Exactly.

But, since a criminal lifestyle doesnt bother me I'll take Invisibility and be the most successful assassin ever known to man.

Dirty deeds done...very expensively. 😉


Invisibilty FTW!

Flight would be cool for like 3 minutes... then you'd get cold and have trouble breathing at altitude, and realize it really doesn't have much utility. Invisibility, on the other hand... :evil:

No body says you have to cruise at 60,000ft man you could glide to work every moring at 500ft. Flying would never get old.. it's a 3d world you're moving around in then. Plus direct ruotes everywhere...

Now invisability would get old pretty quick.. infact I can't think what you'd even use it for cept stealing.. ok got 20 million out of banks first week, now what? You still can't fly.🙂

Yeah, looking at naked people really stays fun for a long time.
 
There are 2 things people are forgetting..............



#1.) Flight at what speed???? 2mph?? Floating???




#2.) Invisible only = Invisible. It does not = Silent! All of the sneaking around one were to do would prove pretty pointless to 99.9% of ATOT considering nobody's mastered the art of "pure silence!".

Yeah, but your own private LEARJET certainly does...and takes the babes with you without your arms getting tired...

Besides, if they can see when you spit, I'm sure they'd notice a flying load of semen shooting across the room out of nowhere 😛

OP states "up to 1000 miles an hour without harm". That's like Ludicrous Speed.

This would never get old in Hollywood 😀 What about heckling and otherwise harassing a certain chimplike government official at his speeches, despite the fact he needs no help looking stupid? :laugh: However much money I want, when I want it, no problem... Could even look into the possibility of a trip to space, how cool would that be? Ok granted that last one's a long shot, depending on the specifics of the invisibility, but whatever, the possibilities are endless. Flying is just so one-dimensional, I couldn't see it holding my interest for long. Not to mention you really wouldn't have to be very high up for the chill to affect you... You'd also get some very weird looks flying around in a parka. And our government would likely trap you and perform tests on you for the rest of your life.
 
God forbid invisibility ever becomes possible in the year 20xx. All of the stalkers come out of the woodwork. 😛

If you wanted to scare/annoy/whatever George Bush or any other famous person, you'd still have to find him. Even if you just stay outside of the White House all day and do manage to find him, it probably wouldn't be long until his bodyguards start wearing goggles to detect your heat, and then you'd be in trouble. Stealing doesn't appeal to me, and a trip to space? Eh, it might be possible to sneak into a NASA base, but I have a feeling that it wouldn't be as easy as simply walking in while the doors are still open.
