So I was hanging out with some electrical engineering people, when these guys come into the room with japanese power ranger suits on. They were like, total *****, but they were more powerful so we sorta had to let them stay around. But then I discovered I had psychic powers, and I started practicing with them, like, levitating random objects.
Later on the power ranger dudes were leaving and I thought I'd try my power, but it had no effect on any of them, figured I must have still been too weak. Then Tak was there and he explained that levitation has its limits - just like everything else it suffers from the inverse square law and so you actually have to be decently close to the thing you want to levitate. Also it helps if you twist your hand as you do it.
So then there was a milk bottle, and I thought I'd practice using the new technique, so I hovered my hand over the cap, started focusing my powers, and with a twist of my hand the milk cap unscrewed itself and flung itself 3m away. I was so proud. Next there was an eraser on the ground, and I wanted to see if I could levitate it from standing height, just to check if the exponential decay thing was true.
It was. I couldn't do it. So I had to start with my hand closer to the eraser and then I could levitate it.
