I saw a cartoon once about the worst superpowers
it had stuff like 'flying, but only in really awkward positions' and had the guy half sitting down whilst flying. It was pretty funny, but I can't find it now.

It started off when I was answering a question about what superpower I'd like to have
"Flying - Wow! It's awesome! Who wouldn't want to fly? Well, me for a start. I'm assuming this really is a one power only thing, and so the only special thing about you would be that you could fly. So, you'd freeze to death, or not be able to breathe. I call that one a FAIL. Even if I'm wrong, and you don't die, it'd still be a bit shit because it's a really obvious superpower, and once people knew you could fly it'd be all like "Ooh save me!" and even if you couldn't be arsed or were busy or drunk or some shit like that. Also, once people know you can fly, your city is under constant attack. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH COUNCIL TAX WOULD GO UP IF THERE WAS A MONSTER/SUPERVILLIAN ATTACK EVERY WEEK?!?! It's just selfish really."

disclaimer: above may have been written while drunk, but I can't be arsed to tidy it up.

How many of those did you do?
I loved them :)

Cheers!
Probably 10 or 15? I lost inspiration after getting bollocked by work for emailing them out to everyone...

they are good, but I can see why work might bollock you for it

Oddly, the final straw was an email that didn't contain a comic
I tried to set a new policy for improving morale by enforcing the giving of high fives if you pass someone on the stairs.

I hide little notes around the bar
I won't lie, most of them are just funny swearwords. But it makes people laugh when they open the wine machine and there's an obscene picture stuck behind the door so customers can't see.

Minor acts of workplace terrorism rock!

I have also invented several games
My favourite was 'bar tennis'. It had to stop when we nearly killed a customer though :( They're always getting in the way of my fun at work.

We did an minor one, but the boss got really annoyed, so we cut back on it
We stuck this up all round the building, after he'd had CCTV installed to spy on people.

I like both of these
and shall implement them in our office forthwith!

We have the "terrorcock" where if someone leaves their notepad unattended, a massive cock is drawn about 10 pages in

We enjoy the old classic of going to someone elses pc, and pressing CTRL+ALT+Down
Flips the screen, on some PCs.

For all the thought that we apparently all put into fucking about at work
We could probably solved world hunger or something by now.

Not as much fun though, is it?

Nah
I'm working on a comic/article at the moment titled "the ten things you do that make barmaids think you're a cunt". Debating whether to leave copies lying around at work...

Put it on the back of the menus

(, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 11:25, Reply)
Pfftt, no menus
I work in a real pub. The closest you'll get to a meal is a pint of stout and a packet of pork scratchings.

Stout is pitiful in comparison to Ale
*runs*
(, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 11:29, Reply)
Yes but stout is more filling, which is why I said that.

Not read that in a while
Shame it's not updated much, some awesome ideas there.

There was a *cough* roleplay game called Stuper Powers
One was 'prehensile nipples', another was the ability to summon Buddha (only he wouldn't do anything other than sit there looking smug and saying hippy shite).

Didn't Natasha Henstridge have those when she turned into the big alien at the end of Species?

I will have to watch this again to check
In order to do this scientifically, I need to watch this alone...

It's good scientific practice to conduct the experiment without your trousers.

Thank you, fellow scientist!

I frequently find it's a better experiment all round if I leave my trousers at the door of the lab.

Erm...not you, the other sort of lab...
