    Oh, I forgot. I'm incredibly lucky at all games. In Risk, I frequently roll 666. I also was dealt a 4 to 8 straight flush daimonds in a game of poker for ten bucks.

    Also, I can tell what people are talking about from the expressions on their faces and their hand motions, regardless of whether I can hear them at all.

        Do the voices stop when you take your largactyl?

          I can extract a match from it's box and strike it, only using the hand that's holding the matchbox and without putting anything down. All in about 5 seconds.

          OK- it's not much of a superpower, but it means I don't have to waste drinking time by putting my pint down to light a ***.

            In rock paper scissors, people generally start with rock or scissors. Now suppose they start with rock and you start with paper, giving you the win. They will disproportionately choose "scissors" next. There's some sort of subconscious impulse to choose the thing that would have won last round if one loses. However it depends on the person a lot.

            Anyway, I'm not going to further ramble.
            I habitually pick what I picked before because I think some people will assume Im the type you are describing.

            In fact when it comes to competitive games, (sports, video game etc) I am King of mix ups. I leave doubt on my opponent with my consistent streaks, people wlays think "Nah he just did this 3 times in a row, surely he will change his strategy".

              Man, if you only knew how strange that sounds on this side of the pond. *** here is a derogatory expression for male homosexuals.

                You think that's strange? In Britain, a "******" is a meatball made largely of offal.

                Not only that, but a "Mother****er" is a small iced bun.

                    A bassoon eh? I love the sound of that instrument, very haunting to my ears, that and the Oboe. I'm a musician myself; guitar, harmonica and a little bit of flute. And I admire anyone who can play a double-reeded instrument!

                    Hey there you go, that's your super-power!

                        Now there's a phrase that you definitely have to use with caution, especially if you're married!

                        So do you play professionally or just for the hell of it?

                            I started in 7th grade... Played for school (orchestra and band), state honor bands and orchestras, played for 4 years in the Fresno Youth Philharmonic, and played for the UCDavis Sympony Orchestra. Also, played professionally, a little, for wedding assembles, balls, and churches (usually around the christmas season). Currently, I just play for the hell of it, its been about 4 years that I have played with anyone.

                              Honey, I'm fabulous. It's the power to beat all powers.
                              Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
                              -Richard Dawkins

                                I have very good hearing, much better than all the members of my family. I can also sometimes tell what people are going to do or say before they do or say it.

                                My sister, though, has the best super power of all - extreme sarcasm!
