    [​IMG] Here is a little of an off the wall question, maybe something a shrink would ask you. The answer is more about you then anything else.

    If you could have ONE super power what would it be?

    To keep it fair I'll go first.

    I'd take Mind Control.

    The ability to hold my breath for 10 minutes, like my hero, Guybrush Threepwood!
    Maybe x-ray vision would have been nice too though.

    [​IMG] Hmmm...A good question! I would say either, flying or invisibility. With invisibility winning out.

    Maybe an Adamantium Skeleton frame, with blades coming out of my knuckles at will - that would be cool - but not very practical...I'll stick with invisibility.

    [​IMG] Probably the ability to summon an avatar or such. That might be usable. :mad:

    Now mind-reading would be the perfect ability for the paranoiac. To be able to tell if people really are engaged in an elaborate plot to humiliate you by pretending to false friendship..... no, on second thoughts, they might get wise to it and mask their thoughts so... AAAAAAAAAARGGGH...everyone's after me.....!!

    [​IMG] Let me see... telekinesis would be nice. I thought about "flying", but realized it would be a lot more fun to make other people fly... against their will, of course...

    I'd want Superman's powers! (of course)

    If limited to one I'd pick tactile telekinesis. The effect of which would be that I could move anything that came within a 12 inch area of my body.

    By moving the air, I could fly
    By manipulationg material, I could lift heavy objects
    etc. . .

    in effect, I'd be Superman!

    A lillte bit off topic, just a comment to what Lokken wrote:

    Brain is one of the organs of the human body that doesn't ever get a rest. If by chance you start using it to its full 100% potential you wouldn't last more than 3-4 days and die of brain deterioration(sp?). The brain is utilised normally to 10% of its capacity, 20% - for super intelligent, 30% - for geniuses.

    [​IMG] Hardly.

    Today's Question:

    What percentage of our brain do we use?

    The Answer:

    We use 100% of our brain.

    The idea that we only use a small percentage of our brain is a myth. This isn't to say that the popular media and some very influential thinkers haven't contributed to this misconception.

    Physicist Albert Einstein and anthropologist Margaret Mead have been attributed to statements that humans only use a small portion of their brains. And the advertising industry is guilty of using the idea to sell their products.

    Regardless of its origin, experts in the field of neurology seem quite certain that although certain pathways in the brain may be working at different activity levels, all parts of the brain are always being used—even during sleep.

    Here is a link to a page called Do We Only Use 10% of our Brain, which has more information about the topic: http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/tenper.html

    I would say Flying... no problems in heavy traffic etc.... Why should I have Mind Control? I don't want to control the mind of others.. just give me something where I can have fun with...

    The ability to see that the world is what u make of it and therefore be able to cast spells as per Mage:The Ascession, where i will basically believe that something happens, and it does.
