NASA’s next Spacecraft, but with a female crew, if possible. Be forced to give up your religion or your sexual orientation? ---

Religion. That one’s an actual choice. Watch only half the tv series you want to see or watch as many as you want on the condition that you miss all series finales and never get to learn what happened? ---

As many series as I want. Finales are overrated. Would you rather live in the one city (of your choice) for the rest of life, OR move to a new city every year, and never go back to a previous one? ---

My father was Military so we moved every two years, yearly would be fun~~~ ~Would you rather swim (any style) a mile or run a mile? ---

I like both, but I’ll pick run. Sweet snacks or salty snacks? ---

Sweet, definitely sweet. Give up drinking coffee or soda for a year? ---

Soda. I often like a good cuppa Joe, and sometimes go a long time without drinking soda (these days just the occasional root beer float, really). Endure elevator music or theater ads before movies? ---

Theatre ads run for two minutes. Elevator music runs forever! Have to hear “It’s A Small World” constantly but owning the rights to the song, or have to constantly watch the movie Human Centipede, but own the rights to the movie. ---

I’ve read the synopsis to Human Centipede. Give me It’s a Small World. Perfect pitch hearing or superhuman sense of smell? ---

I’ve got perfect pitch and can’t say my life is any better for it so I’m willing to give super smell a chance (although I’m dubious about the enrichment potential here too) Rather live your life in the Star Wars universe or Star Trek universe? ---

If I don’t have to be a redshirt, _Star Trek_, definitely. An interstellar democratic utopia with cool ships? Sign, er, beam me up. Be a first-term Member of Congress or a leader of your state House of Representatives (or equivalent)? ---

I think those Star Wars races know how to party. Earn $200,000 per year in a reasonably tolerable job or get paid $75,000 to pursue any interest you like that does not include earning additional money? ---

A two fer! 1. Leader in my state house 2. $200,000 a year. Would you or would you not take a shot that has a 50% chance of killing you OR a 50% chance of giving you the superpower of your choice? ---

50% chance of death? No way. Coke or Pepsi? ---

Neither, but if I _had_ to choose (and not drink) one, I guess Coke. Washington or Lincoln? ---

That’s a tough one. Washington, because the early Union likely would not have survived without him. Pay for your favorite band’s studio album or get paid the same amount to take the concert version instead (you can never own the studio version)? ---

Studio. Concert version would have that audience noise. Power to issue presidential executive orders at will, or be the deciding SCOTUS justice in every future SCOTUS case (we’ll say that from now on, every SCOTUS case will be decided 5-4 and you’re that decisive vote?) ---

I wouldn’t want that kind of executive power and responsibility on my shoulders alone. At least with SCOTUS I’d have four other smart people in it with me. You have ten miles to travel. Hitchhike or walk? ---

Walk. I’ve never hitchhiked and don’t intend to start now. Kirk or Picard? ---

Original series over Next Generation, but Picard over Kirk. Watch _Kingdom of the Crystal Skull_ twice in a row, or an episode of _The Teletubbies_.
