If you get superpowers and decide to commit crimes with them, make sure to wear a brightly colored, exotic outfit that will stand out in any crowd. It’s not like you have any need to be inconspicuous.

That thing I did at the petting Zoo, with the vodka and the nail clippers,

Worried that an e-mail you’ve just received addressed to “dear valued customer” is actually phishing? Only one way to be sure … click on the link, post all your personal information, and see what happens!
If you’re a spy, don’t worry about misplacing sensitive documents. Some nice person will return them-and people generally are polite enough to not to read them. And no ethical nation would use them for their own purposes.
