What is your secret super power?
 
I used to think that I was "Rain Man" in that I could control the likelyhood
of rain by virtue of wether there was a project I needed to get done. At
other times, I began to believe that I was "Requires Stiches Man", a persona
which usually manisifeted near the end of a project.

I have come, in time, to discover that I am in fact "Garbage Pickup Man",
because I can control when the guys show up to retrieve my garbage. If I
wait until morning to put my garbage out then they, by the force of my
superower, will show up one half hour before I wake. If I put out my
garbage the night before, then they do not show until mid -afternoon,
assuring that every dog in the neighbothood will have a shot at covering my
lawn with my own refuse.

I had hoped for some cool power like invisibility, or the power of mind
control, but I guess I will live with "Garbage Pickup Man" for now. Does
anyone else have some sort of superpower? Maybe, "Broken Bandsaw Blade at
9:01 at Night Man", or "Air Gun Trigger Breaks One Nail Into Project Man".

Just wondering.

I am "SomeOneWantsAFrenchHornNow" guy. I can go for months without making
one and then I get the urge to start bending and right away someone contacts
me wanting one.

I have the power to, by merely dropping it as little as an inch, send
a wrench or screwdriver rocketing across the shop at such velocity as to
render the tool momentarily invisible. I can temporarily disable this
awesome power by chanting, "Hey, watch this!"

Ouch, no, you won't. It's a very good pro-gun piece which is 30
minutes long. Go watch it with a broadband-enabled friend. You'll love
it.

The PETA BULL**** piece is equally good. I didn't know PETA was
against -anyone- owning -any- pets, and I'll bet 95% of their
supporters don't, either. And what's their corporate 10x15' walk-in
freezer full of, hmmm?

I can cause any product or service to go on sale just by purchasing it a
week earlier at full price.

I have the power to find a missing tool by going out and buying another just
like it.

I'm either invisible or can cure blindness. Neighbors who haven't
called or waved in a year, are suddenly on the front porch after a
crisis. 9-11 sound familiar?

I, so badly, wanted to send them out for all the bananas they could
find. Level headed wife nixed that.

I can make the price of silver or gold go up just by selling some.
Likewise, I can make it go down by buying some. [1]

[1] Note that this power doesn't seem to be working lately; I"m buying,
_and_ it's going up.

Heh. I just bought a new digital camera because the old one had been
missing for a couple of months. 2 weeks later, guess what?

It's only funny because it's so damn predictable.
