Invisibility = even though you have a high chance of commiting crimes, you still have a high risk of getting sniffed or get caught with heatvision... Also, a lot of people will wonder your whereabouts...

Flying = Damn its fun... Until you reach a very high altitude where you can't breathe.

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. 😉


very true....but i dont know...flying still holds more of an appeal to me.....oh what am i saying....f that....voyeurism for the win....invisibility it is
 
Flying would make a person one hell of a courier.

Imagine what kind of stories you could reveal if you were any invisble journalist
 
Flying would be cool. You could explore the sky and see lots of unique things plus it would be an experience no one else would have felt. Chicks would probably love to be taken flying assuming you could pull someone with you (like superman). But you'd probably be hunted by governments or jelous people due to the fact that your flying would immediatly stand out.

Invisibility opens up a number of possibilities. First, theres the obvious chick side of things, I'm pretty sure that would never in a million years get old. Next there is the contract killer jobs, you'd probably be able to pull just about any odd job off. Then there is ground exploration, you could go just about anywhere see just about any building. Want to be at the choosing of the next pope? Boom travel to Rome and stroll inside. Yea, you probably aren't perfectly silent at the beginning, but I'm sure you could get that way after a little practice and the right set of footwear. Even if you made a noise, someone investigating it would shrug it off as the house settling (unless you fell down the stairs or something retarded).
 
Flight. No more waiting at the gate or TSA.

And I read the short by Fredrik Brown about the guy who discovered invisibility. The blind eunuchs in the harem killed him. The guy who invented invulnerbility got too cocky and the nuclear blast he stood next to launched him to the sun, but he sufficated before he got there anyway, but he wasn't hurt. The guy who discovered immortality waited too long before taking it. He slipped into a coma and forgot that the germs in him were also immortal. Once the Russians figured out what had happened and could not change it, they just buried him.

Angels and Spaceships - I had not thought about that since about 1977. Maybe they have it at Amazon...
 
question: do we have to be naked to be invisible?

cuz wut if it's like 20degrees outside, ud have to walk around with ur johnson hanging out, and it'd be a frozen icicle. if it's like an invisible cloak/suit i'm down.
 
invisibility sounds fun...

but I would like to fly. ill fly in reverse direction of the world for awhile and turn the time back.. save louis.. 😀
 
Invisibility = easy to be a thief, spy, or assassin, which translates to easy money.

The power of flight without any other powers is meaninless. W00t! You can fly. First person who knows how to use a rifle is going to take you out.

There's quite a difference between shooting a low-flying duck moving at roughly 50mph and a person several hundred feet high moving at 500mph.

If one was able to fly at 1000 miles an hour, one would need lightning fast reflexes, fast enough to avoid meaningless bullets. Mwahaha.
