* Sneak onto the space shuttle and go into space. Optionally jumping out the door at any time (going up, in orbit or one the way down).
* Kidnap myself and demand a ridiculously high ransom from the state.
* Restart the Free Love movement.
* Put my name is as Democratic candidate, sweep the rest of the election and 100% of the super delegates, and then become the most unexpected and powerful man in the world by winning the general election
* The most epic, cross-country, high speed police chase ever.
* My favorite parts of GTA, in real life. This includes pilot lessons after breaking into an airport by jumping a 15 foot fence with a BMX bicycle I stole from a gangster on the sidewalk down the block.
* Flip a quarter heads up, repeatedly, on national TV under scientific scrutiny. Sound boring? Wait until I do it 1000 times in a row, all heads up. The astronomical odds would make me more likely to be a demigod than just a really "lucky" guy. Not enough? Flip it 10,000 more times. If you do the near-impossible enough times, people will think you are the third coming. And then life gets fun. :)
Just open your eyes to the many beautiful women around you right now. 'Supermodels' are just an illusion -- cartoon characters which distract you from what is real.
I'd make everybody happy, without compromising the long-term prospects of the human race. And then I'd do something even more awesome, but I'd have to begin somewhere.
I've changed my mind. After reading some of these answers. I remember reading (some possibly apocryphal) stories about Tibetan monks able to run for days on end and sit on mountaintops in freezing weather without getting cold.
I would attempt to learn how to unlock the true power of the mind and teach others to do so (to eliminate fear and the self-talk stuff that stops us)
Which makes this a very funny question: you could also attempt to calculate the instantaneous position of an electron within an atom. And not fail. And when you don't fail, you failed.
Solve the halting problem. One minor detriment: because it would effectively create an infinite solution in a finite space, the resulting impact on space-time would probably be cataclysmic.
Persuade parents to act much more rationally, invent enough life extension and backup-and-restore-of-people for immortality, win the war on terror (with a single heartfelt speech), make dirt cheap self-replicating, easily programmable nano-bots that understand English.
