Superpowers

Here is a really good episode of This American Life. John Hodgeman's act was interesting. He first asks people their preference of invisibility or ability to fly, then asks what they would do with those powers. It turns out no one really wants to fight crime. Invisible people pretty much would like to spy on people, find out what they really think about them, and other trite nonsense. Flying people would be more ambitious. One said he'd want groupies, because people would love to sleep with someone that can fly. Another would become "Fly to Paris Man".
