what is your super power?

[N-OS X-tasy!]

My other super power is that I perceive things more quickly than most people. I first realized this years ago after noticing that whenever I saw a comedy in a movie theater I was always the first to laugh at humorous situations and/or jokes during the movie. I don't know if it is because my sensory organs and their connections to my brain work faster than those of others or if it is because my brain functions faster than other people's - maybe it's both. Maybe's it's something else. All I know is that I consistently "get" things faster than most people.

I have an odd ability to be able to look at an entire page of text and pick out spelling errors, grammatical errors and poorly written sentences virtually instantly. Those things stand out as though they have flashing neon signs on them.

I also have this one. People marvel (not always in a good way) at my ability to do this.

I remember one time some years ago I walked into a buddy's office at work while he had a Word document onscreen (a 17" CRT). Literally within an instant of entering his office and without even really looking at what he was working on, I called his attention to two spelling errors in the document. Oh, did I mention that his monitor was sitting approximately seven feet from the entry to his office? He looked at me, then looked at his document, saw that I was correct, looked back at me and asked, "How the F*CK do you do that?"

Honestly, sometimes the ability is more of a pain than it's worth. It often aggravates the hell out of me that others don't catch this stuff.
I have this one too.

My "super power" is the ability to understand mechanical devices at a glance, either in person or from schematics. This power is so natural to me that for years I thought everyone had this same ability, but then I started working at a job where a minimum basic mechanical understanding was a requirement and I found out that a large segment of the population just can't figure out how mechanical things work no matter how hard they try or how many examples they are shown.

I have that one, too. In fact, earning my mechanical engineering degree taught me to see the world on entirely different terms than I did before studying engineering.
I have this one too.
