Useless Superpowers!

I was cruising the nets today and I found something really funny. Do you want a superpower? What if the super radioactive gamma rays ended up bestowing a superpower on you that you couldn't actually use? Behold, the humor of the Spanish-speaking peoples:

Here's a translation!

Acid Tears
Invisible in the Dark
Controlling the TV control
Speaking to fruits
Detecting Trash
75% of levitation
Turning on lamps
Attracting Bullets
Read your own mind
Instant Baldness
Anormal Hair Growth
Attraction of Bad Luck
Super-Slowness
Bring dead bugs back to life
Ultra-Fast Aging
Insivible Writing
Super-Strength of 1 second
Turning into a Laptop
Seducing Hats
Desaturation

I personally would like the ability to turn into a laptop. My Spanish-speaking friend would like to be invisible in the dark, because, as she says, "being invisible any time would be useful. Even in the dark." I guess that makes sense.

I sold my books back to the school today. I had a lot of them, like 12 or something. But I only got $74 back. Dumb. The reason it's so little is because I only got $1 or $2 back for the smaller books. It's like robbery. Sigh.

Today I helped a guy with a speech about fuel-effiecient cars. Even though fuel-efficient cars is like the most popular topic for speeches these days, I had a really fun time helping him out because he was writing about a specific kind of car, called the biome car. It's a new Mercedes-Benz concept car that is made of organic materials that are (allegedly) lighter than plastic and harder than steel. It gets ridiculously high mileage because it runs on something called BioNectar (basically sun juice) and, while about the size of a Camry, it only weighs 875 pounds. Not even half a ton. Anyway, we were both skeptical about it, so we ended up watching a whole bunch of YouTube vids about it and reading articles to see if it was really real. It looks like it came out of Tron or something.


Anyway it was really fun. We talked about Tron and I, Robot and Fast Five. This is what I do at work on good days. It's awesome.

Friday. That's when I'll see you. I'm coming home to pull for the market, then I'm leaving again in the evening to go to the Arboretum for a work end-party. So we might not get to party on Friday night. But Saturday night definitely.
