We Are The Hero of Our Own Story [Revisited]

Yesterday, I was the Table Topic Master for another Toastmasters weekly meeting. When I squezzed my brain out of my cranium to find a suitable theme, one word that tickled my synapses was...

"power"

Why power?

Blame it on the political chaos in Malaysia. :P

So, there I was, brainstorming with Nico about the suitable theme for the meeting. While I was pointlessly crapping about my success in drawing groups of circles for my Biology assignment, another word lingered in my mind.

"super"

Yes, the theme was superpower".

I want to see how people would respond if they were suddenly to be given such a strong power. What would they do? Below are the superpowers that I chose for the Table Topic Session.

• Magical powers, the ability to use magical forces to simulate other powers, such as mind control and elemental attacks.
• Accelerated healing, the ability to heal in a very very short time.
• Bone manipulation, the ability to manipulate the bones in one's body, which include the generation of new bone mass, projecting bones out from the skin, and bones rearrangement.
• Duplication, the ability to create physical copies of oneself.
• Sonic scream, the ability to generate vocal sounds of a higher amplitude than a normal human.
• X-ray vision, the ability to see through solid objects.
• Omni-linguism, the ability to understand any forms of language.
• Beautifying spit, the ability to enhance the appearance of something or someone by spitting. 

Here are some interesting responds from fellow Toastmasters:

• On beautifying spit: Is it hygenic?
• On bone manipulation: I can work at the circus, performing freakshow. Then, I can jump from KLCC.
• On duplication: You wanna use your duplicates to help you study, but what will happen to all copies of yourself after you finish studying?
• On accelerated healing: If I can heal others, then doctors wouldn't have a job.
• On X-ray vision: I will put a knife in my mouth and do this. (wth??)
