I'd really like to be able to do more than one thing at a time. I believe they call that multi-tasking. I thought that when you became a mom, the multi-tasking gene would automatically be triggered. No such luck.

So, I guess I'd want to be able to metamorphosize into someone who could and also have "eyes in the back of my head"! Never got those either.

I would consider having the language capabilities of C-3P0.

Being able to converse in any number of known languages would be out of this world. Maybe not fluent "in over six million forms of communication", but all the known earth languages would be nice.

I'm sure a hero with this ability would come in useful someplace.

Hopefully the attitude doesn't come with it, although I could do with an attitude adjustment also.

Okay, okay-- I know this is off topic, but I can't help myself and I can't move on to my next task (at least not until I get my superhero power) until I know the answer! Where/when/why did the term "snarky" originate? It's not another military anagram, is it?

Lots of definitions of snarky on the interwebs.

WDE.

Or listen to it over and over until it makes you snarky here.

So, then, who are you referring to, girlfriend? [spins on heel and storms off in a huff and a haze of overacted melodrama]

Speaking of superhero's, I always liked the powers of the "FORM OF...!" Wondertwins. I remember an episode where boy-twin did "Form of...a bucket of water". I did a little poo while laughing so hard at that, but it was practical in the situation they were superheroing.

Cheers,
Marc
