Last night I happened to listen to part of Public Radio International's This American Life program. It's an interesting collection of anecdotes and oddities. Last night the theme was superpowers, and one segment caught my attention. The man doing it, I forget his name, shared his personal party ice-breaker question.

If you could have one, and only one, of the following two powers, which would it be? No one else will be offered this choice, and you once you accept the power you can never switch or give it back. The choice: Flight or Invisibility? (And then he asks "why?", of course.)

For me, I choose Flight. I'd love to be able to be weightless, go where I went at my own pace, not have to be stuck in traffic, trudge up and down stairs, or even be restricted to going where the roads go. Also, it's a no-hassles power. There are no issues of paranoia and distrust if people know I can fly. I don't need to hide it.

What would you choose, gentle reader?
