Apparently mine is to be able to post to the SDMB more often than anyone else for a sustained period. Though **DtC **and **John Mace **are not too far behind me and have been at it even longer.
English language spelling, realistic drawing, and being able to see details of things which are very, very very far away. Oh and the ability to keep my arm straight no matter what, except my husband defeated this superpower by tickling my armpit, so I guess it doesn’t count anymore.
As to the OP…
I’ve got a “real” superpower, though I’m not exactly sure how it came about. Whenever I hear a standalone noise - it doesn’t work, say, in a crowded mall; it has to be some sound that stands out on its own - I can “see” it. Not like synaesthia, where sounds have colors and such, but more like the old Batman tv show. “Pow!” “Zoom!” “Thunk!” And all of that. It’s actually quite amusing, but I’ve had to explain it to folks when I laugh for no apparent reason, and then I get :dubious: :dubious: :dubious: looks from them. shrug Ah, well. I like it, and that’s all I care about!
When I get angry or upset, I break out in hives. I count this as a mutant super-power in progress. Soon, I’ll master it. Then, when I get angry or upset, I’ll make other people break out in hives!
Or maybe just I’ll just turn green, I dunno…but watch out!
My superpower is the ability to find a great parking spot 95% of the time. Not a mediocre spot, a great spot. Usually right by the door. I call it Park-Fu, and it amazes everyone who rides with me. Park-Fu is useless during sporting events and Christmas shopping season though. It’s one reason I don’t shop after Thanksgiving.
My superpower is the ability to never get lost. I can find my way just about anywhere, even if I’ve never been to that particular city.
It works better in the woods though. I can find my way to creeks, rivers, and lakes, even if there’s no evidence around that any of those things are nearby.
My superpower is the ability to start sweating and to sweat profusely at the first signs of heat. I like to think that it if I were ever running away from someone, the sweat would help me get out of anyone’s grasp quickly because I’d be so slick so quickly.
Sadly, this superpower is generally ok in men, but in women, it’s not so sexy. Fortunately, it usually only happens when I work out.
I can tie a cherry stem into a knot in my mouth. It’s not as cool as that sweating thing, of course, but we must all learn to appreciate our own abilities.
My husband has parking mojo. Wherever we go, especially if we’re running late, a parking spot right in front will either be open as we approach or someone will pull out just as we drive up. It’s spoooooky.
