I can make a coffee mug sound like a flute. I love to transform random objects into wind instruments. Piercings sounds coming from ball-pen tubes are another speciality of mine.

I find OTHER people's keys. Sometimes they really are in the freezer.
Occasionally one of my coworkers will leave their keys in the office fridge. Intentionally. It turns out to be a really good way to remember to take your lunch leftovers home. Causes a lot of confused emails to the whole office when somebody who doesn't understand finds them, though. |

Causes a lot of confused emails to the whole office when somebody who doesn't understand finds them, though. oh! my mother just leaves her keys in the freezer sometimes after doing the grocery shopping, because the first load is always the freezer stuff. And there was the time that I lost a whole jar of pickles for MONTHS because I'd accidently put them away in the freezer. Pickles don't freeze well at all. But that's really clever. Except that I would walk out of the office without my keys every single time. |

No, pickle brine won't actually freeze in most freezers. The pickles will, however, and when they thaw they come out soggy and gross. (And frozen pickle is no good either).

Bah! It definitely fails my competency test for a freezer then. Which is, if I leave something highly alcoholic* in it for a couple of weeks, does it freeze/very nearly freeze? Admittedly not many freezers live up to this, but you've gotta have standards...  (*) Think good vodka, butterscotch schnapps, that sort of thing. |

Snacking, folks, snacking. I don't know where you got any other ideas, and frankly I'm not sure I want to know =)

Ooo, that reminds me. I put some Dulseda Dulce De Leche liquor in the freezer the other day. I should probably check on that. . .

My super Powers aren't that impressive:
I've surprised a few friends by switching radio stations and being able to start singing along with the song after about a second of hearing it.
I think I've got some power that causes people to run their cars into mine. Last year my car was hit 4 times. I was in it 3/4 times. Maybe it's just the car.
I listen. When people need to vent, I listen. I can't really offer any advice, but I can listen.
Cheese. While not a super power, I am known for my love of cheese. (it's kinda scary)

I'm from Wisconsin. You'd have to be pretty extreme to scare me on your love of cheese. Contrary to popular opinion, I cannot identify -every- possible kind of cheese blindfolded. Just lots of them. |

Okay, so it's not really scary. It's more of a subject of much mockery by my friends and family (especially the ex-manfriend). |

That's what I think! But my family & friends don't feel that way. My tendancy to put cheese on pretty much everything (mmm, cheesy popcorn) is legendary. I usually put twice the reccomended amount of cheese that recipes call for. If I'm in the mood, KD gets extra cheesed. |
