I saw a similar thread on shadowunit.org and thought it might be fun to port here.
The rules:
Someone else has posted a wish. You grant the letter of the wish in such a way as to violate the spirit and make the wisher's life either unpleasant or short.
Then you post a wish.
For example, if someone else posted: "I wish to be married to a beautiful, intelligent woman with a go-get-'em attitude." you might post in reply: "And here's your bride: Elizabeth Barthony." and then append that with "I wish for a pony."
I'll start.
I wish the weather would warm up.

I wish for a better worldGranted. It is the year 39009 CE. You collapse into gibbering insanity, unable to grasp the changes around you.
I wish I had a working Portable Hole.
Granted. Your bunghole is transformed into an extra dimensional space covering all you put into it in a thin sheen of your own waste matter.
I wish I could cast charm person spells at a rate of 3 per day.
I wish I had the ability of Telepathy.
You now cannot sleep or function since everyone's interior monologue within a 10-mile radius spills into your quivering brain . You go insane within a week, giving yourself a home trepanation to stop the voices.
I wish that America had a viable space program.

I wish that America had a viable space program.
Granted. NASA's first moon base began operations in 1981. In a bold move, President Reagan created the first space-based nuclear weapons launch-and-delivery program, called the Golan Defense Platform. Today, thousands of missiles are poised to rain down upon the entire globe, and with Chinese and Russian platforms in the works, nuclear devastation is imminent.
I wish I were genetically predisposed to need no sleep, ever.

Granted. You now suffer from Fatal Familial Insomnia.
I wish that Paizo would become the most commercially successful RPG publishing company in History.
I wish that Paizo would become the most commercially successful RPG publishing company in History.
Granted!
Now Paizo is so successful it draws the attention of Hasbro, which offers to buy it out for an ungodly sum. Once the Pathfinder game is in its clutches, it immediately calls for a Pathfinder 2nd Edition, with a reset Spellplague on Golarion to update. Also, the avg. suppliment/module rating goes down to 'G' so as to not offend Hasbro's shareholders.
I wish that there was no poverty in the world.
Your wish is granted. You don't have protection from air friction so you burn to a crisp the first time you hit Mach 2.
I wish for a billion dollars.

I wish for a billion dollars.
Granted.
But the current Economic Crisis worsens, meaning that your Billion Dollars is actually worth bugger all.
Dammit I wanted to wish for Superspeed, so now I'll just have to wish for All of the RPGS, CCGS, Action Figures and Lego in existence!

I wish James Jacobs had his own dinosaur park on a private island off the coast of South America.
Granted. In 1993, James Jacobs survived a plane crash in the South Pacific. He washed up on shore at a secret government biotech research center involved in recombinant DNA studies. He stole clothing from a line on the beach, and successfully infiltrated the installation, eventually rising to become head of R&D. As a result of Jacobs early retirement from the gaming industry, events led to his close friends Mona, Bulmahn and others never making it to Paizo. Pathfinder does not exist.
I wish injuries to my body would heal instantaneously.
Granted. The rampant tissue growth from your accelerated healing immobilizes you.
I wish everyone on the Internet would use proper spelling and grammar.
I wish everyone on the Internet would use proper spelling and grammar.
The formation of the Grammar Police results in a decimation of the world's populace from summary executions. The economy crumbles for lack of unskilled labor worldwide. The educated flounder, not knowing how to actually accomplish anything.
I wish I could sleep in every day.
I wish I knew what to wish for.
Granted. Immediate physical pain brings whole new focus to your life as you cannot think of anything else than hope it would go away.
I wish for cold fusion to be economically viable energy source.
I wish for cold fusion to be economically viable energy source.
granted. both Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons become "co-emperors" of the planet forcing us to reduce our dependence on money, electricity and fossil fuels, thus creating the opportunity for scientists to find economically feasible ways to utilize this cold fusion as our primary source of energy. however few people know of the accident happening december 21, 2012. in an experiment to test the stability of this energy, a pizza delivery boy became exposed to a potentially lethal ball of energy turning him into a living example of cold fusion, noticing the stability of his energized form, both the emperors and scientists came to a concesus that the pizza boy must be used to power our planet for the rest of the existence of the human race....
I wish to be in perfect harmony with the planet

Granted. Years from now, even the most hardened news analysts will comment on how your brood-drenched screams added a piquant counterpoint to the rumble of the volcano which opened up under you.
I wish for an opportunity to see the world from space ... without immediately dying of suffocation or explosive decompression. Or cold, either, I'd rather not die of cold.

I grant you one cardboard box, which will miraculously transport you one second into THE FUTURE for every second you spend sitting in the box.
I wish I had a free lunch.
A box which was originally slated from hunger relief in Africa gets misrouted to Paizo HQ. Cosmo gorges himself on the hunger relief supplies and as a result a dozen children die of starvation. Wracked with guilt Cosmo spends the rest of his life and all of his money trying to solve world hunger.
I only have a few wishes... and none of them belong here.
I wish my cats would get along.

All cats develop super human like intelligence and band together to enslave the world and force former cat owners to bat a pieces of string dangling over their heads until they die of exhaustion.

I wish TV didn't suck.

I wish TV didn't suck.
Granted: All TV shows are now so perfect and attention holding that every human who owns a TV does nothing all day but sit and watch. These people slowly die of starvation, most work comes to a halt, and civilization as we know it soon collapses.

You are king of the world, with eighteen scheming children from four different ex-queens. You elude assisinations daily, so many that you become hoplessly paranoid and lock yourself in a castle tower and live like a prisoner.
