[WP] You have the ability to know a lie when you hear it, and to know the truth when lied to. Society appoints you to a high judiciary position, but there's nobody to check if YOU'RE lying when you decide justice. Which case do you remember most?	10239
[WP] You're a supervillain -- but you can't do crime every day, it's exhausting. You've got to have some normal days too. On one such occasion, while out running errands, you encounter the alter-ego of your nemesis, the hero... apparently also just trying to have a normal day.	3808
[WP] You awake in Hell and are surprised to find it relatively pleasant. The Devil explains that, yes, they do punish evil souls; but the criteria for getting into Heaven are so strict that he has decided to provide a reasonable alternative for people who weren't that bad.	498
[WP] "Now, if you cross the river Styx you'll end up in Hades, which you don't want, unless... wait where are you from again? Did you follow a specific God?" Turns out the afterlife is a convoluted series of suburban neighborhoods, and you're just trying to get directions from the locals.	215
[WP] You have the power to heal any living creature, at a steep cost of shortening your own lifespan. You also have the power to steal more time from the lives of others.	107

[WP] A prankster genie grants a little girl's wish to speak with animals. Now every animal on the planet is born with the ability to speak the languages native to its region... and humans find themselves having several conversations they never expected to have.	37
[WP] WELCOME to the Library of Your Life! Its shelves are stocked with strange titles, including one reading: Unobserved Near-Death Experiences. This one is MASSIVE; thumbing through, you learn about some crazy times you almost died... and had no idea.	30
[WP] A hero has the ability to project clones of himself across obstacles, taking over the new body to continue his quest -- and leaving the previous copy of himself behind. You are one of those decoys, but you've survived.	24
[WP] You wake seated in a stark, windowless room. A man in a suit sits across from you with a file -- "We know. We know everything. Why don't you tell us your side?" At first you're totally confused, but as your eyes fall on pictures from the file you begin to remember things... distant things.	22
