    BIG B, that's a good one... when you can turn back time (and your age will also turned back) you can't die cause of illness or just because you're old)

    Well turning back time wouldn't make you live forever, unless you like reliving the same time period over and over again, just making different choices. It's essentially a save game/load game function, except you don't need to save.

    Being able to absorb everyone else's abilities and use them with 10x the power:p

    Controlling time is also good. Don't like a certain someone, make that person age until he's a pile of dust :)

    on second thought, I think I'm always in need of time, so time stop or teleportation would be nice

    Mind control would take all the fun out of it! I think mind reading would be the most useful power. To know what someone is thinking just by looking at them. That would be useful, though perhaps disturbing at times.

    I would rather have the power of making money... For time is money. I could make others happy and I didn't have to work anymore so I had enough free time.

    And a second home in the Caribean.

    [​IMG] I think the ability to regenerate quick also would be great, or the ability to heal sick people.

    Tal... I hate to tell you this but then why is it that when people hav half their brains removed the brain can manage to teach itself and the person can manage to regain almost compleat controll and mental abilaty.

    kemanmaldea - Who lost half their brain and was able to be nearly the same as before? I'd like to see some proof of that.

    Regardless, the fact that this person LOST many abilities and had to RELEARN them (and could not relearn everything) goes to show that much of that half of the brain that was lost was in fact being used.

    BTA: one of the major ways this happens is if the person goes through massive seizures and what they do is they remove the half of the brain that causes them (oppiset the side the occure on)And most of the people that under go the procedure and survives regain the mojority of their abilities back.
    Yes the fact that they had to relearn means that that portion of the brain was in use but it also means that not all of the brain was in use in use or they wouldent have been able to learn anything. The information is just spread out all around the brain.

    Oh! I think I know what you're talking about! They don't remove half of their brain; they separate the communication link between the two hemispheres (the corpus callosum I think it's called). This is a way of controlling epileptic seizures.

    Now about learning. The structure of the brain changes (connections between brain cells change) as you learn. This does not mean that part of your brain that was not in use is "filled up" with the new information like some kind of information tank.
