Granted, as long as your fantasies are not too taxing on your brain.

I wish there was a neverending story.

granted, the neverending story of prometheus suddenly becomes true, with you as its subject. Bound to a rock an eagle eats your liver daily, causing lots of agony for all eternity.

I wish there lived eagles in the Netherlands.

Granted, but Dutch eagles will eat only house pets like cats and dogs. Without domestic predators Holland is soon overrun by rats to which the Dutch eagle is allergic. Billions of typhus infected rats soon force the human population to flee the Netherlands creating great hardship throughout Western Europe even as the Dutch eagles become extinct due to starvation and a lack of EU citizenship that would have allowed them to move to Belgium or Germany.

I wish to be somewhere else when the world ends in 2012.

Granted, you have won a trip to the Netherlands and are just being eaten by hordes of vicious rats, when suddenly with a large BOOM the world ends.

I wish the maya's had it wrong.

Granted. The Mayans got it all wrong. The Apocalypse begins in 3... 2... 1...

I wish Mad Max would rescue us from the wasteland.

Granted, welcome to the Thunderdome.

I wish we were not trapped in that B grade movie for longer than it takes to get Von Hesse sentenced to death by Auntie Entity.

Granted, you may spend eternity as a drone character in U-571.

I wish to see a reality TV show where all the doomsayers and conspiracy nuts are locked in a stadium with the last one standing being crowned Whacko of the Century.

Granted, you are the new president of Zimbabwe.

I wish the trials were tribulations.

Granted, your trial ends in the tribulation of life improsonment with a much larger hairier and hornier cellmate.

I wish piracy was restricted to the high seas.

granted, piracy is now restricted on the high seas. Piracy becomes legal on national waters however. With all coastal waters crowded with pirates, international trade comes to a stop giving the world economy its final blow. Technology gets too expensive and human kind descends into stone age again.

I wish all pirates had a hook:arrgh!:

Granted, all pirates now carry coat hooks around with them.

I would like to know the simple truth.

Granted, but since the truth is never simple, you are given a cleverly constructed lie instead

I wish to wish a wish which wished by wishing a wish

Granted except that by using "wish" an even number of times they effectively cancel each other out and you get exactly nothing.

I wish it was not such a long way to Tipparary.

Granted, it is now in your living room and the Red Army Banner Choir are singing it 24/7 preventing you getting to sleep.

I wish the target was clear.

Granted, you are clearly the target.

I wish Manuel Targetting was a real person.
