I'll start off:

1. Learn how to fix every household object I own (computers, appliances, car, etc) so that when something breaks, the most I have to pay is the part costs, and in the event that something needs to be replaced, no installation fees.

2. Have sex on the Great Wall of China. Got this from a thread awhile back. Apparently the Chinese do it fairly frequently. I don't know why, with whom, or when, but I'm definitely going to do it. :D

3. Fly a Jet fighter. I don't care if it's an F-22, an F-14, or some ancient Soviet-Era MIG. I'm going to fly one. I also read an article on engadget awhile back about some guy out in Illinois who owns 6 old Soviet MIGs. Apparently they require insanely lower maintenance than American fighters, so assuming I get rich enough (not to mention the cost of the planes will go down as the decades pass), owning a Mig is definitely achievable.

4. Visit Antarctica. Penguins are BAMFs.

5. I know this isn't exactly obscure, but at some point I'm going to go into space. I don't care if it's in orbit, to the moon or Mars. So long as I'm above the Thermosphere, I don't care. Once again, I'll need to become insanely rich and pay off someone, as I don't feel like joining the Astronaut Corps just yet.

Get a stand-up barrel in crystal clear water.

I have the barrel part down, but the water was like mud.

Go cage diving with Great Whites, and doing the mail armor diving with the Carribean Reef sharks, letting them bite you when you feed them and stuff.

Have sex while hang-gliding.

Actually, I'll settle for just hang-gliding at this point, until I'm more experienced.

Hmm...

1. Breed a sativa-heavy strain of cannabis and name it Cannabis canai, even though it wouldn't be a new species. That would be the name, or maybe Canai's cannabis...

2. Spend a summer working on a small farm in a random, non-Enlgish speaking country in Europe

3. Have a shaman cleanse me with Ayahuasca, and have traditional wards and proof of my cleansing tattooed on me. Not on one of those paid trips either. I want to spend a few months living there.

4. Not be a corporate monkey.

5. Leave a mark on the world anonymously.

1. Go Whaling.

2. Live in the Arctic for a 2 weeks or more. Hunt and fish. Play LAN games with the guys while it's below zero.

3. Create a strangelet and just let it wander off. Probably will never happen as I don't want to be a nuclear engineer/scientist.

4. Learn to shoot and what not.



Hmmm...

Own a underground missle silo, (from a thread around here atm...) only costs 2 million dollars for a 45,000 sq foot underground missile silo!

My other goal-

by the time i die, the government will allow competition for ISPs, not this junk internet access we have now... ppl like verizon saying 768 kbps HIGH-SPEED, even comcast saying 6mbps isn't even fast compared to japan, they have 100mbps connections! why? because we don't allow competio n for ISPs... life goal

Ive always wanted to be able to avoid getting hit by a car by jumping up, running across the top, and jumping back down. I'm just not sure how to practice without getting killed.

Well in terms of things that are actually likely to happen, I would say exploring an abandoned nuclear plant is one (not hard at all, there are dozens that were never finished and are now rotting away). I would also like to be inside an actually operating nuclear plant, but thats somewhat less likely since security is absurd and you need a darn good reason to be there :(. Another goal would be to successfully explore the STEAM tunnels here at Vanderbilt, I'm gonna try after I graduate 'cause then they can't kick me out for it :p, tried before, but there are alarms and locks everywhere. Also want to get to the roof of MRB IV which is a 14 story building here at Vanderbilt, its the tallest building currently and is still under construction.

Basically alot of urban exploration stuff I guess, thats what I'm into. Obviously all of them would be way cooler if I changed them to stuff like "having sex in an abandoned nuclear plant" or "having sex in the steam tunnels", but first I need to get a chick thats into that sorta stuff :p. Actually first I need to get ANY chick, then worry about that other stuff :(.

For sure going to experience zero-G in my lifetime. Preffered route would be a brief trip to space, but I'll settle for the vomit-comet if I start getting older and that prospect looks bleaker.
