Six Superpowers I Wish I Had
Posted 03-11-2008 at 12:28 AM by Zztx
[B]1) To be inspired at the drop of hat.[/B]
- Literally. I'd wear this "creative fedora" and whenever I wanted to draw or write something, I'd throw it to the ground and yell "SHOWTIME!", or some trademark line like that.
[B]2) The "Zero Impression Button" - a reset button for first impressions.[/B]
- Did that comment you made to that pretty girl come off as awkward or clumsy? Told a racial joke at just the wrong time? Did your interview fail miserably? Push the "Zero Impression Button" and your subject will forget the forgettable first impression, thus giving you another shot at not making yourself look like an ass!
[B]3) Subtitles in real-life.
[/B]- So I can read what people are saying in noisy environments, whenever my attention deficiency is acting up, or when they're just speaking incoherently.
Better yet, it would include the option to print out the subtext to any dialogue*; finally, you no longer have to struggle with reading your better half's mixed signals!
[b]4) To be able to efficiently speed-read.[/b]
- Not exactly a superpower, but there's some reading assignments I'm putting off right now...
[b]5) Flying.[/b]
- Duh. It's quick and convenient transportation, and it's something I've dreamed of doing since I was a kid.
But more importantly, [i]girls would LOVE IT.[/i] It'd be like guitar-playing times one hundred.
[b]6) God-like wit.[/b]
- I'm pretty sure Groucho Marx had this superpower.
[SIZE="1"][B]*[/B]It bugs me that the spell-checker marks "dialogue" as wrong, as opposed to "dialog." I prefer the British spelling, that's all.[/SIZE]

You don't know how much I agree with the subtitles one.

Sometimes I have trouble understanding what people say over the phone because I've tuned out. Got to stop doing that.
