What would you try if you knew you could not fail?

I would--

find a cure for cancer
open my own catering business
get rid of my kidney stones for good

This always makes me laugh when people don't specify things. First off, what cancer? Rat cancer? Dog cancer? Human cancer? Once you specify species, you need to specify which type: melanomas? pancreatic? lung? brain? myomas? lymphomas? cervical? What if you cured one that already had a cure? Second, what if you found a cure that caused something else, or a cure with a high death rate?


If I knew I couldn't fail? Prosecute "dubya" and some of his cronies for crimes against humanity.

'some of his cronies' could mean any number of people, as 'crimes against humanity' could mean any number of things in any number of courts. You might want to revise your post for utmost specificity, lest it make anyone laugh.

The International Criminal Court was specifically set up for dealing with "crimes against humanity" which can include war crimes. Some of his cronies would include the people that were specifically implicated in these crimes, and the full extent of who was involved and to what degree would not be known until investigated.
