That's a tough one, I'd probably ask it how to build a time machine so I can go back and forth in time and prevent some really bad things from happenin...I dunno though

time machines freak me out (too many things can go wrong) so I wouldn't ask how to build that. You know, to tell you the truth, I don't think that I would ask it anything. The questions I'd ask it are better left unknown, or they would be more rewarding if I worked hard to find the answers myself...

Yeah, i agree about the time machine. The was a special Blackadder made for the Millenium Dome and it involved him killing Robin Hood, putting Shakespeare off writing, killin wellington befor bow and thouroghly messing up time.

i'm bad at making decisions at the best of times. I think if i could only read it one time.. the pressure of the decision would probably make my head explode

It might be dangerous for some people to use it, since they'd ask it like how to build a bomb or something...

Could also be dangerous for philosophers and theologins... I mean, what if someone asked it for the meaning of life?

I would ask it which religion is right. I mean, everyone thinks theirs is right, so how do we know which one is really right?

If I didn't ask it that I would ask it why we have 5 fingers on each hand.
