If you met a Mad Scientist and became friends, what would you ask her to invent for you?

A time machine was my first thought. There would be endless great ideas you and your Mad Scientist friend could work on. How about traveling in space, or deep under the ocean? Figure out the age old quest of turning ordinary metal (lead) into gold. They call that alchemy. Or you could learn how to fly with wings made for people or some kind of jet backpack, not so different from those in cartoons.

So many great ideas. How about putting together your own specialized super computer. A computer that hooks up directly to the Internet and has a connection the speed of lightening. You could play online games with your friends, get all the information you need for your homework and projects in just minutes.

Of course, you and the Mad Scientist could just build your own robot. Give your robot human features, skin and etc. and send him or her out to do all the boring stuff like walking the dog, cleaning the yard and going to school with all your friends. Or, maybe not. Would you really want to miss your friends at school, jumping in the pile of leaves when you clean the yard or spending time running around with your dog? Some things are work and fun at the same time.

I'd still like to try that time machine. First, I'd have to decide whether I want to go backwards or forwards into time. I guess, with our own time machine I could do both, take as many trips as I wanted.

So, where to you meet a Mad Scientist these days?
