Poll question: What pointless super power do you have?
Seems like in comic books and movies, super powers just randomly happen. Sadly, not all are actually useful. What super power do you have?

1. I also have the ability to turn completely invisible
at the worst times, such as when I am standing in line, or trying to get credit for something I have done. And sometimes when I am just talking to my friends and family.

I also have a secret lab in my basement and can throw a sai with accuracy. Actually, I'm good with multiple weapons.


That is not a picture of me with sais, but rather some rather creepy looking dude. I'd have to crack out the scanner I haven't touched in years to post a picture of me with a pair of sai.

On edit: It's weird that he's wearing a white belt, since it's an advanced weapon in every style I know of.
