This has potential , especially if you do it with the Matrix .

Good idea. The Matrix is definitely on the list of available experiences.

EDIT: If you take the red pill, you get to live Neo's life when he was still Thomas Anderson, go to his job and do all the stuff he would do. It'd be hilariously boring.

I think you mean the blue pill? If I remember correctly, the blue pill was the return to normal while the red pill was the "trace program"

Yep, right you are. I looked it up on Google and read the summary, and I guess I must've mis-read it. When I went to the Wikipedia page [0] it in fact says:

The blue pill would allow him to remain in the fabricated reality of the Matrix, therefore living the "illusion of ignorance", while the red pill would lead to his escape from the Matrix and into the real world, therefore living the "truth of reality".
