If you were a superhero, what would be your superpower?

“I would want to be telekinetic.”

Would you use it for good or evil?

“Good, of course. Mostly just to turn out the lights at night.”

Joshua Parker, Pullman

“I would want the ability to projectile vomit on command. That way, if you have a meeting you don’t want to go to – bleh. You get trapped in a boring conversation – bleh.”

“Telekinesis. If only to be able to get through everyday life faster – with less effort.”

“I only get one? I guess I’d want to read people’s minds, so I know what they’re thinking.”

Would you use it for good or evil?

“Oh, I’d only use it for my own self-centered purposes.”

“Mind reading. Because I’m always interested in what people are thinking.”
