When I was a teenager I got a big kick of this essay by Larry Niven that imagines what would happen if Superman really had sex with a mortal woman -- you know, from a physics standpoint:
"The purpose of this article is to point out some medical drawbacks to being a kryptonian among human beings, and to suggest possible solutions."
Today, not rocking on it quite so much.
But worth a read. (NSFW, obviously)

But a Bic ballpoint pen?
Since taking delivery of my pen I have been very happy with the quality of ink deposition on the various types of paper that I have used. On the first day when I excitedly unwrapped my pen (thanks for the high quality packaging Amazon!) I just couldn't contain my excitement and went around finding things to write on, like the shopping list on the notice board in our kitchen, the Post-it notes next to the phone, and on my favourite lined A4 pad at the side of my desk.

Video: And now, here's the opening to a Superman cartoon for the 1980s...with John Williams score!
Superman from the 80s? by far the coolest cartoon EVER! I wants it!!
ReplyDelete"Steampunk Parademon" just joined the ranks of the Best Combinations of Words Ever.
ReplyDeleteNo Honorable Mention for "Zombie Gordon." Sorry.
Also: I've always thought that Superman should just get some Tantric shit going. I mean, he can control his strength enough to shake hands & whatever. All he needs is to TRY.
Steampunk Barda = win, IMHO. Look at it this way - at least we don't have her on a stripperpole candy cane. ^_~
ReplyDeleteAnd the animation for the 1980s Superman cartoon looked awesome.
Re: biro reviews, you're going to have to blame b3ta.com for that, as they ever so gently encouraged people to do it in their newsletter a little while ago.
ReplyDeleteThat gorilla was straight up PUNKED by Superman.
ReplyDeleteTake that you dirty ape!
