if you could have a 'free' skill...

...what would it be, and why? :)

Imagine a brain-plug (a la the Matrix movies) that could download a particular skill into to your brain in a matter of seconds. What would you ask for first?

All of the martial arts, like in the movie.. !!!

Mad lady skills, psh who needs matrix, I am the matrix

like the scene when he's like "i need guns, lots of guns..." i'd be like....i need cars, lots of cars...and every one of my favorite cars would just appear like the guns did.....

next i'd also have to download the skills for drifting and driving a right hand drive vehicle....

Definitely the fight moves. That would be awesome!

Seduction skills - preferably localised in the target zone of attractive women with parameters including 20-35 years old, slim, petite, athletic... duh.... and the ability to maintain interest in one for more than a month...

The skill i would ask for is, the skill to learn just by watching, so that i could gain like many many many more skills just by watchign people. ;)

Absolute pro skier - top of the line. Able to go anywhere on the moutain maintaining absolute top speed whilst remaining in control and 100% flawless technique. :D :thumbsup: Good thread!
BTW, Hogie - RHD vehicle? Easy as piss. Take a holiday to Oz and I'll teach you in 1/2 hour.

hmmm... I think it would be having the ability to write in any style, language, and anything else of the sort(give me a break, Im an aspiring writer).

I would want to drive better than Michael Schumacher and recieve a championship.

Or, I would want to play as well as the Great One, Wayne Greztky, and play in the NHL. :sunglasse

hmmm maybe i'd ask for an instant transmission over to Oz's house....:p

I would want to be able to use %100 of my brain capacity. I was told that humans only use like 4 or 5 percent. I'd want to use %100. This way, I could learn things alot faster, easier, which could make me a better driver. I would be able to good at almost any sport I play and along with alot fo other things I would be able to do.

you'd also be a telepath, and have telekinetic and psychic powers....

20-30% is the figure that gets bandied about - but how the FUCK do you subjectively measure something like that?

Does that mean I'd be able to read other people minds??? I sure as hell would'nt want to.

Either a mad pimp skills or be the best baseball player ever.

Thats only a matter or learning my friend. ;) I'm thinking it would take about 2 or 3 years but it VERY possible to learn how to read/write every language.

How do you make 'adulation' from coke? Freebase? Never heard of that one. Or is that when you mix it with MDMA for pills? :thefinger

Complete with 'the hand of god"?

I'd like the skill of being able to make a significant positive change in the state of the world we live in. That and be able to understand women :screwy:!!

Complete with 'the hand of god"?
Absolutely.

Win at all costs.

The end justifies the means.

That's what my old soccer coach used to say to us :lol2:

That and be able to understand women :screwy:!!

Now you're just being silly :iceslolan

The ability to play perfectly any musical instrument I picked up.

i would love to be able to have some bad ass mind power like reading minds when i want and killing people with my thoughts like in X2 that was teh shawww

Languages – that way I can tell what the hell the 7-11 guy just said.

I wish i had the ability to shrink myself down to an extremely small size. Nothin like drifting in a Micro Machine when the cops can't pull you over for reckless driving. : )

hmm why would you want to shrink yourself, if you cant come back to your original size???


heh im just playing, but if we could have an ability that would be like supernatural, it would definately be the ability to fly, or morph into anything, or anyone taht i want too.

I would want to be able to do the voice from the movie previews. Yea i know thats weird but I could have a lot of fun with that. Either that or be able to hit a serve exceeding 140 mph in tennis...im hittin them at about 110 so im not that far off.

XRay Vision, + Ability to read minds when I want to= me set for life

I don't think some of you guys know what a skill (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=skill) is... :rolleyes:

Since I know I can't do that by 'downloading' it or osmosis etc, I'm doing it the old fashioned way. Spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on it, a large dedication of time and injury. The fact that I can now attack just about any line on any montain at over 100km/h and feel confident/safe in my ability to do so reassures me that everything is coming along pretty well. Pulled a massive 3m vert exit out of the half pipe too.
