Seriously!?
Let me just make a few changes to the title....

If I could have three wish(es) it would be.......

1. Be better at chess
2. Have more computes crunching SETI (looks like I'm gonna be building a Q9450 or a hexa-core Nehalem, not a 8 core super-machine)
3. World Peace ;)

...for once I'd like to have legs just for a long enough period to experience running at full speed.

I've seen these running legs at the paraplegics Blurf. They also used them at "The Lord of The Rings - The Musical" with fully legged men, playing the part of Orcs, who were doing some amazing acrobatics with them.

Nice pic Ice...thx! Yes I know several people who have them. Unfortunately my back has adopted a posture that I can't get straight enough to use them. My hips also don't like the lack of balance.

I prefer running people over :)
