In honour of how "philosophical" this Sunday is becoming, did anyone else ever read Piers Anthony's Xanth novels?
They imagined a fantasy realm where everyone had a magical power of some sort... but the range was extreme. Some people could talk to plants, or transform, or fly. Others could project dots on a far wall.
Let's say you got the short end of the stick in the world of Xanth. Knowing yourself as you do, what would your Not Really Useful, Maybe Even a Bit of a Nuisance magical skill be?

Being able to read everyone's mind, but only the boring thoughts.
I hope you like grocery lists! 😬
@MLClark So close to amazing, but so far away. Do I get a super name? It would be Irony.

I'm getting mighty suspicious of the adjectival placement in these titles! E L! You're not tedious or mediocre in this scenario! You just have a "mind" for it. 😉
@MLClark This is very true. It's the other people's thoughts which are mediocre, not our EL. @elbutterfield
