Your superpowers : Othor Games

Allegedly, we are all special on the inside. However, what makes you special on the outside? Something that makes you stand out?

Me, I have a pair of hypermobile elbows. Really useful at freaking out people. I sometimes use it, humorously, as "my elbows extend unnaturally. Your argument is invalid" in real life conversations

I'm a warrior. I'm able to give more and receive more punishment that most, and I have a high power to weight ratio. :tongue:

Is that how it's done?

I am able to conjure mighty winds from my buttocks with which I can blow away my enemies.

I can drink from any cup that doesn't have a hole in it, and not spill.

» Sun May 13, 2012 6:31 pm

I can walk on ice without slipping...

I'm pretty hairy. I'm able to withstand cold climes that most people couldn't. Hypothermia and frostbite is for lesser people.

» Sun May 13, 2012 4:42 pm

I have a powerful odour.

» Sun May 13, 2012 6:50 pm

I can eat more steaks and drink more beer then everyone I know, and I'm not overweight at all.

I can sleep through a thunderstorm no problem, yet wake up immediately when someone approaches to speak to me.

I can sneeze upwards of 17 times in a row.

I can spin a lie on the spot and have everyone buy it. My one weakness, however, is that no one will believe me when I tell the truth.

I want to be you!

I myself don't really have any good powers. I can eat a lot I suppose and my hair grows very fast. I wish I could lie. If I try, even if I plan it out ahead, my face ends up getting all contorted and really obvious I am lying.

Like Robbio, I can conjure powerful smelly magic missiles from my backside. Destruction magic at its finest.

That reminds me of one time my roomates were telling me they heard gunshots in middle of the night the next day, and I slept soundly through it. I knew I had to be well rested for my next day anyway.

Also occasionally I can pee of upwards of 5 min at a time. I won't know this unless I time myself, because it seems to make me lose sense of time.

Its not much, but I can get a Runners High (http://www.lehigh.edu/~dmd1/sarah.html), usually much quicker then most.

I never really liked running, but once your Endorphins kick in, it feels like nothing can stop you. One of the greatest feelings in the world.

» Sun May 13, 2012 7:01 pm

I'm the opposite of runner's high, but that actually makes me run faster.

» Sun May 13, 2012 3:41 pm

In my early teens I was the Earth line of defense againist meteor showers, damn I was headshot'd so much back then.

I can shake my eyes, not just roll them around but literally shake them frankly this freaked my mum and loads of others out, yet they'd always want to see it, great party trick

I can shake my head super fast if I want to, and keep my eyes locked on you. Doesn't look right, and I won't do it anymore as an effort not to seem too strange. :tongue:

Ahh! Dead space flash back!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlXQ4yN5Cuw to know what I'm talking about.

If I had a high quality camera I'd show you want I mean but they move that fast it just looks like blurs.

II can sneeze upwards of 17 times in a row.

I don't envy that one! Five or six times is bad enough.

Its not much, but I can get a Runners High (http://www.lehigh.edu/~dmd1/sarah.html), usually much quicker then most.

I never really liked running, but once your Endorphins kick in, it feels like nothing can stop you. One of the greatest feelings in the world.

I tend to be at the opposite end of the scale and don't get any sort of endorphin rush at all. I've found that physical exercise has always been a rather miserable and depressing pursuit.

In terms of what I do have, my joints are quite bendy and I have a degree of double-jointedness (though not my elbows as in the OP's example, which was rather freaky). Less so with age, though I still seem to be more flexible than most people.

Then you shall become my arch-nemesis, and I will name you "Runner's Low".

Prepare thyself for a marathon. :evil:

I can tell you the capital of Hungary but not the location of Arkansas. My geography is shotty, at best.

No superpowers I can think of... yet. :batman:

» Sun May 13, 2012 11:05 am

I can nearly set off car alarms when I blow my nose. It is not polite at all for me to do it when other humans are present.

Fus Do Rah ? ----- HA!
Peanuts folks...small time...and no mistake.

And I can do a jazz improvization with it...in the mixalodian scale in several keys...particularly E flat...that causes dogs and other small critters to break into spontaneous caterwauling.
I like to think they're harmonizing.

I can tell you the capital of Hungary but not the location of Arkansas.

Me too.

/looks up Arkansas in Google Maps

And I can miss any target with my bow.

» Sun May 13, 2012 8:26 pm

I don't blink.

» Sun May 13, 2012 6:00 pm

I can bend my thumbs back pretty far. That's...about it.

» Sun May 13, 2012 7:30 pm

I can shake my eyes too lol. So funny to trip people out. It is great when listening to some pump up music or metal though!

I am also ambidexturous and most of my joints are double jointed. So I am pretty flexible. Yet they are not absurdly so. I can still maintain a good deal of strength in them.

My best "power" however is my ability to "wing it". I am a very good person to have around when unexpected crap goes down. Helps that I can lie with a straight face and spin a good yarn I think.
