Do you have Special Powers?
 
My son's school motto is: "No-one can do everything, but everyone can do something." When I first saw this, displayed on a big sign outside the school, I said to my wife I thought that it was very true because, after all, our son can get his big toe in his ear.

I also know a woman who can curdle milk just by looking at it.

Is there anything peculiar that you can do with your body, or do you know someone else with special abilities, out of the ordinary, like?

I have an uncanny ability to put my foot in my mouth at the most unfortunate moments.

Uri Geller is a parlor-trick magician who managed to con people into believing he has special powers. His Special Power is to bilk people out of millions of dollars.

I don't believe he has special powers either. I'd pay money to see him get his big toe in his ear, though. Bet he can't do that...

Aye, James Randi and Johnny Carson exposed him in 1973:

I can change my own flat tires without calling AAA.

I can use the universal remote control without needing all the others around.

I can figure out the change from a dollar without a calculator.

I can read signs posted on doors and alongside freeways.

I can figure out what food is by reading the labels instead of pointing and asking.

I can find my way someplace without needing a GPS on my phone.



All these would seem to be super powers today......... :88)

I have the ability to on occasion do something without thinking that is incredibly stupid and deadly and come away relatively unharmed.

For example when I was 12 or so I was walking around in my backyard playing around with model F4U Corsair I had just finished. I happened across this old aquarium that was turned upsidedown. I thought to myself excellent an Imperial Japanese Navy flattop. So I kicked this aquarium turned aircraft carrier it however it did not break the glass. So I got the outstanding idea to stand on top of the glass. Well to my dismay it did break the imaginary flattop deck. Of course this also also meant that my foot and leg fell through the very real glass and I got cut pretty badly but not as bad as could have been.

Of course I have reason to believe that every one has this power they just do not admit it.

My father-in-law told me this afternoon that his father was ambidextrous. I asked whether this meant he could saw up a piece of wood with one hand whilst banging in nails with the other. No it didn't, he said (this is where I got the idea for this thread).

When I met my wife she was a radical 'woman's libber', after 33 years of being with yours truly, she's a convert MCP.

Now that takes Unversal Special Powers.
:haha:
