Some stupid meme that nobody will remember in like three weeks. Fame seems pretty overrated. Unless it came with a lot of money. I could probably learn to deal with people being all up in my business if the pay was high enough. I figured you'd want to become famous for having the most awesome toy store on the planet. In which case you could turn around and tell the haterz to suck it, you not only built your own business but it's WORLD FAMOUS!!!

Victim Advocate for domestic abuse cases with the PD (the type of thing she'd like to be famous for - to kind of keep us on topic for the thread)

I'd invent something that would keep parents healthy when their kids get sick.
DD2 got a stomach bug. Her issues were reasonable to deal with. I got it today. My issues, totally unreasonable.

Either for figuring out a way to have long lasting global peace, or some scientific breakthrough that would cure a lot of heartache (maybe not cancer, but Alzheimer's) or would make a turning point in science. Like time travel or being able to instantly get anywhere without flying.

I don't really have any talents...so fame will always elude me Though I wouldn't mind my 15 minutes for doing something heroic......Fighting off a burglar/kidnapping...saving someone Just enough to make the papers and draw a bit of admiration. ....then back to normality the next day.

LOL, @tbird - maybe you already are famous for it, and just don't know it.
I'd like to be famous for my art - though I have sold several pieces, I'd like to have my name recognized as an artist by a broader audience.

I know I'm quoting myself. I actually mean it. While I still feel like crap, DS is totally busted. So maybe it was worth it? I know why he's so tired in the morning. The child that never has slept past 6:15 has been sleeping in until 7 the past week and a half. He's stealth reading in his bed... I think I want to have a little fun with this. Maybe tomorrow night I'll walk by his room every 3 minutes, just to irritate him. He also believes in Santa. (still). I could have some fun with that as well.

I'd want to be famous for discovering or inventing a freely available, non-patentable, totally green, carbon-neutral, infinitely sustainable, non-polluting energy source that forever breaks our world-wide dependence on crude oil. Unobtainium or Wonderflonium....

Hmmm.... I've learned being good all or most of the time has very little benefit being a stupid ass jerk and people love that shit! LOL so I want something bad, but not too bad! ?? there is a boundary or crossing the line of being bad to horrible person impersonating a celebrity! Zaire looks like so and so celebrity and was collecting free food, free passes into clubs, free limo, and jewelry gifts! cause people constantly approach me and think I'm some famous football player or basketball player. I just don't deny it! then I get caught by ...say TMZ

(Curing cancer was my first choice, but I see that's taken.)
I'd like to invent a shot that renders cats and dogs (and other mammals) sterile without having to do spaying/neutering.
I'd like to invent really inexpensive solar panels that last 40+ years and which are the size of a deck of cards.
I'd like to invent an electronic device that can squelch tornadoes as they form.
I'd like to set up wildlife sanctuaries all over the world that prevent so many beautiful animals from facing extinction.

I certainly can't top ❤ mollymouser ❤ 's list - that's too awesome and would be a wonderful benefit to the world.
I guess I'd like to be famous for my art - and having people buy/admire/appreciate it - and for it to live on long after I'm gone. I've managed to sell several pieces so part of that dream is alive, at least.
It's unlikely I'd ever reach the fame or notoriety of Michaelangelo (wink, wink), but having my name known by (at least local) collectors while I'm still alive to enjoy the glory, would be a thrill.

I have been having this weird urge to get arrested doing something bizarre.
There was this church that had a little nativity scene out front, and people kept stealing the baby Jesus out of it. The nuns got annoyed and finally put up a camera system, and caught a nicely dressed, later middle aged grandmotherly type person (with a purse) sneaking over and stealing baby Jesus.
That's what I want to get arrested for. Something that will make the rest of the world pause for five seconds and say WFT?

What kind of artist are you? Given the references you made I'm thinking painter. Do you have your art posted anywhere, such as a link, for us to admire? Just curious. I'd like to see it.

Being CEO of a Fortune 500 company. I'd bet most people could not recognize by name or face the CEO of 10% of the Fortune 500 companies. While I think it would be cool to be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, I don't think it necessarily makes you famous to a large audience.

While I think it would be cool to be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, I don't think it necessarily makes you famous to a large audience. You are correct which is mostly why I picked it. I would have my face in Forbes magazine but never on the cover of People. Since only others in the same position would recognize me there would be no reason for paparazzi. But maybe I didn't aim for famous enough.
