5. I'd like to be able to make people hear music
that nobody else could hear. And they would be like, "Where's that coming from?" and everyone would be like, "Where's what coming from?"

19. Quickie Joke:
Man finds magic lamp.

Genie grants one wish:

You can be the richest man in the world, the most attractive man in the world, or the smartest man in the world.

Now, choose!




Man choses brains.

Wish is granted.

Deep thoughts ensue....




























Damn! I should have gone for the money!

22. Nah, just my rich younger brother poking fun of me
He's a millionaire with a high school education; He loves to tell that joke when I'm around.

Good thing money is not my motivator. I guess it is a philosopher's joke after all...


... now that I really think about it.

30. "Even the Gods themselves strive in vain
against stupidity."

I don't think there's a super power strong enough to make people smart or wise.

25. ESP. And a VCR.
Make tapes of all the happenings in smoke-filled rooms? Sell recordings of Cheney's latest fit of pique or *-Condi sex tapes?

Sure.

27. Shapeshifting.
We're not talking Mystique-style stuff here, more like "turn into a huge slavering beast that would make anyone cry for his mommy." :evilgrin:

That and immunity to mind control and telekinesis. Where's the fun in shapeshifting if someone can take over your mind or stop your heart?

35. The ability to get Dubya to pronounce "nuclear" correctly.
That would be a superpower indeed, because his ego suggests he just flat doesn't care that he is the President and is in control of the largest nuclear arsonal and can't pronounce the fucking word.

So, if he would be made to pronounce the word correctly, perhaps the ego that has put us in such awful shape would shift into place.
