Time travel is a pretty safe super power pick. One could make a fortune on the stock market, divest ahead of wars or market crashes and identify new trends or bubbles for what they were.

Super speed (e.g., The Flash) is cool too-I imagine that he'd be a very good base stealer in baseball or wide receiver in football. Super strength (e.g., Superman)? Can't go wrong there. Think of the nutritional 'supplements' market and home gyms that this guy could pitch!

I'm wondering about XRay vision myself. Would I ever get tired of leering all the time? Probably not. [:D]

I think you'd need the time travel super power just to get back what you wasted on the x-ray/super perv power.

Isn't that like the classic 'wishing for more wishes' from the Djin? Fine-then I'll pick demigod omnipotence as my 'super power'. That's a bundled service that comes with XRay vision, time travel, communicating with animals (overrated, IMO-lazy buggers), super strength and just about any other singular power you can think of.

By the way, you don't need x-ray vision to have the super perv power. [:D]

Pfft...I assume you didn't get that job? [:'(]

It should have been super power and I chose time travel. And I did get the job.

Not the ability to turn people who ask those sorts of questions in a job interview into cheese?

Hi all,

How are things Nik?

How is new job?


Leo "Apollo11"

It is going well.......the feedback i've gotten is that my two bosses think i'm the greatest thing since sliced bread. Yesterday i became the official "Mac-master" as though it's a 99.5% PC environment....a couple users have Mac's and want to be able to connect to their network drives and stuff from home. Since my resume said i "spoke Mac", i was the go-to guy.

On the con side.......i remain restricted to part time hours and simply can't live off it. If it continues to be this way i may have to go elsewhere, even if it means not doing IT anymore. [:(]

Same here. It looks like just over 20 hours this week. Unemployement would pay better. But I ain't going back to that. I could try another arch/eng firm. for the time bing I'll stay here.

I have had some peaks and valley's over the last 2.5 months of hunting.  Right now, I'm at a peak, hoping to get good news on Monday or Tuesday.  I'm going to ride it all weekend! 

It's a jungle out there, Kiddies.  Have a very fruitful day!  [:)]

Sharks win!!! [8D]

Now, I will be rooting against them (as I am hoping to see Vancouver win the Cup.)  Which ever team wins that series will be my pick in the Finals against the Boston/Tampa Bay winner.

He has a terminal case, like the rest of us. [;)]

He's just always liked the Sharks as well for some reason.

I guess there are a few Swedes on the Wings, huh? [:D]

Personally, I always root against the Red Wings, just like the Yankees in Baseball. I like the Sharks, but picked and have been rooting for the Canucks since the beginning of the playoffs. I'd like to see a Tampa Bay/Vancouver finals, with Vancouver winning Lord Stanley's Cup. [:)]
Actually, I could root equally for both the Sharks & the Wings, as both teams have a player from my home Swedish favourite team (Niclas Wallin in the Sharks & Tomas Holmstrom in the Wings). But, as Homer has played for the Wings for such a long time as compared for Wallin for the Sharks, I'm more firmly rooted ([;)]) in rooting for the Wings. BTW, I have Mattias Ohlund in the Lighnings as well. Also a native Lulea player.

Nic is one of our favorites, and a long time Hurricane. [8D]
I know he was and I'm glad for his sake that they made it to the semis. [:)]

Glad you're feeling better Des. I can't imagine what losing 30kg feels like (especially when you don't want to).
