I had followed up by reading more about it;

I would guess that the 'errors' are probably the hidden key to solving the forth panel.

Don't tell anyone that you can see their shadows. If they hear you telling anyone, if you let them know that you know of them, they will get you.

Among other things.  We'll find out in about 20 years when they finally crack it.
IIRC, Jim Sanborn predicted that the first panels would be solved in a matter of months and it took 8 years.

Probably how it feels to die. Yeah, morbid, but I sort of view that as the last discovery to make in life, and... well, I'm not sure what I'd do after that. It'd be interesting.

I would like to see if there is any sort of afterlife, reincarnation, or what happens to me when i die, except nothing:P
Or i would also like to turn back and see beginning of the universe.

Well, there are a few things, Id like to catch a god doing something, any god, im not picky.  Id like to go back to when I was 10 or so and get a good look at the giant dog/panther/bunyip I saw for about 2 seconds in the dark in the bush near our farm as a kid (I seriously remember it being cow sized, very much a WTF WAS THAT? FUKIT RUUUUUN! moment).  Id like to check out jesus, just to see if the miracles have been embellished at all over the years, ditto moses. Ohhh, and Id love to watch a skyscraper taken out by a whale dropped from a few ks up in the atmosphere.  (dead whale, im not weird or anything)

The matter wouldn't interact with you, so I guess the big bang is possible. If you could tell people about it, it'd be awesome and I'd definitely try to observe it. If not, well, it's just really bright and really hot gas.
I can't wrap my head around the idea of observing the big bang. I mean, before and even until shortly after the big bang there was no such thing as a photon. Hell, time and space didn't have any meaning back then. I don't have a clue about how you could even see anything...

You know that was only invented so that manufacturers could charge the same price for what was essentially less icecream, right?  I'm sure there was a warning in that somewhere.

Maybe it was invented as a cost saving measure, but it does have its own unique texture.  And I think it tends to be cheaper than hard ice cream?  In any case it's clearly her greatest contribution to society.
