So, what have we learnt today?
3 or 4 helpings of stuff and nonsense every week. Come and get it while it's hot.

OK, I'm mixing my cartoons here, but I've been thinking about super powers recently.

If I were to be given the chance to have a super power, what would it be - invisibility, x-ray vision, the ability to fly/scale buildings or have superhuman strength?  No, frankly I think that these are all too much hassle - I think you'd end up going all around the world helping out others and defeating the enemy, leaving no time to simply enjoy your skill.

No, I think that my super power would need to be less dramatic and allow me to lead a normal existance. 

Then it came to me.  If someone is driving like an idiotyou know, doing 10 miles an hour along a 40 mph stretch of road or pulling out of a side turning right in front of you, not indicating correctly, or the most heinous of crimes - coming to a complete standstill at a roundabout when there is absolutely no traffic around, I'd love the power to be able to make their car simply disappear from underneath them.

If this were to happen, what a pleasurable experience driving would become, driving past the bemused faces of these incompetent motorists, left stranded due to their inability to understand the rudiments of the highway code.

Certainly, needing to (during a time of emergency) find a quiet corner in order to hold aloft one's magic sword, or change into a costume that will restrict 60& of your mobility always seemed like an error.


Also, I never understood how He-Man's secret identity, Prince Adam was such a coward and weakling despite having the exact same physical dimensions as He-Man himself...

Odd.

When it comes to costumes and changing, I believe that Eric Twinge of 29 Acacia Road, Nuttytown had the most effective method for transfer into character.
