If you could know about one thing, what would it be?

Not just one thing, but all aspects of an event, person, or subject.

There are too many to enumerate, and I'll leave the obvious historical situations to someone else.



I'd like to know if my dogs actually understand me when I talk to them, or if it's a conditioned response to stimuli. Would they be smart enough to talk if they had the right equipment? Do they feel joy or other emotions? When they cock their heads when I say certain things, are they thinking about a "walk in the park" or "going for a ride"? What are they actually thinking about?

Nano-technology I think... one sock out of every ten pack is enfused with some compound that reacts with soap... its a conspiracy by Big Socks. Don't doubt it either... did you know that Big Pants and Big Underwear have a massive plot to keep underwear from being built into pants? Think about it...

Anyways... if I could know everything about one thing, it would be every aspect of automotive technology from drivetrain, suspension, to electronics and engine managment. God my career would really skyrocket then. I could ask to know everything about how to win at poker... but I'd rather work on cars and just make money doing that. I like the people... I like helping people and knowing they are safe and getting an honest deal on repairs... very satisfying. I love reconditioning brake systems...but anyways...

Re: If you could know about one thing, what would it be?

Im torn between either knowing every aspect of the human body and how everything works, reacts, etc. because thinking about all the good I could do if i knew more than the leading experts in their fields know.

Either that or baseball scores forever so I could bet on them and be rich. I hate baseball and dont watch it anyway so it wouldnt matter to me if i already knew the scores.

Re: If you could know about one thing, what would it be?

The address of the Ford engineers, as every time I have to work on these cars, I want to find those sons of b*tches and beat them with a sock full of quarters, and then force all of them to work on the car themselves.
Or maybe perhaps, what happens when you die... without actually dieing.

Might I suggest letting them work on the car first, as the beating and subsequent cranial hemoraging might prove to be a hinderance on the wrenching.

Re: If you could know about one thing, what would it be?

I'd like to know everything there is to know about modern music. I must be getting old, because I have no f'in idea who half of these upstart new groups are, and the ones that I thought were ice cool in the '80s now look ridiculous.

I think I would like to know what really happens after you die. Such as, which religion, if any, is correct. Or, if none, what is the right answer. Is there a single all-knowing, all-powerful being, ie God, or are there multiply gods that rule over a specific thing? And why are here? Obviously, all religions answer these questions in one form or another, but what's the right answer? Maybe, we are in something like the matrix and just a small piece is a seemingly inifinte bigger picture. And, all these questions lead to other questions, but you guys get the idea.
