I sleep with a wild animal curled up around my ankle. Even more amazing, that wild animal is a bird.

I can effortlessly embarrass and annoy my teenagers, without even being in the same room OR playing a whistle!
Every time I turn around, I wonder where I've been.
Time to stop turning round, I guess.

Well, sure, but does anyone eat it?

Hell yes, that's why it's called a "super power" and not a "weinie butt power."

I used to be able to magically summon buses by the ritual incineration of tobacco
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Perfect pitch for the song of a sentence.

I have the power of invisibility and often accidentally scare the behoosis out of people when I reappear.

I have refrained from beating a session member to death with his own instrument-so far, anyway.

I can cook and enjoy eating my own meals. My friends seem to enjoy my cooking as well (as long as they like olive oil and garlic).

I'm sure I can make any session of talented musicians stop and stare at me. And I can do it with any musical instrument. Long ago, I decided i should never use this power in public.

Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

That's funny--I can make my phone ring by taking a nap.

In my case, it's more of a weeniebutt power. I think.

This week I suddenly acquired the superpower of Wacom Intuos 3!

This superpower is available for purchase at Amazon.com

My husband says "Now if only this power could be used for the forces of good..."

Which one of your flock does that? I have a couple that might fall asleep on me, but not with me......What's really weird is to realize that they're basically dinosaurs. You have dinosaurs in your bed!!! :boggle:
