    Firstly, I would have total resistance against Mental assualts, rendering you lot of mind control freaks impotent.

    Agelessness and unlimited regeneration would be nice.

    Hmm, difficult choice .... I think that ultrafast learning (for example by just listening to lectures - no need to re-read the stuff extensively, more time for funny things like parties), the ability to speak about 30 languages of my choice perfectly, fast regeneration and immunity to mind attacks would be cool.

    its not that we only use 10% of our brain, its that we only use 10% of our brain's potential. All of the brain is in use, just not at peak efficiency.

    Thank you Shadow Assasin. I quess that this is what I am trying to say. So if we use the brain to its full capcity/efficency I am not shure I want to think about how much we could remenber.

    *sigh* This is a myth. Point me to a shred of scientific evidence that demonstrates this nonsense to be true so that I may be persuaded. :)

    Looks like no one here went to that page I linked to in my last post on Page 1 of this topic... Do that before you start any more "wise" comments about brain usage.

    BTA ---> It's a myth, yes. "Myths which are believed in tend to become true..." (from the link )

    Tal ---> I disagree, I think we have the possibility to use 10% of our brains. But there are always people who don't use their brains at all. ;)

    ROTFL!
    "Myths which are believed in tend to become true..."

    I'd disagree with that! :) But I do like this interpretation taken from another page:

    "psycho-fact, [a] belief that, though not supported by hard evidence, is taken as real because its constant repetition changes the way we experience life."

    [​IMG] A.) Power to understand why Canadians can't pronounce the word "about"
    B.) Power to make Britney Spears choke on her bubble gum during a concert
    C.) Conjure mother-in-law-eating hydra (yours, not the hydra's)
    D.) Cantrip: "Charm Catherine Zeta Jones"
    E.) Power to convince boss I'm really working when I'm posting on sorcerers.net
    F.) Cantrip: "Remove French accent"

    Etc.

    Although I'd probably go with the power to communicate directly, instantly, and audibly with God.

    Bah, you people need to think bigger.

    Why, X-Ray Vision or Invisibility.

    Or maybe that's just my hormones speaking :p.

    But seriously though (It is that possible with this kind of question?) I would settle on something like Invulneribility(sp?).

    Although. X-Ray Vision Or Invisibility also seem nice.

    Well, there is this thing called sleep, and normal sleep last minimum 8 hours I think. Now that's a lot of time, where I don't do any of the things you mention anyway

    I would take super-speed like in dragonball z. No one would be able to hit you, a you would be able to do so many things without anyone noticing. Rob banks, be the most played professional player in anything, almost anything your heart's desire.

    Boy did I come to this topic late... I would have said selective control of time if I were here earlier. I've always had a huge fascination with it. Even still after everyone else has agreed with it, I guess I'll jump on the band wagon.

    Some powers like Omnipotence are a wee bit too powerful... not that I'm saying mind control or time flow isn't...

    I would take Omniscience (know everything). That way, I'd know how to obtain Omnipotence and immortality and wouldn't need to read peoples' minds! ;)
