the power of "if"

I've been sitting on a gold mine for over a month now. I received a small black book for Christmas from my dear aunt this year and I haven't taken the time to read it until now. So it's called If and the entire book is only "if" questions. I'm thinking it's the ultimate conversation starter or one of those books you end up reading with friends for hours into the night. The only problem is that when you read it alone, and I mean really read it, it takes a good 20 minutes a page. You read one sentence and your eyes kind of daze off from the page and your mind starts to wonder. This lasts for about six or seven minutes until your roommate looks at you like you're crazy and you quickly stare back down at the page and go onto question number two.
If you could dine alone with anyone form any period in history, which person would it be?
If you could have any room in the world become your bedroom from now on, which room would you choose?
If you had to die in one of history's disasters, which would you pick?
If you could receive one small package this very moment, who would it be from and what would it be?

oh the conversations that will be had...
