 `` Turn-Yellow Man, saving the day again!'' My son announces as he rushes downstairs, shifting his skin through various shades of yellow as he does. 
 
 It's been this way for about a month now, we've all got these weird abilities. Some are actually useful but most are pretty trivial. About the only use my son has found for his, is attracting flies, although that may be the smell more than the sight of him... he does hate baths. 
 
 Yeah, it will be five weeks on Thursday that it happened. Some new kind of `` fundamental particle'' at CERN that was being played with. I do n't know specifics, ask my friend Gary, he can now get knowledge from books like the Hulk getting lunch money from Batman. Unfortunately, all Gary does now is buy strategy guides for games and proceed to beat said game in a few hours, but none of us really use our powers to do much anyway. Whilst it seems exciting, it's just something else that we have to worry about. I mean, what happens when a truly powerful ability appears? 
 
 Despite mocking them, I am glad we have our new `` vigilantes'' ( it was bound to happen ), as they prevent some of the really insane powers from doing too much harm. There's always the worry though, that one person could overpower the **T**he **I**ncredible **T**roupe ( we know, nobody has the heart to tell them though ) and cause some serious damage. 
 
 Until then, I'll just while away the hours, listening in on conversations that are happening about 2000 miles away. Of course, like most people ( or at least most people I know ) I only speak English, so most conversations I hear are n't understandable. Last week though, during *Super-Big Brother*, there was that five minutes of excitement as I got to listen in on someone trying their utmost best to pass some kind of English exam. Unfortunately, the only bit that was really coherent, was the long winded explanation of the different items their pencil case contained, which oddly, did include the kitchen sink. Luckily, earplugs seem to work for super-hearing too. 
 
 When it first began, it took a lot to convince myself that I was n't mad. I started hearing unintelligible conversations in Swedish, and when I went looking for the source of these voices, I found my son looking like a sunflower. Some people had it much worse though. Let's just say that quite a few people did n't last long with their new power. 
 
 On the bright side ( if you can call it that ), I have a new hobby of reading obituaries. Call me what you will, but they have been getting rather interesting. There was one about a person who gained the ability to defy gravity - the family were n't left with much to mourn. And there was another about the woman who developed some kind of super-eating powers. Unfortunately, a dare proved that it was n't possible to swallow a fly, spider, bird, cat, dog, goat, cow, and horse, all in one sitting. 
 
 
 And so, though the world may now be a rather dangerous place until CERN manages to fix whatever they've managed to do, at least I can enjoy this break in the mundane, while it lasts. If anything, I think this has helped us all to learn to appreciate things better. Because who knows when the next disaster like this could happen? Not me or Gary, and certainly not Turn-Yellow Man.
