Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a CommentSuperpowers are overrated. So when at a party – and usually this is a sign that it’s not a particularly successful party – someone asks me what superpower I would choose, I stun the gathering (after adjusting my ascot and monocle) by explaining, at some length, the drawbacks of their predictable, pedestrian answers, like x-ray vision, invisibility, or stretchy-rubber arms. After laying out this logical foundation, I reveal the only superpower truly worth coveting. “Diplomatic immunity!”, I say, at which point I sit back down with an elaborate sweep of my arms or wander back over to the buffet table.
You think me mad? Let’s simply review the stereotypical ‘superpower’ most likely to be discovered in our lifetime, invisibility . Any self respecting scientist, (or B-movie director) will tell you that the real problem are the clothes. Skin, bone and organ invisibility? Sure, that can be worked out. But a Brooks Brothers suit and pleated fedora? Now you are simply deluding yourself. So yes, I suppose you could, if determined, sneak into Symphony Hall or Fenway Park without clothing, but it is hardly comfortable and certainly not dignified.
