Reasons not to be a superhero
Who agrees that this is Laugh-Worthy? I thought it was funny (Found it in my old files from a year ago lol) Reasons not to be a super hero If you could only choose one super power, what would it be? One that would be good to choose would be Super Speed, except if you were moving at almost the speed of light, every time you impacted an air molecule it would release 1/100th of the power of an atom bomb, so you would also need invincibility and some way to control that, so since you can only choose one that can't be it. The next choice could be to be able to lift anything, but again with that control issue. If you could lift say a house, you'd impact the ground and be sent under the soil and again without invincibility you'd get ground up by the dirt and have dug your own grave. With super blowing, since lung capacity is so small you would use all your air in seconds, with the chance to blow out your lungs. If you knew everything that would ruin the whole point in life because you could no longer advance in anything, so that doesn't work either. If you could read minds you'd be rendered useless because if there was a problem there would be so much confusion you couldn't control it and you would be forced to go mad. Being stretchy wouldn't work either. You would keep getting thinner until the air in your lungs were squeezed out because according to Einsteins theory of Relativity you would have to only be using what you already have in your body and nothing else. Immortality is even worse than all the rest. The human brain can only judge time by what has already happened. The more there is to compare to, the less now will seem. As a baby, one will seem as if the time is taking forever. To someone of a prime age, time will seem to slip by in many occasions but still go slow when you can't get by it. The Elderly's time slips by as if a week is a day. If you were to live longer than 150 years, probability states that days could seem as minutes. After a time, Centuries would seem as seconds, and one would be forced to live their life with no sense to time and no control because a brain cannot do a years worth of living in a second of control. (Okay, I fudged it a little there) X-ray vision, your pupils would be dilated to the place you're looking at which is most likely all dark, so the light in the room you already had would burn out your eyes. (Just a theory.) Anyone else who thinks that this is funny besides me :P *lol*?

This reminds me of piece I read a long time ago about buttered toast and cats. Don't ask me how I made the connection from superheros to buttered cats *lol* [quote] 1. If you drop a buttered piece of toast it will fall on the floor butter-side down. 2. If a cat is dropped from a window or other high and towering place, it will land on its feet. But what if you attach a buttered piece of bread, butter-side up to a cat's back and toss them both out the window? Will the cat land on its feet? Or will the butter splat on the ground? The Laws of Butterology demand that the butter must hit the ground, and the equally strict Laws of Feline Aerodynamics demand that the cat can not smash its furry back. If the combined construct were to land, nature would have no way to resolve this paradox. Therefore it simply does not fall. In other words, we have the makings of antigravity. A buttered cat will, when released, quickly move to a height where the forces of cat-twisting and butter repulsion are in equilibrium. This equilibrium point can be modified by scraping off some of the butter, providing lift, or removing some of the cat's limbs, allowing descent. [/quote]

The one about the speed of light is approximately true (Not exactly 1/100th but close), the super blowing is likely, but the others aren't tested. --- Step outside, take a breath of fresh air, then look down to see if you have a new text message.
