    Saw this, thought it would be silliness.

    1) The ability to sense the location any and all people within a 0.5 mile radius.
    2) The power to see in the dark. Also you can jump 6 inches higher than you normally would.
    3) The ability to turn into TWO animals of your choice. (you have to go through the trouble of touching the animal to gain its form) (cannot combine animals)
    4) The ability to steal peoples lives to add to your own. May do this 4 times. This adds 5 years to you life and nothing else. This also makes you a murderer.
    5) Photographic memory (drawback- 1st time you use it you get a 1 minute excruciating migraine and so on. for example the 60th time you use it you'd experience a 60 minute excruciating migraine, etc.) (also, it is not automatic, it is controlled manually)
    6) Ability to have minor luck. (not strong enough to win a lottery or a huge raffle) (ie: find money on ground, cars move out of way for you, less traffic, red lights turn green, etc.)
    7) The ability to instantly add 2 hours of sleep to whatever you have. (for example, you only got 4 hours of sleep, you wake up and use your power to make it 6 feeling instantly refreshed). Useful for very busy people.

    Poll please?

    Also, a few questions:

    Power 1: can I specifically identify people within this radius? Say my brother is in a crowd of people, can I sense him out specifically?

    Power 3: does touching the animal's remains count, or would that just turn you into a dead animal?
    Power 3 (again): humans are animals. If I touched a person who picked another crappy superpower, would transforming into them give me their abilities?

    Do you change into two animals at once, or one at a time?

    I could really, really, really use the sleep power. Like, seriously.

    That being said, luck sounds like more fun. Got a photographic memory and major headaches anyway, although that last bit might be more related to the sleeping problem.

    Damn, that rules out dinosaurs and having three powers at once. Hmmm...

    In order of preference: 2, 3, 1, 7, 6

    Does touching a different animal replace one of the animals I turn into, or am I stuck with the first two I animals I touch?

    Drie, one at a time, no combining.

    Kaaraa, the first two animals you touch you decide you want to turn into (that way you won't get a moquito or fly or whatever.)

    Hmmmm....

    Alright, two-animals it is. Animal #1 would be an osprey, but I can't think of another one. Suggestions?

    Aw, crap, I picked the animals before reading the comments below. I thought I would be able to turn into a horse and a fly at the same time and annoy myself and that would be funny... Oh well...

    If I was an owl I'd also have night vision. And I could ****ing fly.

    That'd be somewhat redundant with my first animal though, so I'd probably find the nearest dog and transform into that.

    Already have six, technology can provide one and two, medicine has already tacked on 20 years so no thank you to four, five is achievable with a camera and an effective ordering system, my plans for using four would negate the purpose of having seven.
