into the deep end of an empty 15-foot pool?
Would you rather spend one day with an angel? or an extraterrestrial?

Shaved off all of my hair. I can cover the bald spots with clothes and a hat.

Since I’m an Atheist, I don’t see the former even a possibility. Besides, anyone who wouldn’t choose a cure for cancer is selfish.

Name. Though it’s a bad name.

Glass shards, some people get off to that (not me, just noting!)
Would you rather spend one day with an angel? or an extraterrestrial?
Assuming the extraterrestrial were intelligene, the extraterrestrial all the way.
God, and I disagree with skaterboarder87 that “anyone who wouldn’t choose a cure for cancer is selfish” Since everyone dies, it would be far, far more comforting to know that your dearly departed is in heaven. I am not a religious man, but believe that if there is a God, He is more good than not, so heaven is a distinct possibility.

Hair.

Cancer, definitely.
As a man—Would you rather have your grandmother’s first name? or her haircut?
My paternal grandmother actually had a somewhat masculine haircut. Can I keep my coloring, though?

The glass doesn’t sound that painful in theory.
Would you rather spend one day with an angel? or an extraterrestrial?
The ET.
I’ll try to think of a few after I get some sleep. Maybe.
I don’t want to turn this into a debate, but the OP never mentioned the biblical God, instead alluding to merely the existence of a god. This would not confirm heaven, thus I stand by my original assertion.
Shaved. Personally, I think I’d look hot if I were hairless. Hey, that gives me an idea . . . !
Easy! A cure for cancer! Believe or disbelief in God is and always will be a matter of faith–so even if one could prove or disprove God’s existence, 99% of the world wouldn’t give a rip. On the other hand, no one (except maybe the Christian Scientists ) would question the benefits of a cancer cure.
I couldn’t live with either of my grandmothers’ haircuts. I could, if I had to, live with the name of my maternal grandmother, “Evelyn,” which even today is in use as a man’s name in England. However, I would have to adopt a crusty manner and a British accent to make it work.
I’ll take my chances with the glass shards. (What a horrible question! Shame on you.)
I’d rather meet an angel–and I say this with full knowledge that angels are probably farscarier than ETs. (After all, what’s the first thing that angels say when they appear to mortals? “Fear not!”)
Empty pool. I might only end up with broken bones, which will heal. With glass, I could take out an eye or puncture an organ.
An angel. Far nicer to have their existence confirmed in than aliens. Besides, they can tell me if there are E.T.s, while the E.T.s may not know any more about angels than we do.
Would you rather die a slow, wasting death that you know you have or a quick, unforseen, violent one?

Hair, I can wear a wig and clothes.

Cancer, I already believe in God, I don’t need scientific proof.
As a man—Would you rather have your grandmother’s first name? or her haircut?
I’m a woman

Empty pool. I HATE glass slivers.

An angel. That way I can ask about God. In which case I have proof of God and I’ve cured cancer ! Yay me.
Please, so many more people die of starvation, aids, genocide than die of cancer. For me, choosing “cure cancer” is the selfish choice there. If it was “alliviate all worldly suffering” I would probably still choose proof of god of the two. If it were a sack of rice for everyone or “cure cancer” I would most likely still choose the former.
Hair or Name -
Either, I’m a girlie.
empty pool -
Broken bones beats sliced and dices, you never said head first.
ET -
If there are angels I will (touch wood) meet them when the time comes, my extraterrestrials I want right now!
I choose to loose all my hair. I already have very short hair(I am in ROTC) and being bald wouldn’t be a big change. Although my eybrows would look funny.
Cure for Cancer, I already believe in God, and a real scientific proof wouldn’t change that many people’s minds about the God anyways.
My maternal Grandmother’s Haircut, as it is pretty short and somewhat masculine looking. Her name is both long and fememine.
I will go with the empty pool. Worst case I get a broken leg or ankle if that. I have already jumped off 12 ft high rooftops, with nothing but sore ankles.
I will talk with the angel, which would of course answer the God question too, as well as clear up a couple finer points about my religious beliefs, and the angel could tell me about ET activity around the solar system, if it is occuring. Besides, the ET would probably try to probe me.
) would question the benefits of a cancer cure.
