What is the closest thing you have to a super power in real life.

Naturally, I'm going to have to question a few things on here. Like your intellect, or at least common sense. Why? Well I've never been hit by a bus, because I look before I cross the road. Unlike someone...LordSnakeEyes said:
Or maybe eyesight is your downfall, because, c'mon, how the hell else do you get hit head-on by a bus?!?
(this was a joke just so you know, although I would like to know about the bus.)
I have a higher range of hearing than most people. Most powerful electronics make a high-pitched hum; I can tell if a TV is on before I can hear or see what is on it.
I have the power to make "that's what she said" jokes often enough that my friends know me for them, but not so often that they get annoyed.
I have ninja-like stealth, in that I can walk up a creaky staircase in the middle of the night and people still don't hear me coming.
I can pop most of my joints: knuckles, fingers, toes, knees, elbows, shoulders, neck, spine, ankles, and occasionally my jaw.

Hindsight...I'm pretty good at that.
Also I can rant about anything for hours no matter how pointless, bizarre, or back-wards, its an ability that has saved my ass countless times throughout my school career. Its truly wonderful when you can start talking about the Industrial State of Modernized Economies, have read 1 page of information 30 minutes beforehand, and talk for an hour and a half.
Unfortunately my powers have a dark-side that manifests itself when ever somebody begins to take a stance on a subject, I begin to use my superior powers of bullshitting to argue with them, whether I agree with them or not. Its led to some interesting conversations about how WW2 was the best thing to ever happen, how Gandhi was actually worse then Hitler, and about how Ayn Rand was a good author and philosopher.

I'm actually extremely hyperdextrous (double-jointed), so I guess one could say that I have the power to disconnect my joints at will. *whooooooh*
Hmm, I have a tendency to 'zone-out' whenever I let myself, and when I do get this hyper-alertness yet hyper-dense kind of reaction.
As an example, I completely miss making the connection when my girlfriend was clearly hinting that she wanted me to stop the car so that she could buy some snacks from a road side stall, yet 30 seconds later I connected an obscure hint to her saying "I've got a company event that I'll be attending so you don't have to come pick me up".
But I mostly get this when I'm gaming. When playing a 4 player split-screen HALO match on a friend's Xbox, I quickly started to zone-out, started laughing like a maniac, and went on to beat each and every one of them in every round for the next 2 hours whether it be a free-for-all or I'm paired with the worst of my 3 friends in a 2 vs 2 match. And this was my first time playing an FPS on a console, let alone Halo... But in all this, I didn't notice them giving me weird looks and this little kid that came to watch as I went about blowing them to smithereens.

Well i have amazing hearing, and i think i'm extremely lucky.
I can fly too, but i don't count that...

I was hit by the bus because it slipped onto the sidewalk while I wasn't looking. It hit my head 1st (hence head first).captain awesome 12 said:Naturally, I'm going to have to question a few things on here. Like your intellect, or at least common sense. Why?

My eyesight isn't my failing (it's 20/20) it's called a blindspot (aka the other 180 degrees people don't have eyes for XD) it honked it horn, but it was too late...
(Stupid winter... stupid bus driver... stupid boulevard speed limits... But I'm Immortal so it's ok)
Whereas my intellect shouldn't be questionned, it's sadly too much of a fact to deny. Trust me, I wish I was dumb (long story).
I'd have to say my weakness is my ego, because even though it's entirely justified, it's quite big (and so I maintain the light-hearted outlook of your response XD).
I have the uncanny ability to turn any word or phrase into sexual innuendo. Its more handy than you think.
my family has a wierd curse in which whenever we go somewhere, theres a chance soemthing...bad... might happen (but the family member themself is unharmed) looots of examples: my aunt, goes to Shrilanka, tsunami's happen. My sister, goes to Russia, terrorist bombs destroy 2 Russian planes. My dad, goes to America, tornado happens. Myself, goes to Cornwall, massive floods occur.
etc etc.
etc etc.
