At work today, my computer was being really slow. And then my other computer was being really slow. And then the server was being really slow. And I was waiting and complaining, until I thought:

What if I have gained the power of super-human speed so everything just seems slow?

Further experimentation, however, revealed that I was unable to zip to the kitchen, grab a cookie, and zip back to my office without being seen.

So I didn't have super-human speed. But I did have a cookie.

Maybe you just have super-speed at processing? So it seems slow to go to the kitchen as well, but really it's just because you're thinking so fast?

That would be more likely if I'd had some caffeine that day. :D

I'm not saying you got the better end of the deal, but when you think about it, super-human speed would make life pretty tiresome, if everything felt like a slow computer.

Cookies won't let you down that way.

You are so right. I was hoping I would learn to control my special power, though, so I could turn it on and off.

You always think of everything!

I am so sorry you did not have this power, Hal. It would have been awesome.

I am still sad about it.
