Yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, Uh huh, Uh huh, rrrrradio
When I was driving back from Dallas on Sunday, I listened to npr, as I often do. I listened to one of my favorite npr shows This American Life. I love the show, and npr in general, and felt particularly obligated to listen this weekend since they are having their pledge drive and I might just be the only person who is willing to listen to them beg for money.
At any rate, the topic of discussion on This American Life was which super power you would rather have: the ability to fly or be invisible?
It should come as no surprise to those who read my prior post that I would pick invisibility. However, that isn't solely because I am afraid of flying, I'll have you know. It would be so cool to be invisible -- you could listen in on great conversations you'd never hear otherwise, and could pick things up and move them around, really freaking people out. Besides, if you could fly, you'd really need some other super power coupled with it to do anything good with it.
What do you blogging folks think?

I also listen to NPR. The one show that I listen to constantly is Fresh Air. I have been too introduced to some really good music and books on that show. And Fresh Air has had some of the most interesting interviews I have ever heard. As for what power I would pick: it would have to be invisibility, the possibilities are endless with that power.

I would choose flight. I have no issues with flight, and you don't really need any other super powers. Work out, become stronger, you can fly down and grab someone, or hit them with a baseball bat. You can ease up to 2nd floor windows and listen to people... You can float on the ceiling of a room, who looks up there?

I'm with you on the flying. I know what my hair looks like after driving with the windows down. Besides if I was invisible then I could catch my four-year old-I'm doing nothing-Bob in the act.
