Dunno. Maybe rig things so that some of these attemps at perpetual motion/free energy attempts actually work.

Bugger that. 295 degrees above absolute zero is more like it. We could all live in nice warm space stations then, instead of this poxy little planet. And the internet would work ok.

Besides the obvious choices like repealing death (except when voluntary), the conservation of energy (I can haz majix!) and reducing gravity, I would repeal the inverse-square law of male/female libido, so that all women are constantly as horny as me. That way I'd stand a snowball's chance of getting laid.

Perhaps you could repeal Sods law, that says that if something's going to fail, it does so the very next day after the warranty runs out.

I'd be far to worried about unintended consequences to change a basic law of nature.
