Time Manipulation rocks. Hrmm, the only bad thing would be that I would use it so much, that when I should be 25, I'd really be like 80. So, while we manipulate time, can we not age?


Edit: And imagine how good I would be, I'd own the stock market.

If there's no aging I'm going to go with time manipulation too.

your mind isn't pervy enough. pr0n on pause? that no good!

Freeze time, walk in and find a good hiding place :) Someone sees you? Freeze time, leave.

oh, freeze time would be good for the groppin:)

Wait...how would water react when time is frozen, since anything moving comes to a halt (aka cells, etc).

's what I thought, too. in fact, moving something would be theoretically impossible, as it's moving X distance in 0 time (so would it be teleportation? nah, I just think you would either 1) not be able to move it at all or 2) your hand would tear through the material with infinite speed, and it would tear off your hand.)

I'd much rather choose flight. time manipulation is much more dangerous, and wouldn't come in handy as much (for ethical uses, anyways).

You're taking this too seriously, stop being a geek for a second :D

Anyone remember the part of last Simpsons Treehouse of Horror where Bart and Millhouse got that clock? Basically, all living (except you) goes on "pause" and rest of the world continues to function normally.

I'd take Letterman's ability to always have the "just right" letter ot 2 on his sweater which he can remove and change reality... For instance, for all you time manipulators out there, I'd take the 'o' off my chest and turn you all into 'tOme manipulators" instead. Now instead of changing time, you have amazing powers of manipulating books.

And I take the 'r' off my sweater and change all you geeks into greeks. You are better off that way anyway...

I win. Thank-you for playing!

Hey guys, i just got home.. i can't believe that a thread of mine got so big... i'm so proud :)

Actually i messed up because i added the option of TIME MANIPULATION after MisterJackson's first post, i guess we can repeat this poll in a year or so and include MIND CONTROL as an option as well

Only one person voted for Superhuman COMPUTER Software/Hardware skills, i wonder who that was.. :confused:
