Knowing the answer and understanding it are 2 diferent things.
question: The answer to life, the universe and everything.
answer: 42
understand ??
I think you're pushing the power into metaquestions
I'm thinking of more pedestrian questions like
where did I leave my car keys
is that lottery ticket under the glass a winner
where is osama bin laden
who killed jfk
what is the cellphone number of >insert famous person here<
do I have cancer
is my mechanic's diagnosis an accurate one...
TRIBBLE that. what's wrong with my car
how much will it cost to fix it
how do i fix it myself
ah yes. i forgot about power number 2. change the physical properties of anything i touch, which means poof. my dirty filter is clean, my flat tire is mended. my car battery is fully charged. my toast is perfectly cooked... nice warm fresh fries... unbruised bananas...
who murdered our victim and where is he hiding right now
where is the kidnapped child and are they alive
did someone put something in my fast food cheeseburger that doesnt belong there?
why did I just buy a cheeseburger when I could have turned a rock into a cheeseburger instead?
whats the best stock to invest in today...
is there life on other planets? that we could communicate with? where?
I mean I could have fun for an eternity with this stuff.
You dont get much use out of asking rhetorical bs like 'how many roads must a man walk down'... you could have some dangerous fun with things like 'what happened before the big bang.' is there a god and is he listening when I pray'... but you know... thats why theres a thought box... some questions you can go without knowing for a pretty long time.
The second power could be extended in simple ways like 'if I answer the is this towel dirty' and it comes back a yes... I use the second power to make the dirty towel a clean towel. No more laundry day... Dirty pan? Clean pan. Tooth need a filling? Not anymore! Dog is growing old? Puppy again! Lets go play ball! Or maybe today I want my puppy to be a siberian tiger...
'if I answer the do I have cancer question and it comes back 'yes' I can use power 2 to simply say 'i'm altering myself to be cancer free.' And while i'm at it... 4% bodyfat...
Instead of saying something that raises suspicion like 'i'm turning these pennies into gold bullion' which is going to raise some eyebrows at some point... or saying 'I'm going to turn this 1951 penny into a 1951 buick.(but what happens if I get pulled over without the right paperwork!?!) instead I'm taking a half missing barn find 1967 pontiac gto and when I touch it the physical properties i'm changing are 'I want this car to be in the condition it was when it rolled off the showroom floor.'
Voila. Then it's documented. Depending on what details exist on the car already I can phs certify it. I could spend a lot of time restoring old cars... might have to doctor up some financials for 'expense of parts and all that' but I could convincingly 'front' a classic car repair shop and get rich with taxable traceable dollars that nobody would be suspicious of.
And in my spare time I could phone in anonymous tips to rescue kidnapped children, prank call celebrities and use my powers to hobnob with the jet set.... Visit hospitals or old folks homes or vet clinics... little less alzheimers here... little less cardiac plaque there... no more smokers lung for you... keep it straight this time, got me? Wheeee!
One of my favorite answers to this game was from a coworker...
He only chose one power and that was 'to always be happy'
he's like... everything everyone wants is just an avenue by which to become happy... why not cut to the chase and just wish to always be happy.
we're like so... you want your power to be that no matter if you're starving or in agony or dying or your loved one's are having their teeth kicked in... Your power is that you will regardless of circumstance be locked into a constant state of happy... and therefore you're good to go?
I'm not entirely on board with that but hey. I suppose thats a perfectly valid way to go.
Alright, this hearkens back to my college days when I would go around asking oddball questions to random people.
So! Without further adieu, if you could have two superhero powers, but one weakness, what would they be?
The power to juggle an infinite amount of objects
The power to throw things with absolute pinpoint accuracy
But I'm allergic to meat.
1> Immortality; I wish to never age or die!
2> Flight; I would love to fly across the sky and venture space at my own will!
Weakness> Ice Cream; although, I already possess this weakness!

I want precognition (like, I can tell when people are about to shoot me and which way I should dodge precognition) and superhuman strength. But my powers don't work against Star Trek Online devs and attractive women.

Powers-
Ability to understand Shakespeare perfectly.
Ability to write great literature like Shakespeare.
Weakness-
Inability to get with the times. Meaning, inability to not talk like Shakespeare.
Knowing the answer and understanding it are 2 diferent things.
question: The answer to life, the universe and everything.
answer: 42
understand ??
But that's what the Question is about. That's not what the Question is.
"There is one school of thought that believes that if the Question and the Answer were both known at the same time, the entire universe would instantly vanish, to be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another which holds that this has already happened."
Now, an analysis of Arthur's brain patterns (that is, randomly pulling Scrabble tiles out of a bag) resulted in the Question, "What do you get when you multiply six by nine?", but it should also be remembered that the massive organic computer program of which Arthur was a part was corrupted when the Golgafrinchan B Ark crashlanded on it just as intelligent life was forming, so their Question would have been wrong.
My power?
The ability to alter the laws of physics to do whatever the hell I wanted, in a small (slightly larger than man sized) bubble. I could, stop a car by making the bonds that hold the gearbox together "take a break" so that its constituent atoms simply dissipate like a gas for a lack of bonds holding them together.
Or perhaps make gravity go "WTF?!" and make that car so heavy that it overwhelms the suspension, or so light that it just floats away. Perhaps I could cause pain by taking a person by the hand and causing the atoms to excite, making them uber hot.
The weakness? Short fuse, so when I lose my f***ing sh*t I lose control of those powers. and I'm jewish, so bacon would have none of its magical healing powers
Power 1: Ability to regenerate from any death at all.
Power 2: A complete immunity to telepathy.
Weakness: See power 1, living longer than the sun etc.
Yeah, that could be a problem when the enemy buries you alive, or gives you "concrete galoshes" and drops you into the Marianas Trench. :eek: Still, I suppose you could fight your way slowly out over a few centuries...if you've not gone mad by then.
Power: Power to break, cancel and disable all superpowers and Power-related actions and phenomenas. Just so I can troll all of you
Disadvantage: Well my power is very limited, this is an disadvantage
Hast thou not gone against sincerity
Hast thou not felt ashamed of thy words and deeds
Hast thou not lacked vigor
Hast thou exerted all possible efforts
Hast thou not become slothful
Yeah, that could be a problem when the enemy buries you alive, or gives you "concrete galoshes" and drops you into the Marianas Trench. :eek: Still, I suppose you could fight your way slowly out over a few centuries...if you've not gone mad by then.
Or encases me in concrete completely, or drops me in a volcano.
Still the challenge would be nice, plus I don't need to physically beat my enemies, I'll just outlive them .
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.
