Well, in a scientific experiment gone awry, I thought perhaps getting bitten by a radioactive spider could give me certain superhuman powers. Let's just say, putting a small spider found on the patio into the microwave for a minute, is....Uhhh...NOT the way to go. (Still waiting for the smell to dissipate)
Next test, finding a cave full of bats and becoming stupid rich.
Bury yourself in dirt and see if you can talk to ants!!! Don't forget to add some HONEY!!!
I was hit by lightning while carrying a computer. I did not get super abilities like the guy in "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes". I felt cheated.
I had that happen to me too, all that changed was the hard drive got fried on my computer and the dog was terrified of thunderstorms after that experience.
@Surfpirate Poor dog. Super powers - you do everything you can and they remain elusive and illusory
