I only realized today I had reached 3001, thus missing my change.

I'm going to get to 3100 posts to do this the right way.
Bow before your unimaginably powerful overlord!

Wait a minute, I'm currently too busy holding a cork in mid air for petty groveling.

You may, but you'll likely forget, unless you post 90+ posts in a few days.
You may do what Phi and I did, post as if you had 60 points to spend.





I would, most definitely.

Nope. I want my death to be a surprise.

Superspeed raises so many problems.

Friction Burn among them.

 Not if you're adapted for it, like Quicksilver and Flash. Though, even then, it means no undies for the rest of your life. That can get embarrassing, I imagine.

 Details, details. Lots of that can likely be solved by specialized cells inherent within the mutant's anatomy.

The main issue is instant acceleration.

The Human Body can go at really high speeds as long as the acceleration is slow enough.

A constant acceleration of 40 to 80 meters per second squared would knock most people unconscious. Higher than that and you'd start killing yourself, specialized cells or not.

Not to mention moving really, really fast would demolish our atmosphere and leave spinning death storms everywhere.

 It's workable. Somehow. We just can't think of how, yet.

Let's throw science at the problem until it's buried!

In all seriousness. Automatic secondary powers are needed in great amounts for powers like superhuman speed.

In the case of super speed not just the secondairy powers.
The common sense to close your mouth while running is also needed.  Swallowing a bug at high speed can't be tasty.

No shame if you don't know most of them.
Knowing all of them rather shows that you're a console game geek.

 Hooray, I'm no console game freak.
I'm just your average PC freak.

But I wanna be a nerd
More and more girls dig that.

And I wanna live in the States
Comic Cons and nerd culture (which is non-existent in Holland).
Maybe my parents wiould then have let me develop normally and game/develop more.

Also, I wanna be less socially awkward (I'm awkward, but not cute awkward. I'm horrible awkward).
Though I blame my parents and their 50s upbringing.
Would perhaps have more friends and better parents

And I wanna be a billionaire
But I'd settle for always being a millionaire.

 Well, yes, nerds are becoming increasingly more in style. Being nerdy, liking nerds, it all seems quite a positive outlook for the likes of nerdkind, for the foreseeable future. Thankfully, passing knowledge of pop culture, random trivia, psychology, philosophy and mythology also count.

Though, while America is the land of opportunity, we still have our share of problems, too. Only we're too busy trying to set examples and trends for other nations, to let them set examples and trends for us.

(BTW: Wonder_Drow, are you American? I kinda have the feeling you are, but I'm just checking.)
