8. I almost included that in my poll.
But thought it was too broad a definition (with a few exceptions, all birds can fly).

28. The lack of need for clothes, shoes, etc.
Being able to comfortably cruise around naked in the cold rain and snow would be pretty cool

29. I'll go with strength. I'd like to be stronger.
My husband is super strong for a man his size. He's about the same height as me, or maybe an inch taller, but he's got one hundred pounds more of muscles than I do. It's not fair because he can pin me down so that I can't move and pick me up over his head with one hand. I wish I could do the same to him.
