Found this on the net, thought it would be fun to post it here!   Translation: Yellow - gives you the ability to read the thoughts of any person within 100 meters from you. You can use it 5 times a day, it works 30 minutes. Green - gives you the ability of flying (100 km/h). You can use it 3 times a day, it works for an hour. Blue - you immediately become the best in the world in any sport competition. You can use it only once. After the consumption you will live for 10 years at most. Orange - gives you the ability to evoke the effect of any drug (narcotic) on yourself. Does not make you addicted and does not harm your health. Usage: 4 pills a day, each one works for 45 minutes. Red - gives you the ability to connect to the internet with your brain. You can use it 6 times a day. It works for 1 hour. Pink - gives you the ability to take shape of any animal or human. You can use it twice a day for a 2 hours long effect. Grey - gives you the ability to make somebody love you with a simple touch. You can use it 10 times in your life. You can remove the effect. Black - lets you foresee the future 5 years ahead. You may use it only once. OK, let's see how it goes! ------------- "Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent."

I'd pick the orange, I guess it would be nice to have ^^ I think the yellow one is useless, I don't want to know what others are thinking, mostly it is better if others don't know what I think so I guess it works the other way around as well.

I thought the color choice would be interpreted as your preference in music, e.g. Pink = Floyd, Red = KC, Black = Sabbath, Green = Day; Orange = Tangerine Dream, Blue = Kind of .. I picked red, and I am glad I didn't pick yellow .. it's hard enough to live with what I think about myself, never mind all those creeps within 100 meters.

This question is a trap. Green - Flying that fast is incredibly dangerous, even in a movie like Chronicle where they flew at more modest speeds, there was tons of trouble with airplanes and lightening, one even died. This power is a quick path to death Blue - The weakest of all powers, might bring you some fame in sports (even though is being the best at any sport even close to flying?) Then you end up dying 10 years later so you can avoid the inevitable depression that follows from realizing you lived through your prime already and there's nothing left to accomplish and the best you can hope for is becoming a host on espn getting fat and yelling about sports stuff Orange - This seems great, but unlimited drugs without aftereffects would be almost too perfect, so much so that you will be sapped of any motivation, too content to do anything but stay home and pop pills, until you lie on your deathbed realizing you have achieved nothing in your life. Red - Obviously, connecting to the internet is dangerous as hell, you will download malware, become bombarded with mental popups and get in a car accident, or your brain will blue screen. The wealth of information available isn't really that valuable, you can be a dictionary of trivial information but you can never learn a skill from reading or watching without doing and that is why the internet won't make you a master of anything Pink - Once you realize that looking like any other person (or animal) is more attractive and desirable than being yourself, why would you even bother being you anymore? Grey - Forcing someone to love you is not real love. Once you realize this you will remove the curse from your partner, sure that they will love you for who you really are, not because of the spell. When they don't you will put the spell back on them. You will repeat this cycle until you run out of the ability and will remain unloved and broken. (p.s. this is how VOLDEMORT was created guys) Black - if your fate cannot be changed, you will go crazy knowing what happens to you in the furture, if it can, you will create a paradox and rip apart the universe ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ramza1316" rel="nofollow - www.last.fm/user/ramza1316 https://open.spotify.com/user/1211221845" rel="nofollow - https://open.spotify.com/user/1211221845 |

Yellow - gives you the ability to read the thoughts of any person within 100 meters from you. You can use it 5 times a day, it works 30 minutes. Surely interesting if I should walk around Princeton's Theoretical Physics department, MIT, NASA and things like that. Right now however, I really doubt that the thoughts of any person within 100 mts from me are of any interest to me (with all my respect for those people). Unless of course, some pretty neighbour woman is thinking that she would like to have me in her bed, which I seriously doubt is the case. Green - gives you the ability of flying (100 km/h). You can use it 3 times a day, it works for an hour. Useful in traffic jams and I love to see things from above, but too limited usefulness. Blue - you immediately become the best in the world in any sport competition. You can use it only once. After the consumption you will live for 10 years at most. Not bad, I might choose being the best driver at Formula One or the best rider at MotoGP bike racing. Exciting and profitable enough, and 10 years of the enjoyment and wealth seems enough, I could be ready to die after that. Orange - gives you the ability to evoke the effect of any drug (narcotic) on yourself. Does not make you addicted and does not harm your health. Usage: 4 pills a day, each one works for 45 minutes. All the drugs I tried are affordable enough that I can afford them in the doses I consider sustainable, so not really a very attractive offer. I don't think I want to try harder and more expensive drugs, even if they would not harm my health, so no thanks. Red - gives you the ability to connect to the internet with your brain. You can use it 6 times a day. It works for 1 hour. No thanks, I have more than enough. Having to type is not that terrible. Pink - gives you the ability to take shape of any animal or human. You can use it twice a day for a 2 hours long effect. I'm rather ugly but I don't know why would I want to look like some animal or other human (although sometimes I would like to be a dog owned by a caring owner, what a life!!!) .Grey - gives you the ability to make somebody love you with a simple touch. You can use it 10 times in your life. You can remove the effect. Can't complain, enough people love me and care for me, more than I deserve and frequently I already think that I have trouble returning their love back as they should deserve. Nah.
Black - lets you foresee the future 5 years ahead. You may use it only once. The worst of all, no way. So, perhaps reading other people's mind is not really the same as learning what they know, but it is the closest among the choices given to something which can increase my knowledge. So it would be either this (yellow) or being the best driver / rider for ten years (blue), enjoy life during that period and die afterwards (preferably in a quick and painless way). |

I can imagine how the yellow and grey pills could be totally misused, but they'd be amongst the few attrative pills from the list, though I wouldn't need them at all Green pill is cool, but personally, I'd prefer teleportation some 10 times per day... what a gain of time (the most precious commodity of all) ... Ultimately the black pill might be the most interesting... I'd round up all the winning lottery combinatiions and play the numbers when nobody won. Because it tilme is the most precious commodity, you can only lose it... but you can win money and have enough money not to xaste your time working for a living  |
