I find that I’ve grown accustomed to the cold. Temeratures below zero are somewhat normal and when it rises to 2 or 3 above, I comment to others that its nice and warm. I don’t know how it happened, but I think I must’ve grown another layer of fat around my body. Or a second skin.
Which makes me wonder what else I can grow under the right conditions. I saw a documentary the other day about two guys who hit stuff. By subjecting their bodies to repeated impacts, they made their bones incredibly strong. I heard of another guy who was bitten so many times by rattlesnakes that he didn’t need antivenom any more. It’s a testament to the human body that it can change and adapt to anything that humans might be stupid enough to do repeatedly.
What special skill might I be able to acquire though? I rarely jump through plate-glass windows or wrestle snakes, so the above examples aren’t really for me. I hated the cold, yes, and my body adapted, true, but I need more. Maybe the resistance from fire. You never know when your house is going to burn down. Withstanding an inferno might be a good thing. Ability to breathe underwater another. But finally, I suppose if you were going to get resistant from anything the best thing would be death.
You could start by killing yourself a little bit, then a little bit more, then a little bit more. Try a little poisoning, then a little stabbing, then a little drowning. Eventually, no-one will be able to top you off. This could be very useful for people in the shady professions. Of course, I wouldn’t try this myself. I’ll just wait for the video to appear on YouTube.

Watch subject. Bush is forever saying that democracies do not invade other countries and start wars. Well, he did just that. He invaded Iraq, started a war, and killed people. What do you think? How does that work in a democracy again? How does being more threatening make us more likeable?Isn’t
the country with the most weapons the biggest threat to the rest of the world? When one country is the biggest threat to the rest of the world, isn’t that likely to be the most hated country?
If ever there was ever a time in our nation’s history that called for a change, this is it!
The more people that the government puts in jails, the safer we are told to think we are. The real terrorists are wherever they are, but they aren’t living in a country with bars on the windows. We are.
