Hi all,
I would like to know what other people would do, using the power of Uncle Omar Krepps' watch........
Set aside world domination, sexual persuits, and breaking the law.
Doesn't leave much, does it??

yeah, i would just untie everybody's bikini tops---again and again and again----
shareSleep.
Imagine if you had 24 hours a day awake, just stop time and sleep as long as you want.
I can imagine all kinds of things I could accomplish with more time in the day, and enough sleep at night.
Of course, I would have to spend a few months playing with pranks first haha.
...And that is exactly what Bonny Lee used it for, in the book.
On a couple of occasions, she was exhausted after playing her silly pranks on unsuspecting people, so she just flicked into the 'red world' and caught up on a few hours of sleep.
Sure would be handy..... :-)

But you age while everybody else doesn't!!! That's the downside, ever frozen second would add to your age relative to everybody else.
The Simpsons spoofed this on one of their Halloween Specials, Bart & Millhouse get a magic watch that allows them to freeze time, & yep as you guessed it they use it mostly to pull pranks on the residents of Springfield.
I dunno about you, but I seem to age while everybody doesn't, even without Uncle Omar's watch!
Just look around you. The whole world seems to be under twenty five....
Still, it would be worth it - the watch, I mean. Think of the stuff you could do......
^_^

I would freeze the time whenever they asked me something I wouldn't be able to answer at once...So I would think about my response, then I would unfreeze time and I would respond.
Otherwise I would break the law of course (watch naked women and steal things)
The first thing I would do is cheat and get a lot of money. Winning at roulette or a wheel of fortune would be easy enough, and even a lottery would be doable.
Then, I would give almost all of the money away. A little to charities which help the poor and homeless and hungry, yes, but most of it to the people doing research into aging. As in: stopping or even reversing aging.
Then yes, I could use it for catching up on sleep, figuring out a more intelligent thing to say (thank you stratossi), and I could even see myself using it to look at nekkid "frozen" women, though I'd stop short of having sex with them. But until the aging thing is cracked, I'd use it pretty sparingly. I'm nearly fifty already.
I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure you're not Hitler.
