I'm pretty sure using a dinner table as a hoverboard might make your claim more valid, actually. The only thing losing you points is the fact that you didn't pull it out of your belt or activate it from your shoes, but since you're obviously only descended from Batman, I can overlook it.

The table found me. I just borrowed it and set it free. And what do you think cavemen ate off?

Probably off of the ground or right out of the saber tooth. You borrowed it and set it free? Was it borrowed from Disney? Did it sing songs, too?

Early man learned how to cook. It's one of the key points to our evolution as a species. And they weren't quadrupedal, which means it's likely they used raised surfaces for preparation and eating.

Fine, I let it go. The thing wanted to go higher than I did.

What are other key points?

But... There's no gravity today. Today's the one day you could go higher than high and not end up a splat mark on the ground. How high did you go?

We became bipeds, the period of our childhood got longer, we manufactured tools, we began cooking our food for calorific advantage, we formed societal groups.

...Are you floating, today?

So basically... cliques, power saws, and Big Macs. Impressive and sad all at once.

You can't answer a question with a question.

You could go higher than high and not end up a smear on the ground. I have to be careful not to get stuck somewhere I can't get back from.

Are you floating.

That's true. There's no local fire department to come around after midnight and Peter can't fly anymore.

[She 'ha.ha's.]

I haven't hit my head on the ceiling yet.

Do you want to? Not hit your head. Go higher.

The idea of being that high up or getting stuck in a tree doesn't bother me, so... sure. With the no gravity thing, it actually might be a little bit like really flying.

Today's laws of gravity would be more useful still if you could choose when to defy them. Is your window open?

You can always choose when to let go and float away, but I think that's about as good as it gets. And yeah, it's open. The curtains are closed so I don't accidentally float out, but it's open. Why, were you planning on levitating a table up so I could beat you in a race?

No, I was thinking about coming down.

Oh. Well. Hang on. Let me shut and lock my window.

[Well there's just a sudden rustling noise as though the device has been pushed hastily into a pocket (it has) and the very distant sound of quick footsteps abruptly cutting off in response to that.]
