If you had a super power, what would it be?

[Bob]

Huh?

[ajspiano]

Huh?

I'll take that as a "no".

[j_menz]

..he owns 100% of the United States land mass.

Why buy the land when the government's a heck of a lot cheaper? 

But No.

You are able to be two persons at the same time? 

I'd be fussier than you give me credit for were that the case. And why stop at 2?

[ajspiano]

I'd be fussier than you give me credit for were that the case.

Are you implying that you would not want to be me? I'm so offended.

[ajspiano]

I'd rather spend more on an asset than less on a liability.

[j_menz]

You're not the heir to a fortune, don't have one of those cool aristocratic titles from middle Europe, and don't speak Russian. I could do better is all I'm saying.

[ajspiano]

I'll admit that I don't have a cool aristocratic title - but I don't see how you can guarantee I can't speak russian, or that I'm not the heir to a fortune of some non-specific size. Maybe my family is really wealthy but takes a "go make it on your own" approach to parenting.

..and even if I don't speak russian, I could learn.

I read Forbes.

Now you're sounding desperate. 

[ajspiano]

I read Forbes.

I didn't think you knew my full real name? have you been internet stalking me? or did I provide you with my email address at some point?

in anycase, I could be more than wealthy enough to invoke financial jealousy without having made it into forbes..

you must be awfully greedy.

[j_menz]

Or omniscience is my secret power.

you must be awfully greedy.

Most awfully.

[ajspiano]

Most awfully.

have considered the advantages of my youth, wit and good looks?

[j_menz]

my youth, wit and good looks?

Yes. Um.... [be nice!] ... your point exactly?

[hfmadopter]

What would be dumb about that.. 

..oh wait, I'm probably young and stupid.

Hey, what ever !!

Dumb, pretty lady says "hey put this cape on". temporarilly stunned and speechless he does it. Stupid ? Well you're stupid, don't know anything, no smarts. Sorry about that !

[chopin2015]

..and even if I don't speak russian, I could learn.

You have "much free time"? In Russia, the best way to teach someone is to beat it into them...

[Bob]

Hey!  Check out these cool green emeralds! 




*Bob distributes emeralds to everyone on the thread.*

[the_fervid_pig]

Looks a bit like Kryptonite...just to come around full circle.

[thalbergmad]

If I had a super power I would use it to instantly destroy every caravan on Earth.

Thal

The Romanians and Bulgarians living within them included?

[thalbergmad]

Oh no, must protect the poor discriminated against little darlings.

I only want the caravans.

Thal

[ahinton]

For what purpose? Do you intend to set up a business selling second-hand ones?

Anyway, in answer to the thread topic, it would be to be able to play the piano.

Best,

Anyone can play the piano, it's to what degree that counts. So to just say "to play the piano", you probably are already there ! Your wish is granted.

Google says, "Wow.  Hall in the snow."  What is it really though?  Unless it's an idiom...




*Bob morphed into the ability to time travel and replied to an old post there.  Did you notice?*  Winning the lottery too much would be noticeable.  If you could time travel and avoid the alternate reality streams... and grandfather effect...  and just not have aging occur while you travel or stop time -- because then you head out the next day, finally ready, but you've aged 40-somthing years. 

I could go for the superpower of splitting into several selves, having all my selves work on different projects during the day, then recombining back into one self at the end of the day, work done, memories intact.

Nooo! I have a static, it looks out over the mountains and is maybe the only thing that keeps me reasonably sane.
