flying through the sky would be a pretty sweet skill to have. walking through walls, bending steel rods, or being invisible, also equally sweet.

but most of these skills, as cool as they are, just don’t cut it for me. i’ve always wondered what superhuman powers would be awesomest (well, i probably stopped wondering when i was 12) but either way, these “ordinary” powers just would cut it for me, personally. so i’ve created my top list of eventually superpowers that i’d like.

  • instant temperature hands:i hate when i’m at work and i’m halfway done through my perfect cup of coffee when an ad-hoc meeting drags me away from my forgotton cup, and i come back to learn the coffee is cold. bam, my instant heating hands would be able to reheat food or beverage to an exact temperature as determined by the kelvin scale. all i do is think the digit, and point. also works for cooling warm beer left too close to the grill. pros: hot coffee, ice removal, cold beer. cons: potential catastrophic ice age while cheering for sports teams.
  • hands that hum when you rub them together: one of my favorite powers ever, i’d just love to have hands that hum at roughly 60-70 decibels when i rub them together gently. just imagine the party gags. pros: hands that hum when you run them together. cons: awkward moments caused by rubbing my hands together
  • speaking with animals: yeah, this would be sweet. i could speak with pigeons, or tigers, or squirrelees
  • water into wine: jesus knew how to threw a party. this would work out for me too.

thinking of all these makes me want all of them. just imagine, a dude who can speak with animals, turn water into wine, instantly heat soup from 20 feet away, and can create a humming noise when rubbing his hands together…

oh yeah…
