If you could have the original of anything in the world, what would you want it to be?
If you could have the original of anything in the world, what would you want it to be?
Assume that you would never be allowed to sell it for money or charge to view it. You must simply enjoy it for what it is.
What would it be and why?

I wrote the entire bible.
I would love to have anything written in Dante’s own hand.
Honus Wagner baseball card or a Monet or a Van Gogh.
John Lennon’s first guitar.
It’d be representational of just how something so random as his estranged but beloved Aunt Mimi buying a teenage John this cheap guitar and in so doing, changed the world.
Anything that belonged to one of the ancient Celtic women warriors and was carried into battle.
A Mozart or Beethoven score would be pretty awesome.
Mickey Rooney’s jockstrap from his younger days, when he would spend many an afternoon riding side saddle on a natterjack toad. Jesus & Moses were his “pit crew” I believe.
The Memphis Belle. If only…
Drawings that my mother did would be nice.
A Dali painting. Any of them.
If I can’t sell, rent, or charge viewing of it, an original anything would be useless, unless maybe an original 57 Vett with a convertable hardtop.
I don’t really want anything. However, it would be nice to have a transitional fossil just kicking around.
Jennifer Tilly.
I think she’d be lots of fun.
The Singularity.
waaay trippier looking on my bureau than a fucking lava lamp
I don’t really want anything, but @tom_g‘s answer made me think that an original Apatosaurus would be kind of cool. The food bill would probably be difficult to afford, though. But I could charge people for parking. Viewing the Apatosaurus would be free.
The Earth as it was before homosapien sapiens wounded it.
A dinosaur as a pup. My own “little” adventure.
An original person I could spend my life with would be enough.
A VHS copy of Maximum Overdrive. It’s the only copy in existence that was left untouched, and has all the gore that’s been edited away from the TV showings and the DVD release.
My first thought was the Taj Mahal. Upkeep would be a bit of a headache, though. In that case, I’ll take a Rembrandt portrait, this one, perhaps, or this one. Why? I could look at the endlessly and not get tired of them.
I’ve viewed thousands of paintings in exhibits and museums in many cities. No prints and poster reproductions can really do justice to any of them. But it was seeing Rembrandt’s actual paintings from a few feet away instead of as a print that showed me the greatest difference in depth and dramatic power. A poster can give me a fair experience of a Monet, but for Rembrandt it has to be the real thing.
I would want an original T-Rex skeleton .
@athenasgriffin That would be nice, but where would you put it? I guess a sabertooth tiger skull would be cool.
@Hypocrisy_Central My back yard. Maybe it would scare my neighbors kid enough that he would stop blasting pounding music out of his car every morning.
I totally forgot about T-Rex. Oh that would be cool.
You already know the answer to this one….:)
A Frank Lloyd Wright designed home (Prairie Style)...before he went too cantilevered.
