The Five Superpowers You Really Wish You Had

Five everyday superpowers for the average person.

1. The power of being served first at the bar.

Too many times you've been at the front of the bar queue, frantically waving a note about, only to see young, attractive girls and the old regulars repeatedly served ahead of you. If only you had the power to be instantly served in any bar...

2. The power to find anything you are looking for instantly.

Even when your place is tidy, somehow your missing keys/phone/jumper will still find a way to vanish. Instead of tossing cushions around, throwing up your hands or panicking about your suddenly missing wallet, imagine if your things were always in the first place you look.

3. The power to think of all those things you want to say in the middle of an argument.

The French call it 'l'espirit de l'escalier' - that phenomenon where you think of all the funny, devastating things you could have said more or less the instant you leave a conversation, by which time it's too late.

4. The power to always get a seat on the train.

Some mornings it's just impossible – with or without trousers

5. The power to control sleep.

Just like a character in a videogame you could happily go weeks without sleep, fall asleep instantly and be instantly refreshed on waking. Imagine the power! No more feeling groggy after naps, no more sleepless nights, just endless energy and instant, restful sleep.
