    pick your superpower

    Since I've had a couple beers I'm getting a little silly.

    I started wondering - if I could pick one superpower to have related to scrapping, what would it be?

    Would it be the ability to see through trash bags? Or lift heavy items? Or turn shred into gold? Probably the last one. Lol.

    Any other ideas?

    Success consists of going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm...... Churchill

    I would want to be everywhere all at once so I could grab all the scrap before other scrappers pounce on it...

    Mine would have to be laser vision. Much easier to chop up scrap and open compressors.

    Your x-ray vision would be defeated by scrap lead.

    Can you imagine appliances flying out of houses?
    hehe, kinda like the grinch shoving stuff up the chimney. I think I'd want something like xray vision that I could look at a metal and I would instantly know what it's made of like a gun at the yards. No since being greedy,,,

    I would have the ability to separate all my scrap with a single thought. That way, I wouldn't have break down "days", I'd have break down "seconds.
    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

    My power would have to be telekinesis. Just load and unload using mind power and save wear and tear on your back!

    Any of you ever seen "Watchmen"? Dr. Manhattans super powers would make scraping pretty easy.

    Check out what he does to the tank at the end of this clip. I'm sure he could seperate the metals by type in seconds.
