I have that second one. I always thought it had something to do with being short, too. I go where no one is; a counter, window, whatever--to browse. Suddenly a crowd forms, and they are all taller than me.

One came back today that I thought I'd lost, and truly, hope I do again. If there's anything around to whack my knee on in passing? I will. Cool, huh?

I used to have the power to command lifts to magically appear on any floor within seconds of my approaching the doors, but that has now changed to the power to keep them interminably in the basement.

I've also discovered I can make on-coming cars flash at me for no apparent reason - except maybe in admiration of my super-speed ;)

I think I'm going to make a practice of flashing my lights at other cars while waving urgently for no reason. Although I do wish there was a universally recognised wave you could give to someone at the lights which meant: 'you have caught part of your coat/dress in the door and it is getting filthy'.

i'm able to occasionally predict things which will happen in the future - things which admittedly are pretty obvious to thinking people. But along with this is the magical refusal of anyone to later remember or acknowledge that i did. I'll be saying 'and you were standing there, and i stood here, and i said, There'll be no WMDs and there'll be a strike on mainland Britain and the US economy will plummet within two years, and i whined that no-one ever remembers my predictions and you promised on your mother's life that you'd remember this time - remember?' 'No.' ....

My other superpower is to make computers burst into flames, but only when i'm trying to write a book on them.

Steve, I think any book which causes the computer it's typed on to burst into flames should probably go straight on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum as being a bit on the infernal side.
