...or you could only shout?


Only whisper or only shout?
Or to rephrase that in text speak; would you rather you could only whisper, or YOU COULD ONLY SHOUT?

Neither would be ideal but if you had to go for one which one would it be?

And if you're one of those unfortunate people who already has one of those loud shouty voices, then for the purposes of the 'Would You Rather?' imagine that you had a normal voice like everyone else.

... or that you could never enjoy the taste of nice food ever again?


Laughter or the taste of nice food?
If you go for the 'never taste nice food again' option, then you can still taste dangerous stuff, so you wouldn't have to worry about accidentally eating or drinking something which was poisonous, but you would no longer be able to experience all of the delicious tastes which you currently enjoy.  All the nice stuff which you like eating would from now on taste bland and tasteless.

If you go for the 'never laugh again' option then don't worry, you wouldn't suddenly become depressed or miserable.  You just wouldn't understand the concept of humour any longer.  You could still be happy and contented, but you wouldn't find things funny.  In fact you wouldn't find things even slightly amusing.

Both options would be a total gutter because obviously laughing and eating lush food are both brilliant things, but if you had to do without one or the other, then which one would you give up?  No more laughter or no more pleasant tastes?

...but not make a single penny from it, or invent a new flavour of bubble gum which makes you a millionaire?


Limitless green energy or popular new bubble gum flavour?
And just to clarify, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with bubble gum.  I used to really like bubble gum when I was younger.  The reason I chose 'inventing a new flavour of bubble gum' as the second option was because obviously compared to inventing a limitless green energy supply, bubble gum wouldn't really have quite as much benefit for mankind.

So which option would you go for?  Who would you rather be?  The rich bubble gum inventor, or the financially unrewarded inventor of a futuristic limitless green energy supply which has massive benefits for mankind?

08:17

...or that you could never read a book or magazine ever again?


Music or books?
 Two brilliant things but which one would you get rid
of if you had to do without one or the other?
If you went for the first option then you could still hear everything else like conversations and general noises, but you couldn't hear songs or music.

If you went for the second option then you could still read signs and menus and basic stuff like that, but you could never read another book or magazine ever again.

Music and reading are both totally excellent, but the scenario is that you have to get rid of one of them, so which option would you go for?

And remember, you're voting for the option that you'd get rid of.

...or you let out a loud smelly fart every time you told a lie?


Big nose or smelly farts?
Obviously neither option would be ideal, but if you had to go for one of them, which one would it be?

Just to clarify, if you go for the 'nose growing option' then it wouldn't be a permanent change.  After a minute or so, your nose would return to its normal size.  However, if you told a few lies straight after each other then your nose would grow each time you told a lie, before then returning to its normal size a minute or so after you finally stopped telling lies.

Obviously for some people like myself this scenario is irrelevant because of course I never tell lies, but for everyone else, which option would you go for?

World peace, or ten luxury items for yourself of your choosing?


World peace or ten luxury items?
For example you could choose your own private jet, a luxury mansion, a top of the range Ferrari, the world's biggest yacht, a cuddly toy or even the latest cool mobile phone of the moment if that was what you fancied.  Or indeed anything else you fancied up to ten luxury items.

Or alternatively, you could choose world peace, and war and confict would become a thing of the past...

Which option would you go for?  World peace or ten luxury items of your choosing?

...or live in the Star Wars universe?


Star Wars universe or a world where Santa Claus was real?
If you go for the Santa Claus option then everything about the Santa mythology becomes real and everyone in the world gets a load of free presents every Christmas (as long as you haven't been naughty!).

If you go for the Star Wars option then all of the technology and species of Star Wars become real and you get to live in a world with wookies, droids and the Millinium Falcon.

And obviously if you choose to live in the Star Wars universe then you get to live in a time when the galaxy wasn't ruled by the Emperor, as obviously that would be a bit rubbish.  You basically get all of the cool gadgets and creatures and stuff, but none of the drawbacks such as stormtroopers and Darth Vader doing his force choke on people.

Which option would you go for?

09:59

...or go without sleep for 48 hours?


Food or sleep?
Just to clarify, if you go for the 'go without food' option you're still allowed to drink water (as water isn't a food), but you can't have any drinks with calories or nutrients in them such as fizzy pop or soup, as that would be sort of cheating.

So those are the two options.  Go for forty eight hours without food or forty eight hours without sleep.  Which option would you go for?

13:29
Musical integrity or riches?

...making £5 million per year but producing music you didn't enjoy, or in a critically acclaimed serious band making £50,000 per year producing music you were proud of?


And just to clarify, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being in a boy band or girl band.  For example, I would extremely like to be in Girls Aloud if it meant I got to hang out with Cheryl Cole and Nicola Roberts all the time.

But for the purposes of the 'Would You Rather?' if you were in a boy band / girl band, you wouldn't enjoy the music you made.  That's the dilemma.

Would you choose riches over musical artistic integrity?

11:14

...or when you die?


This is another 'Would You Rather?' which the characters discuss in the 'How To Save The World' books.*

* Specifically, in 'How To Save The World: Part 2B - By Whatever Means Necessary'.

Given the circumstances that the main character, Eric, finds himself in, you could say it was quite a tactless choice of conversation for Kesta (Eric's mate) to bring this dilemma up, but anyway those are the two choices.

Would you rather find out how you die or when you die?
