Well, you could raise an island from the ocean floor if need be. But it occurs to me that the literal reading of this specifies a "patch of land", so it makes sense that the random location would not be in an ocean or lake.

I found a website that serves up random locations on Earth and kept clicking until the first one that was on land. I got a spot just inside the northern edge of Bandingilo National Park in South Sudan. Looks like a pretty nice place, and not too hard to get to (I'd hate to have hit a spot in Antarctica or the heart of the Sahara or something like that). The local political situation could be a bit tricky, though, South Sudan is wretchedly poor and wracked with civil war. I'd probably want to keep a low profile.

Anyone who chooses the former is stupid. You could simply wish for an area of land any size in a specific spot rather than it being so damn awkward

Whenever you're faced with a moral dilemma a tiny angel and a tiny demon appear on your shoulders to argue for the the stereotypically "good" and "evil" solutions to it.

From now on any time anyone flips a coin it will always land "heads".

+1 for the 'These do not go well together' pile.

My patch of land has all coins landing on heads anyway... (And no one has to go to the bathroom)

The other option this is paired with doesn't happen to you but instead happens to your twenty closest friends

This is tough... I'm sure my friends would let me on the magic land though...

The other option this is paired with happens to everyone on Earth, not just to you.
