A machine for time travel. I could be super rich if I could just go back in time and invent some of the useless crap that has made others millions and betting on games I know the outcome of. Not to mention I would like to experience historical periods first hand.

A small matter-transference device which could be implanted in my poor ole bladder, to empty it when there's no toilets around.  Preferably onto the head of some politician.  ;D

I like the way you think.  ;D Would love to see the look on a politician's face when he received a random piss shower from nowhere....

Life on another planet.  Although, I did have a dream the other night about my consciousness being transferred into a robot that could explore the universe at FTL speeds.  That was pretty cool.
Life is but a momentary glimpse of the wonder of the astonishing universe, and it is sad to see so many dreaming it away on spiritual fantasy.~Carl Sagan

Some form of matter transfer. Instead of having to mail a large package at the post office, I could put it on a small square platform and mail it to CA in seconds. :)

The transfer of human conciousness to machine.  ;)

Dang it, Pudding got there first. Well, I would love to see them create a working cyborg, limbs, ability speak and all. Though I think its a tall order...

Meh, lightsabre or extraterestrials would work too.

A dream recorder. You'd be able to save your dreams and even show them to others.
Bowels in or bowels out?

Well I hope they're better than mine. 
Mine are complete crap.
My performance in the scary ones is much worse than the stupidest stupid in a stupid teen horror movie.
The erotic ones are totally unsatisfying. 
It is said you can't die in your dreams, I'm not sure about that but I know the little death has always eluded me.

I'm glad I don't dream much.
