I know this question has been asked a lot, but just out of curiousity, if you had a magic lamp and you wished from the genie of the lamp 3 wishes, what would they be? and please be creative..

"Please be creative"
Alright, well, let's assume for the sake of arguement that if we're not creative, the genie does something that'll screw us over. Hmmm... let's see. No wishing for more wishes, because that would create a time loop where I wish the same wish over and over and over!
No wishing to fly, then I'd just get airplane tickets (yah I stole that from a video game).
I suppose I would probably have to wish for something that follows the path of "lease resistance." At the very least I wouldn't want to do something that betrays standard scientific principles, or else I'd screw up stuff. So maybe transform 100 lbs of lead into 100 lbs of gold coins or something. I've always wanted assorted psychokinetic prowess, but I assume that any method that a wish would use to grant me said powers would likely give me a horrible side effect in the process...
"I wish I know what I should wish for" would just make me out of wishes, having figured it out afterwords.
Oiy. This is hard. Everything always has some self-destructive repurcussion. I guess I wouldn't wish for anything out of knowledge that it would come back to bite me in the ****. I guess I could do something lawyeresque and wish "That nothing I don't want to happen occurs from this or any other wish." Following from that, I suppose I would simply wish for unlimited power of some kind, which would likely fizzle the wish. Curses. So ultimately, I'd probably just wish I could drive, because that's one of the things that's been holding me back in life the most.
If I hadn't wasted my second wish, I'd probably wish for a job, or for a car...

My first wish would be for absolute wisdom and knowledge. My second wish would be for absolute power, and my third for absolute free will. That would basically make me God, and I can't think of anything anyone would rather be.
