Sure, it's fun to come up with imaginary, new super powers, but what super powers do you have already?

I have a couple.

First, I make traffic lights turn yellow merely by approaching them in a car. It doesn't work 100% of the time, but I've logged tremendous statistical anomalies.

Tremendous statistical anomalies!!

Also, I think of a line of dialog from a television show, and within a day or two, my channel surfing will reveal that exact moment, right before my eyes!

Must... Erg!... use these powers... only for... uh!... good!

In the toidy.
I can hold a couch in place for hours.

If it's in front of a TV and there's food within reach, many many hours.

When you figure it out, will you let me know?

You must be the nemesis for my mom. She makes them all turn green. What would happen if the two of you approached a stop light at the same time?

Batman/Inspector Gadget-style "super powers" are acceptable. My own personal Nanglemobile, the green 2000 VW New Beetle, displays an uncanny knack for attracting avian feces, however I haven't quite worked out how to use this facility to foil evil-doers.

I can make a box of those Little Debbie cakes disappear in an instant!

I can make surrounding traffic disobey all roadrules!

Umm..other than that I pretty much suck.

I can spot arachnids within so many feet of my body before anyone else can.

I can cause paralysis but only on myself and only during sleep.

I can make my husband reach out and grab my arse simply by bending over. -- This superpower drives me insane.

I can tell people something and make them go, "huh?"

I can play songs over and over in my head without an MP3 player . . . especially songs I didn't like to begin with.

Somehow I ended up in Fort Worth. Dunno how that h
my most useful superpower is my ability to create an empty parking spaces near the front of a store.

My least useful power is my ability to misspell any word at any given moment, despite having previously spelled correctly a few sentences prior.

Well, I wouldn't tape your buns together anyway because you could probably beat me up. So I will make an elephant lamp

I can predict what women will say in a bar.

I go, "How's it going, beautiful?"

And they reply, "Get lost, jerk". And I KNEW they were going to say that! Uncanny, huh?

I have the power to make people step back with a look.

The powers to talk freely with guy friends, then in an instant, become shy and meek when a guy of interest arrives.

I also can predict when the Chicago Cubs will lose. HA, HA, HA…..

I have the power to mess up everything I cook, including Tang (those little envelopes with powder you add to water to flavor it). Yes, I have messed up Tang.

Oh, and I have the power to make any electrical appliance of my possesion fail (but not as bad as my cousin, who could make a computer lose its internet connection by simply touching it)


On a more serious note, I have the power to know what other people are thinking without even looking at them.

I have the power to push someone away without touching them. Seriously, I'll even teach you.

1. Lick your palm (make sure they see you do it)
2. Extend palm towards person
3. Profit

My ability is that when I park in an empty parking lot, someone will park beside, in front of, or behind me in spite of all the empty spots available. And they will be driving a huge pickup/SUV/minivan that I cannot see around or through. I drive a Corolla.

I also can break watches simply by wearing them.

I burn toast, soup, popcorn, and french fries when attempting to cook.

I speak cat.
