VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: if you had one superpower what would it be?

"i'd be able to shoot lightning bolts out from my finger tips - great big Knowledge Network documentary bolts - and when a person was zapped by one of these bolts, they'd fall down on their knees and once on their knees they'd be underwater, in this place i saw once off the east coast of the Bahamas, a place where a billion electric blue fish swam up to me and made me part of their school - and then they'd be up in the air, up in manhattan, above the world trade centre, with a flock of pigeons, flying amid the skyscrapers, and then - and then what? and then they'd go blind, and then they'd be taken away - they'd feel homesick - more homesick than they'd felt in their entire life - so homesick they were throwing up - and they'd be abandoned, i don't know... in the middle of a harvested corn field in missouri. and then they'd be able to see again, and from the edges of the field people would appear - everybody they'd known - and they'd be carrying black forest cakes and burning tiki lamps and boom boxes playing the same song, and the sky would turn into a sunset, the way it does in walt disney world brochures, and the person i zapped would never be alone or isolated again"
