Would you still “Jump”?
Jumping; I came across this concept when I watched the movie called “Jumper”. In simpler words, jumping has always been known as teleporting, a really remarkable ability to have. Teleportation is defined in Wikipedia as:
“Teleportation is the movement of objects from one place to another, more or less instantaneously, without traveling through space.”
What if we could actually teleport? What if we can be in one place one second and another place in the other? But what if this ability comes with a price that makes this ability almost useless? Would we still use this power if it came with any of the following back draws?:
- You can jump(teleport), but only to a place in between a crowd of people and your clothes have to stay behind.
- You can jump, but everytime you do, your penis grows 2 centimeters shorter.
- You can jump, but only along with transformation into another form; be it an animal or be it a pile of dung.
- You can jump, but with the loss of voluntary control over yourself for the next five minutes which probably would lead to incontinence of urine and feces.
- You can jump, but first you have to find someone else with the same ability who is willing to exchange places with you.
- You can jump, but everytime you do, you age 5 years.
- You can jump, but first you have to count from 1 to 100,000 in one go.
- You can jump, but with the price of an exponential increase in your body hair.
- You can jump, but you have the choice of either a raft at sea, the north pole or an underground coal mine.
- You can jump, but you cannot come back.

I’lll suggest you put the bullets in numbered points so we can answer which condition would we jump in and in which we wont.

and how do u plan to find someone with same ability willing to come to pakistan in your place? (provided your not lucky enough to find someone from here in the first place)

well there is tanwiri, he desperately needs to come back home. We can switch, then switch again when we have to come back. You can find people who would want to come, that is not that big a deal. How long does “jumping” takes anyway.

dude, jumping isnt like walking.everyone cant do that. and tanwiri certainly cant do that since hes still sitting there wanting to come back. 1 in 10 to the exponent 20 is capable of this.

wrathchild - May 2, 2008 at 1:00 am

jumper sucked. samuel l jackson sucked. and Jumping doesn’t exist now does it.
And i would do it with the first condition and i would want an explanation of the last condition. when you say i can’t come back.. u mean i can’t ‘jump’ back or i can’t come back to that place like ever ??

God damn! We will have to take away Sam’s jumping ability. Dude, no one whats to have a fat naked guy suddenly appearing as they wade the cramped streets to their destinations. Stop being so comfortable with you nakedness!
wrathchild - May 2, 2008 at 11:50 am
yes sam, wrathchild is right. dont make me edit my post.
and the last point means that you cant jump anywhere again. just once
