Solomon asked for wisdom. That was a good one. Of course, the same knowledge that makes a smart man wise could just as easily turn a wise man into a fool. But that's a long story. The question is, if God granted you the same kind of offer, what would you ask for? I'm sure if Jehovah did anything like this for everyone there would have to be some limits on what you could ask for.
For the purposes of this discussion we'll keep it simple. You can't ask to be God or for god like powers, you cannot affect the free will of others, you can't harm anyone, or raise the dead. Besides Jehovah and Jesus have that last thing covered anyway. As for me, I would want to fly like superman but I don't know if that counts as god like powers so if that wouldn't work, I'd ask for a superior intellect geared towards math. Then I could use it to be a better engineer in the new world. I can imagine running through a field ripping numbers apart with my bare hands like Samson with a PhD in physics. Only less graphic and much more difficult to represent visually.
