If you had to spend the rest of your life either 50 feet tall or 5 inches tall, which would you choose?

At 50 feet tall, you’d never again have a moment’s privacy, you’d never be able to blend into a crowd, and you’d have to work hard physical labour to make enough money to feed and clothe yourself. On the other hand, you’d never again need to worry about your physical safety, and you would be the strongest, toughest person on Earth.

At 5 inches tall, you’d either be in constant danger from animals or at the mercy of whomever was taking care of you, and could be pocketed and stolen like a doll or someone’s pet gerbil. On the other hand, you could drink the finest wines and liqueurs, eat only the finest foods, and pay next to nothing for it. And being “a fly on the wall” is suddenly a very real possibility—you’re the ultimate spy!

If you had to be one or the other for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?
