My 9 year old daughter has spent the last several years doing her absolute best to sneak up on me. She has yet to pull it off. Sometimes it is just as simple as her pant legs rubbing together, the sound of her feet padding along the tile floor, the movement of air near me, etc.
Sometimes I just "know" she is there.
So #8 I would dispute, though I don't necessarily say that without a doubt it is just qi... Sure, you can use a large number of explanations to describe what is going on that allows me to just "know" she is there. One of those explanations is that my qi, when extended, senses the movement of the other person's qi, and when they come in contact I am "alerted" of the other person's intent.
There are other more Western and "scientific" sounding explanations, but I don't know that there are many that sound any less strange than the movement of qi. If you know of one, feel free to post it!
As for the others:
1. Fly - Depends on what I had for dinner the night before! :fart:
2. Dye your hair blonde - Why would I want to do that?
3. Shoot fireballs out of your hand - Maybe not from my hands, but after I've had chili or enchiladas... Well, just stay out from behind me! :fart:
4. Set yourself on fire - See #3 above, and imagine an accidental discharge while in confined spaces... :fart:
5. Make your eyes completly white - I don't need qi to do that... I use my mutant abilities to make my eyes completely white!
6. Teleport yourself across the room - Well, I don't think it counts as "teleportation," but if I do it just right, I can darn near blow myself across the room after eating enough saurkraut! :fart:
7. Move objects without touching them - See replies to #s 1, 3, 4 and 6 above!
8. Know someone's behind you without them making a sound - Been discussed.
9. Make dust form a circle around you then make it dissapear - Well, not dust, exactly, but certainly gas! :fart:
10. Go at super-human speed - See reply to #6 above! :fart:
