Who among us hasn’t wanted to find a magical lamp complete with a resident Genie to give us three wishes?  Heck, I would even take a monkey paw, knowing full well that I have to phrase things exactly right to avoid unintended dire consequences.  Well this week, the Brain Trust assembles to discuss wishes, how to make them, their ramifications, and proper phrasing to ensure that you can predict the desired outcome.  Messing with reality is tricky business, but this week we will prepare you for your next birthday wish, or trip to the wishing well.
