I’m No Superman

I am not normal.
In fact, I have entertained the thought that I may actually be superhuman.
My hearing is heightened, I can detect changes in the atmosphere, I can feel things others find imperceptible and so on.
The unfortunate side to these superhuman strengths are how they would make me super vulnerable.

In a freshly painted warehouse, some crooks are fiendishly packing boxes full of stolen jeans. SuperKev bursts through the door in normal-fitting attire.

SuperKev: Stop right there, villians!
Villians: Oh, no! It’s SuperKev!
SuperKev: That’s right, it is me! And you are all going to jai… woah. What’s that smell?
Villians: [glancing to one another] Uh…the place was painted recently? Maybe that’s it? Why?
SuperKev: Don’t the fumes make you feel weird? I think I can actually taste it… and my nose feels numb.
Villians: No, we are okay. We’ve bee…
SuperKev: Do you guys hear that exhaust fan? I think it might have a loose belt.
Villians: [reaching for a pair of pants]
SuperKev: It’s really hot in here too. Wow, I really need some air.

The villians get back to packing as SuperKev slowly exits holding his head.

Do you have some strange quirks that you would dare share on this blog?

My View of Anatomy as a Kid

This is embarrassing, but it is true.

When I was a kid, I used to think that your kidneys looked like white Hershey Kisses and were located in your shoulder area.  I also thought that your feelings resided in your teeth — your sadness or happiness could actually be located in your molars.  If that was not bad enough, I also thought that the complex inner workings of your body consisted of a long tube that went down to your stomach — no doubt having watched many indigestion commercials.  Last but not least, I would like to thank many Valentine’s Day card exchanges for my understanding of the elaborate heart that kept me alive.  Also, thanks to the Pledge of Allegiance for causing me to think that my heart was where my left lung hangs out.  For any clarification, please see the diagram below.
