Fame, fortune and persistent media attention AND Career Crash. Because Career crash doesn't necessarily mean that it was my fault, or, that I won't have a couple of billion dollars to console myself for my failed career AFTER it crashes.
Since I didn't seem to make it clear. I repost my previous question in another manner.
Would you prefer drowning, the entire process from consciousness to death, or being burnt at the stake?
I really am interested in this answer guys. Its good for writing.

Drowning. There's at least a chance that if I'm drowning I could be dying trying to save someone's life (which is a goal of mine). If I'm burnt at the stake all I can possibly do is provide an example of something you shouldn't do to a human being.
Would you rather: Die young, doing something worthwhile (like saving children from a burning building, or diving on a grenade to save your comrades) or Die old, in your bed, surrounded by family?

Strangely, either option is actually okay with me - if I am to die early, I'd like to think that I made a difference to someone's life, and if I am to die old, there is probably nothing better than having those that you truly love and care about surrounding you.
Of course, I have to pick, and as I have two young children, I pick the die old because I wouldn't want to die early and leave them with the loss of a father so early in their lives.
Going with this thread ... You have your partner and your only child (arbitrarily aged 6) in the car with you. Your child is babbling excitedly about something that has been going on in School, making both you and your partner laugh and smile. The next moment, you suddenly find the car upsidedown and on fire because some other bastard cut you off and caused you to crash. Your partner and child are both unconscious, and you know you only have moments before the fire rips through the space that you all are in. If you only had time to save one of the two most important people in your life, would you rather save your partner ... or your child?

Save my partner. It's an ugly choice, but if I lost her, I would be grieving alone, and only be half the father to my child without her love and influence.
Better to have loved and lost, or to have never loved at all?

I choose: Loved and lost.
The reason you, I, and everyone else on this planet have the lunacy of sentient awareness, rests in a heavy responsibility: We are here To Learn and to Love.
This is the meaning of our existence: To Learn and To Love.
The very act of loving and forthwith secession of love , embraces both these hard to determine truths. To not bear the burden of "loving and learning" so heavily imposed by our very humanity, is to degenerate into mere existence.
I verily on to you ask:
Window ... or aisle? ;D

Aisle ... an easy one to answer for one who has flown 120k miles in a year. Window seats are great for first fliers who ooh and aah at the various shades of ocean/land/desert that you fly over, but there is nothing worse than having to clamber over other passengers just to go to the bathroom on a 12 hour flight. One single 30" 4k monitor - or three 24" HD monitors? (Talking Desktop and primarily for gaming)

I'll go with 3hd, because I haven't seen (no pun intended) what 4k monitors can do.
Scooby Doo or Tom & Jerry?

Tom and Jerry. 3 wannabe detectives, a stoner, and a talking dog in a hippie van just irritates me.
1 torp left in a battle you're losing, or unlimited torps with no targets to use them on?

Unlimited torps and no targets. I can always hunt other targets later. If the battle is lost and I'm dead that would be a problem.
You've been caught spying (red handed so you can't plead innocence.) You are given a choice: death by firing squad or, you can opt for what ever lies behind the black door at the end of the corridor. Which do you choose?

Firing squad, better quick in my opinion. Sure, there could always be a pardon or something behind the other door, but torture could be there too!
A Saturday stuck at the office with perfect weather, or a Saturday free from work but the weather is horrendous?

An aisle seat please, and whatever is behind Black Door #1.

As horrendous weather is ambiguous I'd rather have it off and make the most of the day. Rain doesn't scare me, snow is for sledging You've been on a really good night out. You wake up in a cold metal room with some motor churning. Some bloke enters, give you a rucksack which you realise is a parachute. Would you rather land in mainland Europe (france/germany) or south America (chilie/brazil)?

I'll take Europe for 100, Alex.
All the money in the world but nobody to share it with, or living paycheck to paycheck but with good friends you can count on?

The greatest friends in the world. They are worth more than money You and your team of....... specialists have been selected to do one of either missions. Journey to Mars or journey to the bottom of the ocean.

The greatest friends in the world. They are worth more than money : You and your team of....... specialists have been selected to do one of either missions. Journey to Mars or journey to the bottom of the ocean. Mars question: Well unless I'm a geologist or something like that, I don't see myself doing a lot on mars. Nevertheless, Mars would be my option for two things. 1. if we're the 1st, historical importance. One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. 2. Dude ... its SPACE TRAVEL. I can hop in a damn submarine any day, but space travel to MARS? Bring it on, danger and all. Would you want to spend your life with a partner that is physically repulsive but beautiful in the most perfect soul way possible or find someone that is beautiful like an angel but not so perfect soul-wise for you? (Not necessarily a harpy just more conflicting of a personality or tumultuous a relationship. I know already which one I would pick too ) rabid
