I remembered. I have the ability to travel through time... except I can only go forward at regular speed.

My mind can travel backwards in time while my body travels forward in time.

I can bend my little finger without bending my ring finger (or any other finger, for that matter). Not the most helpful super power, but it's entertaining when others try (and fail) to emulate this ability.

I can remember things that I saw, heard, and thought from (almost) any period in my life. The cutoff point is when I was around 18 months old. Try as I might, I can't remember anything prior to that. But, I remember everything afterwards. Not always right when I want to, though (there is a lot to sift through, after all).

I can ride (and steer) a bicycle without using my hands.

I can survive a fall from 14,000 ft.

I can do that one thing. You know the one..
Spoiler
No, not that thing. The other one.

the less i sleep the more alert and energetic i feel, inverse of that, the more i sleep the more tired i feel.

Edit: ive just been informed that is in fact not a super power, but just regular behaviour of manic depressives

It doesn't roll off the tongue in the same manner. Couldn't I just say the non-politically correct term of "protest signs"?

You got me. I'm pretty flexible, but not the fabled double-jointed flexible.

Other than that, I have an amazing ability to somehow be just below the skill level of my boyfriend at EVERYTHING we do together despite me trying my best, so whenever we do stuff with friends I end up looking incompetent :P

I can take out garbage that mortal men, or at least the ones in my house, cannot budge.
Our garbage cans come equipped with wheels B)




not really a super power per sé, just note worthy I guess :shrug:

I remember when the wheeled types first appeared in our vicinity and were quickly nicknamed "pisshead carriers" for reasons that were not especially unfathomable...

I'm good at reading people but have very little confidence so I tend to go along with dissenting opinions, and then discover to my cost that I was right all along. I never seem to learn, though.

Consider it universal balance for all the overweight people from Minnesota(*) who go on vacation to Hawaii :biggrin:





(*)arbitrarily chosen state. I do not think that there are more over weight people in Minnesota than elsewhere in the US.

Ohio works as well.
So do the other states..

except Hawaii of course :hehe:

Well going with your avatar, after finding out Springfield is the fattest city in the US, Homer says, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meGgSOl8470 Thus leaving me to believe that Wisconsin is the overweight state we were looking for. Thanks for playing, did you have fun? :P

I can piss anyone off.
I could provoke the Dalai Lama into a frothing rage.
What I'm not so good at is trying to keep this power switched off.

I'm one of those unfortunate "natural born trolls" who has to apply a severe amount of effort NOT to piss everyone off wherever I go. People give away so much in the way they talk, the way they type... little wiggly opportunities just waiting to be exploited... like waving a piece of thread in front of a kitten. So... tempting...
Fortunately, the few friends I do have know that I can actually be quite nice once you learn to ignore all the reflexive provocation.

I love how half of these boards claim to be immune to needing sleep, gaining weight and pain...

I don't have any super powers but I can run pretty freaking fast. Could've been a class sprinter if I'd have put some effort in but I am unfortunately very lazy.

I have the amazing superpower of procrastination. Ask for a month break I'll turn into a year, Need something done? I do it in a week. You want that report done? I'll have it finished a week after its due.

I have a few super powers

I have hyper-mobile knees. I can rotate my lower legs 180 degrees. It routinely freaks people out, especially the Safety Nazis at work. It's particularly fun to see peoples faces when both of my legs are "backwards".

I can clap with one hand. Not kidding.

I can rapidly roll one eye while keeping the other absolutely still. Understandably, this causes some...disorientation.

I can listen to, and follow, up to eight different conversations at once. Makes it fun to eat in pubic... :evil:

I can function even after five days without sleep. (Insomnia counts as a super power, right?)

I can cause a certain type of object to get wetter the more it dries.

I can pat my head, rub my stomach, walk, and chew gum all at once while thinking through large math problems (such as 480 x 186,000).

I can walk right through a wall without causing it any damage.
if all this is true then thats fascinating....i crown you to have the best powers on this thread

I am forge master of the brick factory, I make and hurl figuartive bricks at people. They hurt, but you can build a house out of them to wallow in while crying after being hit.

For those who don't get it, constructive or sometimes destructive cirticism.

I can put 12 ounces of beer in a funnel with a tube attached to it, and drink it all within like... 3 gulps.

I'm like Pop-Eye, but substitute spinach with a different sort of greens and replace super strength with becoming really funny.
