Flight or Invisibility?
Listening to a “best-of” installment of This American Life, I heard this two-year-old segment “Invisible Man vs. Hawkman” (forward to 6:00 minutes into the Real Audio file) in which commentator John Hodgman describes how for recent years his favorite small-talk starter at parties is to ask people whether, if they could have a super power, would the chose the ability to fly or invisibility. Thoughts?
UPDATE:
I know I don’t normally use comments, but I’ve switched to using HaloScan, which seems to work better than Enetation, which, in addition to having a stupid name, is very flaky in my experience. So, anyway, I’m back to trying to use comments selectively.
But here’s the main reason I am reluctant to use comments: this post has been up for several days and no comments so far. What’s up, people? Would you prefer flight or invisibility as a superpower? That’s a perfectly valid question!
