title says it all

QuikSand · 01-16-2004, 08:08 AM

I call BS.

But, on a related note, wo knew that the Hundustan Times had such a robust gossip page?

Easy Mac · 01-16-2004, 08:11 AM

wouldn't she walk into a lot of walls since she can see through them?

Bonegavel · 01-16-2004, 08:16 AM

Sure, anytime you have claims of this magnitude you have to be completely skeptical. Still, would be interesting to have one of these types of claims turn out to be true, given all the charlatans like John Edwards and his evil minions of faker-TV.

Easy Mac · 01-16-2004, 08:18 AM

hey, just because he is running for the Democrat nominee, it doesn't make him a faker

Fonzie · 01-16-2004, 08:19 AM

Pantsload.

Northwood_DK · 01-16-2004, 08:21 AM

I bet she lives really close to Chernobyl.

Raiders Army · 01-16-2004, 08:21 AM

I think the reason why she can't use her x-ray vision on herself is because she doesn't need to. Obviously she can already see herself naked whenever she wants

Easy Mac · 01-16-2004, 08:22 AM

After Chernobyl, my penis, is falling off.
And penis is Russian for?

JAG · 01-16-2004, 08:23 AM

I can see her picking up men using her x-ray vision..."Baby, I've never seen a healthier prostate."

Axxon · 01-16-2004, 09:38 AM

Perspective check. I read the article earlier and left the window open. I came back to the computer and didn't really remember what the last site I was searching was. This was the only part of the article on my screen.

I must admit I was wondering just what had I been reading this morning anyway.

rkmsuf · 01-16-2004, 09:52 AM

All the luck that a girl get's these powers. Give that to a guy and it's paradise...

Drake · 01-16-2004, 10:04 AM

As super powers go, this one sucks pretty bad. It's not like being invisible or something.

I would take it, as long as I could adjust the power.

Bonegavel · 01-16-2004, 10:45 AM

well, seems to me that her vision skips through clothes and skin and goes right for the innards. Doesn't seem like a desireable power at all (at least for the "i will use my powers for evil" kind of people). This should be a prerequisite for those going into medicine. If she is more accurate than a CAT scan, imagine the savings. Canadians could stop coming here to be treated and then going back home to bash us

Fonzie · 01-16-2004, 10:55 AM

Someone ought to tell her about James Randi's $1 million challenge.

Fritz · 01-16-2004, 11:20 AM

so what. I have X-Ray smell. Lotta damn good it has done me.

The Uncanny X-Men have arrived...

Karim · 01-16-2004, 08:31 PM

Mutants... they're all around us.

If I had to choose a superpower it would definitely be the ability to read peoples' thoughts.

The Afoci · 01-16-2004, 08:34 PM

I once had X-Ray vision. Then me grandma slapped me upside the head for looking at her crotch funny. What can I say, I liked nipples. Holla.

I got nothing.

I'd pick the ability to Freeze time.

There's a pretty interesting book by Nicholson Baker called "The Fermata" that's all about a guy who can stop and start time. It's very well done - I'd recommend it.

Sun Tzu · 01-16-2004, 09:42 PM

I'm actualy looking forward to seeing "The Butterfly Affect". I didn't think a movie with Ashton K. would be the kind of thing I'd want to go and see. I was honestly surprised when I saw the previews that it looked like a good movie.

EagleFan · 01-16-2004, 09:56 PM

Here's where I call BS...

"There was once a lady who had been diagnosed with cancer. I looked at her and did not notice anything like it, just a small cyst."

Not only can she see X-Ray vision but she is now a specialist who can diagnose a cyst as opposed to cancer by the use of this power?

Desnudo · 01-16-2004, 09:58 PM

I'd go with flying. Which, if you remember, can be used to not only stop time, but make it go backwards.

I read that. To say that is what the book is about is really understatement. Be prepared for heavy doses of masturbatory and coprophiliac fantasies, as I recall. He's not without talent, but the book isn't exactly a harmless little sci-fi trifle about super hero powers.

There was a strange Dean Kootz book I read awhile ago that dealt with a character that could stop time. Can't remember the title of it.

True indeed. I probably should've provided a disclaimer to my recommendation - the book is about what a semi-slacker with a healthy libido does with his intermittent time-stopping ability. It's not all about masturbatory fantasies, but a good chunk of it is. In that sense, it always struck me as perhaps the most "real" presentation of what a regular schmoe would do with such a superpower, which is why I recommended it.

Not for the kiddies though.

sabotai · 01-16-2004, 10:47 PM

I have GOT to get this book!

sounds like it would make a lot of top 10 lists around this place.

I'm also looking forward to this movie. The previews make it look like a very good movie.

It's called Dragon Tears.

Very good book.
