The money was stolen and perfect_pitch spends 20 years in jail."

I think spending 20 years in jail and being used as a pillowcase to an angry cell mate contradicts the no-side effects rule.    ;D

* Lostinidlewonder clicks his fingers beckoning the evil genie to service.

"What do you want puny mortal?"

*Lostinidlewonder strikes a pose and points an accusing finger at the genie.

Stupid genie you cannot trick me! I wish that you tell me with your own voice in a way that I can clearly understand, next weeks lotto numbers for the largest money value jackpot on earth."

*The genie is angry but starts to recite the numbers. Lostinidlewonder is happy that he has the numbers and will be extremely rich and most importantly tricked the genie. The genie vanishes. Google finds Liiw the information he needs for the largest lotto draw next week. Liiw's heart starts to fall when he realizes that the lotto draw is for a 80 billion dollar draw held by the Nigerian Prince Commission. Liiw shakes his puny fists at the genie.

*The genie grasps hold of perfect_pitch. A surge of crackling power flows from the genie's hands into perfect_pitch's skull sending him into electrical convulsions. perfect_pitch finds he cannot move any of his limbs. He materializes into a chair, one just like Steven Hawkings. perfect_pitch starts to learn to type with his eyes and debates Hawkings about the universe.

"If this makes you happy so be it!"

*The genie waves his hand granting the wish. perfect_pitch suddenly ages to 121 years old, his frail hips shatters into tiny pieces as the 30 year old Gorrila twins from the local zoo ravage his feeble body.


I wish to know what kills genies.

*The genie proclaims he is a spirit genie so cannot be killed unless his creator commands it. The genie demonstrates his immortality by summoning a meteor from space to strike him. Unfortunately the blast kills j_menz and millions of others.

I wish I was globally popular and revered... AND I DO NOT WANT TO BE THE POPE!!!

*The genie grants your wish. perfect_pitch becomes loved throughout the entire world, girls swoon over him and guys want to be like him. perfect_pitch vanishes and reappears facing an immense roaring and cheering crowd. This parade is in perfect_pitch's honor who sits on a jeweled throne atop a float made from pure gold and carried on the back of his loyal followers. He waves at his fans who throw flowers and confetti as offerings towards him. But in the crowd lurks a deranged maniac and the voices tell him to go down in history by murdering the worlds most loved man. He rushes out towards the float and KABOOOOM!.... Little remains of perfect_pitch except a single puny, bloody fist which no doubt was shaking at the evil genie moments before it detached from his body.

I wish for humble mortal j_menz to be rehabilitated in the eyes of the Mighty Genie. The name "past subjunctive" as found in dictionaries refers to the FORM of the verb, not to its meaning. Actually, it is usually NOT used to refer to past time. Examples:

If I were you (NOW), I would...
I wish I were rich (NOW)... etc.

My magic is the only power than can sustain you for one million years and you know this, no puny mortal device can offer you this. However!!

You are forever trapped deep within the earth, but it is ok, you will enjoy it being sustained by my glorious magic."
