Longshot from the X-Men had it and so did Bink from the Xanth series by Piers Anthony...the amazingly trippy talent for dumb luck.

Imagine being able to run across the freeway with your eyes closed, jump off a tall building and somehow evade injury, be practically invulnerable...no cares about your own personal safety...like having your own personal author come in with a deus ex machina to get you out of any mess you got yourself into.

Time Stop. Imagine the havoc I could wreak... mwahahaha!!! :D *Plots to give everyone mohawk hairdos.*
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

Doesn't have to be serious? Okay. :)

As everyone knows, there's only one superpower in the world today, so I'd like to have the whole United States.

I'd like to be able to instantly teleport to anywhere in the world. It'd save me heaps in vehicle costs and shoe leather. You could get up in the morning, teleport to the shower, teleport to the kitchen for breakfast, and then teleport to some tropical paradise just to get away from the wind and rain. :D :D

Now THAT would be a night to remember! I'd just have to hope I didn't get so drunk I accidentally teleported in front of a bus or something. Plus it wouldn't matter if you didn't know where you were the next morning, just "ping!" and you're home! :D

ROFLMAO! :D

If anything, I would like to be able to fly :) The nearest I have got to that experience is downhill skiing (though there was always the risk of collision :D ).

I would like to be able to split into two or three people. That way, I could spend time with the kids and do the weeding and gardening at the same time! :)
That there; exactly the kinda diversion we coulda used.

Why don't you just go for Immunity to Physical Impairment? That way, you get your #1 and #3 powers together. That way, if you have three wishes, you can still wish for one more power.

You might consider wishing that any telemarketer who contacts you will implode. Hey, it's a winner.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
