Seeing into the future or past would be the ultimate. You'd be able to settle a lot of arguments with that one.

My luck I'd get X-ray vision and then get stuck in Wal Mart on a Saturday afternoon. That would be enough to cure me.

Dealing with some of the A holes that I have had to put up with I always thought that having the power to give someone instant and explosive diarrhea would be a good super power. I have had people throw up when they see me coming but explosive diarrhea could really put a wise ass in his or her place. It must be very hard to be a hot shot when your pants and pant leg are full of scheisse.

Now that, would be an unusual superpower!

A short while ago, a friend of mine and I, were discussing the TV show "Heroes", and their various powers. At one point I said that there could be all sorts of people out there, with superpowers, although somewhat mundane. Shortly thereafter, I correctly predicted when a door was locked or unlocked, a significant amount of times. At that point I told my friend, that my superpower was that I could tell when a door was unlocked and when it was locked.
A few chuckles later, he agreed that such a power would be indeed one of the more mundane ones to have.

I like Kips better.

Although the lock thing might be handy if you were a thief!

Oh yea! for sure! Me too! Having the power to instantly make someones bowels explode, would be much more satisfiying!
Not sure though if I would let it just burst forth, or let it slowly seep out. There would have to be an accompanying leg muscle freeze thing going on, so they can't run away.
It would also be nice to be able to do this while watching somebody on TV...like Kim I'mentally Ill, or Amaneedajob, or Dr. Laura.

I'd go with MattB who talked about voluntary invisibility. She has to get naked sometime.
