The air is so thick with cigarette smoke, you can cut it with a knife. Blues is pouring all over the stage. We are in Mojo’s blues bar, where the air is heavy and the beers are cold.<\/p>\n
Monica turns around and hugs one of the musicians. She is surprised to see him; he’s a family friend, she explains. Copenhagen is small town, after all. Her date, Fred, arrives and I proceed to interrogate them.<\/p>\n
If you were to have a super power, what would it be?<\/strong> Would you rather fight one horse-sized duck, or a hundred duck-sized horses?<\/strong> Would you rather live an average life and be forgotten, or go down in history for something terrible?<\/strong> Half a million DKK falls into your lap. What do you do with it?<\/strong> What is the last crime you committed?<\/strong> We think not, Monica. But maybe Fred can take you for a raid on Tivoli before the Christmas season ends! <\/p>\n universitypost@adm.ku.dk<\/p>\n Like us on Facebook <\/a> for features, guides and tips on upcoming events.

\nMonica: I watched Superman last night. So flight.
\nFred: My super power would be the ability to stop time. (Note: there’s no hesitation at all; clearly Fred has thought about this question before the University Post posed it to him). I’d use my powers to do good.<\/p>\n
\nFred: 100 duck horses. You can crowdsurf on miniature horses.
\nMonica: A horse-sized duck. I would just tickle it or something. <\/p>\n
\nMonica: I would never want to be awful. My family would remember me for as long as I need to be remembered.
\nFred: It takes a lot of effort to be terrible. I want to lead a perfectly average life.<\/p>\n
\nMonica: I’m fairly pragmatic. Host a big party for all my friends, I guess. I’d save the rest.
\nFred: How many lollipops do you think you can buy with half a million DKK?<\/p>\n
\nFred: It was a while ago, but I broke into an amusement park and climbed on a roller-coaster.
\nMonica: Skinny dipping at Islands Brygge at 3 am. Wait, is that even illegal?<\/p>\n
