Newton,

Yes, superhumanly impossible. There's no possible way a human could adopt the regenerative properties of a starfish. For the record, I never had a problem admitting we are superhuman- teleportation isn't what anyone would consider subtle, after all. Superpowers however, I take umbrage with.

And yes, I understand the pluralization of ourselves could be telling. However in most cases, I believe it will be interpreted differently. Perhaps not flattering, but inaccurate nevertheless.

I suppose I can appreciate your enthusiasm at points.

PS. Alternatively, it is entirely possible you could walk across the hall yourself.
