   Uh... is NBC paying you to do this?   
      
   I'm generally not interested in promotional merchandise. I might buy a mug   
   like the one Conan has on his desk (not the Eisenhower one -- the white one   
   with artwork on it).

   Being a person who values privacy, I'm inclined to side with invisibility,   
   although after further thought, I think I may have overestimated how much   
   fun that would be. Even if I were invisible, it would be difficult to go   
   totally unnoticed. Unless I were extremely cautious, people near me would   
   be able to hear me breathing and moving. Plus there would be the hassle of   
   avoiding collisions with people who were unaware of my presence. Thus,   
   whenever I was invisible I'd have to be constantly vigilant. I suppose   
   turning invisible would be a nifty way to sneak up on people and surprise   
   them, but I can do that now without any special powers.   
      
   I can't imagine turning into a 100-foot giant would be any more fun,   
   though. I'd have to try extra hard to avoid unintentionally destroying   
   things with my huge feet and limbs. People would inevitably find out about   
   my ability and start asking me to rescue their cats from trees. In the end,   
   invisibility still wins for me.
