I love listening to shows on This American Life & this morning I listened to last week's show, "Superpowers."
If you don't want to listen to the entire hour long show, you should definitely listen tot he first 20 mins about people debating over whether they want the power of invisibility or flight. Sounds lame, I know, but trust me, you'll find it very interesting.
So yeah, the consensus was that most people will say they want flight, but you know they'd take invisibility when it came down to it b/c there's so much more perverted & sneaky things you can do when you're invisible. Some dude said, "invisibility is for fearful masturbators." hah. A little harsh. If it makes you feel any better, a lady said, "flight is for people who have nothing to hide."
just think of the possibilites!!! and, if you are Deviod of thought....
Check Out the Scene in "Hollow Man" with Rhona Mitra...
but in seriousness, id rather be able to disapeer at will, think about being able to spy on anyone you want at anytime!!!
you could have THE BEST Gossip EVER...think about howmuch money you couldmake that way?
you could see who say Petra Nemcova is REALLY fucking...james blunt or Bruce Willis...
i dont think ill even have to talk about the "perv" possibilities...
i just think the possibilties for Invisibility are limitless. Flying is just kinda boring, granted you cant do it at will, but you CAN get on a plane and fly to other places. i dont see how flying is of any REAL benifit. Plus im scaredofheights.
i'm a crouching fearful masturbater, so invisibility and how does flight get this great reputation? people with nothing to hide my ass People who don't want to face their problems is more like it. people who would rather not know that everyone at the office hates their guts grow a backbone you spineless weaklings!
Invisible, I don't know why, but I don't like planes, so why the hell would I like flying? Besides, I can pretend I'm like Smeigel and slip on and off my wedding band all the while saying, "my presssssssssssssssssssshis" and going invisible and coming back each time I pulled it on and off. I bet it'd mess with some people's minds. They'd be all there like, "Hey, where'd he... Oh. Wait! Oh... Now god. dammit, I.... Wait. Noooooooooooooo!" *mind melts* Security: 'come along sir, the brain mushers want to see you now'
do you think if i bought one of those rings and proceeded to believe i was invisible, and went out to places acting like that, do u think people would get i was trying to be quirky, and view it as a paradoy of Ed Begly Jr in Amazon Women on the moon, or, do u think the authorities would bust me for being a pervert?
Speaking of who petra nemcova is sleeping with I just found out who that James Blunt guy was last night now i'd like to kill him twice once for that ridiculously lame song and once for sleeping with petra nemcova It seems like, in music anyway, the fewer chances you take the more famous you become depressing
I bet this whorebag caught Petra one day when she was mourning over her Tsunami loss.
Possible convo (there might be others, so shoot away)
JB: oh petra, waht's wrong...? PN: Oh nothing, just thinking about the tsunami again... JB: Oh no...let me give you a hug. Come here. PN: Aaaw, you're so nice (show typical petra nemcova kindness) JB: Petra, I have the perfect song that will make you happy PN: oh my god, i would love that. JB: Sings PN: oh my god, i love that so much. JB: What's that scar?
An hour after exploring random scars on Petra Nemcova's body....sex w/ The Petra Nemcova.
The guy was just in the right place @ the right time. Damn him to hell.
BTD you are right on with the jeff buckley observation. I don't know what the hell it is I know the cure though Ted Nugget, he is the anti-James Blunt
I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, "Come and see!" And behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow. And he came forth to conquor and he shot his exploding arrows and sang "cat scratch fever"
