Oh, I forgot. I'm incredibly lucky at all games. In Risk, I frequently roll 666. I also was dealt a 4 to 8 straight flush daimonds in a game of poker for ten bucks.

Also, I can tell what people are talking about from the expressions on their faces and their hand motions, regardless of whether I can hear them at all.

I can extract a match from it's box and strike it, only using the hand that's holding the matchbox and without putting anything down. All in about 5 seconds.

OK- it's not much of a superpower, but it means I don't have to waste drinking time by putting my pint down to light a fag.

In rock paper scissors, people generally start with rock or scissors. Now suppose they start with rock and you start with paper, giving you the win. They will disproportionately choose "scissors" next. There's some sort of subconscious impulse to choose the thing that would have won last round if one loses. However it depends on the person a lot.

Anyway, I'm not going to further ramble.


I habitually pick what I picked before because I think some people will assume Im the type you are describing.

In fact when it comes to competitive games, (sports, video game etc) I am King of mix ups. I leave doubt on my opponent with my consistent streaks, people wlays think "Nah he just did this 3 times in a row, surely he will change his strategy".

Man, if you only knew how strange that sounds on this side of the pond. Fag here is a derogatory expression for male homosexuals.

You think that's strange? In Britain, a "Faggot" is a meatball made largely of offal.

Not only that, but a "Mother****er" is a small iced bun.

Faggot is german for Bassoon because it looks like a "bundle of sticks", having played the basson for nearly 20 years now I guess that makes me one... Just don't tell my wife.

A bassoon eh? I love the sound of that instrument, very haunting to my ears, that and the Oboe. I'm a musician myself; guitar, harmonica and a little bit of flute. And I admire anyone who can play a double-reeded instrument!

Hey there you go, that's your super-power!

Now there's a phrase that you definitely have to use with caution, especially if you're married!

So do you play professionally or just for the hell of it?

I started in 7th grade... Played for school (orchestra and band), state honor bands and orchestras, played for 4 years in the Fresno Youth Philharmonic, and played for the UCDavis Sympony Orchestra. Also, played professionally, a little, for wedding assembles, balls, and churches (usually around the christmas season). Currently, I just play for the hell of it, its been about 4 years that I have played with anyone.

I have very good hearing, much better than all the members of my family. I can also sometimes tell what people are going to do or say before they do or say it.

My sister, though, has the best super power of all - extreme sarcasm!

It's more enhanced when I'm on foot or on a bike, but still works when I'm driving.

Statistically, the bulbs should last for a loooooong time, since they're expensive as hell to replace. I've had several nights where I've killed three as I get within about 30-40 meters range and look at them.

On average, I'll kill one every two to three days, always when I'm close, always when I'm looking in it's general direction.

The really weird part about it is I've never seen one die at any real distance, and you know these things don't get changed out the next day - I very rarely come across one that's out, they just die when I approach.


house lights too.

Ok, I can also "sense" a turned on TV in my house. Even if it's muted, and on sleep and through walls.

My hearing isn't very good (I listen to alot of really loud rock) and I often don't get well what people are saying to me.

But, on the other hand, I can hear cars, motorcycles, insects, radios from yards away.


I also have some other powers but i fail to recall them now.

My super power is the art of illusion.

I can create entire worlds with a few strokes of the ol' pen and get people lost and caught up in them.

Not that I'm really able to do much WITH that, mind you, but it's a cool ability nonetheless.

My secondary super power is that women seem drawn to hug me (old friends, complete strangers...doesn't matter).

I'm not really sure why, but I don't complain....

Oh...and Tass hates me....not sure if that counts as a super power tho...

I have profetic dreams. It's fricking amazing. I should start the habit of writing down my dreams as I wake up.


People, situations, I can see around 8 weeks into the future, sometimes, more than a year, a case of a dream that I vividly remembered for quite a long time, that came true. Maybe if I wrote and remembered all of my dreams, I'd find an even stronger connection rate.

It's quite amazing, actually.

I can speak in tongues at will. Apparently those Pentacostalists have to pray a lot first and get all ecstatic and everything. I didn't know this was such a big deal, but I was reading some stuff on it and apparently it's very rare for someone to be able to do that without ever having been part of some congregation or having contact with others who do that.

Not very useful, except for freaking people out.
I'm not even religious

MtG, that streetlight thing happens to me and to some other people I know, so I guess we must just be mistaken about the probability.
