yeah, i think this is the best make-a-wish idea i've heard (except, maybe, the 15-year-old who asked for a bunch of hooters girls to bring him lunch)

That was kind of weird! I mean, hundreds of people indulging his fantasy, you dont think he actually believed what was happening was REAL? Do you think that day will go down in his mind as "the day I saved the world from eveil supervillians"? What purpose does that serve? Just my opinion.

Enjoimx, if I had to guess based on your thinking (What purpose does that serve), I would say you voted for The One. Thanks Bookworm for making my day a little bit brighter.
