If I could just say learn all of medicine that would make my life easier, if that's too much, to have all the knowledge necessary to pass physicians training would be useful.

- Eidetic memory
- Being outrageously basketball (having a combination of Nash's passing/shooting, Duncan's IQ, Pippen's defense, and Derrick Rose's athleticism would be absolutely great)
- Being outrageously good at parkour

Eternal life if we are accepting realistic jellyfishes, otherwise... So many skills to choose from, I already have very good memory, don't really want to play sport, hacking isn't all that useful when it comes to legal acts, dancing like a boss only can get you so far with the ladies and I think I'll get tired... I think I shall choose being Stephen Fry. Then I can have anything I want.

I wouldn't mind being the same proportions I am now, except eight feet tall... and crazy-stealthy.

Just to scare everyone. :p

I would have Daystar's ability to steal my thoughts. Damn you Daystar!

Other than having writing skills that would put Tolkien, Heinlein, King and Steven Erikson to shame, I would like to become a martial arts (Kung Fu specifically) grand master, including meditation and weapons skills.

Unwavering motivation to get things done. i'm not stupid, but booooy am i unfocused and incredibly proficient at procrastination. if i had that kind of motivation, i could do whatever i set my mind to within logical constraints.

A thousand times this. Lord, how much easier those damn exams would be - especially the stuff I suck at, like linguistics or biochemical soil processes.

Very much this. Being able to clearly remember pretty much anything would be so useful to me, you have no idea how bad my memorization skills are.

Also, Batman's superpower would be nice: landfills full of money, a butler, and my own personal cave.

A university degree (not just the certificate but all the knowledge as well)?
Since tangible/societal things can apparently be included in this, I'd like control over a book publishing house. That way I could write and be published. I'd have to make sure that I didn't get any special treatment besides the automatic interest of my editor, so that I didn't get away with publishing junk or with spelling mistakes... but having people who had to work with me until it was ready to go would be awesome.

You know, as opposed to sending in your manuscript and getting a dear john letter before they even read it.

Immense knowledge of computer programming would help me make money, but to help humanity, vast knowledge of astronomy and/or engineering.

Scott Pilgrim has gained the power of self respect!

... I wish I had a regenerative ability, not unlike Wolvereen but much less op, so like I could break my back an providing that it wasn't too far up and broke that part of the spinal cord (that has a special name but I can't remember and CBF Wikipedia) I would fully heal. And injury should still hurt like shit... fuck it, Metal Bones, keep the uber regen, unbreakable bones.

Anyone know where to go sign up for the Spartan III project?
