I would want to be artisticly gifted. Even if I didn't sell anything until after I died.

I'd pick intellectually gifted.

I'd go with physically gifted, myself. I work at it nearly every day, and I do

alright, but it would be nice to just have it. 'Specially if I could keep it into

old age!

For me physically gifted. By that I mean genetics as well, as abilities. :cool:

I work with AZLHEIMER'S patients, and their families. If we have learned nothing else about this awful disease physical health plays a huge part.

ALZHEIMER'S disease knows no boundries. It will strike the intelligent, rich, poor, young, or old. It doesn't care what your ethnic background is. It will take your mind, and body in an angonizing decent into darkness. :-1

Having great genes, and good phisically health through out your life just might put on the non-receiving side of this disease.. :( It's no guarantee, but it is a plus. Keeping your body healthy, also keeps your BRAIN HEALTHY.. "MAINTAING YOUR BRAIN" IS THE NAME OF THE GAME, IT STARTS WITH YOUR BODIES HEALTH.. ;)
ALOHA!!

WOO HOO!!, what a ride!!!"

Intellegence, I love knowledge of all things and definately am no expert. But just find learning facinating.

I am not physical enough nor care about that part

Artistically I can do a wicked stick man drawing ahahahaha my mom and brother are the artists in my family circle so I will go for brains.

hey Der Wulf...that guy may appeal to some, but so-called perfection is unlikely and even off-putting, especially since i am not perfect, who needs some guy hogging the mirror and posing? .......my man is quite attractive, and that is important, but even that is subjective. what captured my attention and held it was brilliance. complete utter brilliance and humor, he makes me laugh until i cry, and unabashed romance , and love. there is nothing more attractive than someone who loves us and makes us feel wonderful about ourselves. who , when we look into their eyes see a reflection of ourselves that we can love. the person who really loves you is all about making you feel good about yourself and healing whatever crap you have suffered, who has your happiness at heart. i have learned this...albiet late, but not too late. (P.S. i know you knew this, but you like to pretend you are a lecher :p )

Whazzat? Is there something I am missing? Is there something that has escaped my attention? What are you saying Der Wulfe? Are you a lecher poser? Dang! If that don't beat all. And all this time?

If you could pick to be, physicly gifted; great at sports, learn anything physical in a day and master it in two, artisticly gifted, or intellectually gifted; ie. Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking brilliant... which would you pick?

For myself I would go with physicly gifted, but I'm a sports nut so the physical thing may not be as important to some people...

Which would you be?Top physical form would be my choice. I think I do OK in the brains area but I could definitely use some help with this dilapidated body of mine!! :D BTW I really like your signature quote.

I used to have a six pack, but now it's a twelve pack.

For me this question is a no brainer. Or should I say Big Brainer?

I wish to be as intelligent as possible. I'd like to use all 1005 of my brain. Know all that is knowable, learn all that is learnable. Become a professional college student / professor. (Actually, with 11 years of college, I'm almost there now.)

My IQ is 157, but I really wish it was 200+. I've read all of Hawking's books, BTW. Interesting stuff. I highly recommend "A Brief History of Time."

I agree with you, I'd love to have a gift for languages instead of relying on foreigners being able to speak english (mind you, it would help if British schools could find a way of teaching languages in a clear and useful manner)

I am artistic, so that would be moot. I try to be physically active because it feels good, not so concerned with the rippley muscles. But, OH to be intelligent!! Now that would be the cats meow!

The gift of psychic awareness. Fascinating stuff. It is thought we all have this capability but don't know how to use it.

The gift of psychic awareness, something I would like, then maybe I wouldn't be making such a balls of things at the moment.

Then on the down side, I may be feeling worse by actually feeling the worlds sorrows, imagine the weight of that :(

I'm actually happy being me. :-6

Oh I know what you are saying, just don't assume that intelligence=respect, it equals a whole load of things and respect is something earned.

I was just commenting after a bad week, where intelligence caused a whole heap of nasty trouble, respect was missing in that.

I'd have to go with artistically gifted. To be able to paint or design and have those things remain and be admired for centuries after my death would be very rewarding and fulfilling.
