And on a lighter note...

I was watching X-Men yesterday and thought, who makes all of these crazy gadgets, and equipment that super heros and super villains use? I'm not talking about the movie props & special effects people. I'm talking about in comicbook land. Who made the handcuffs that Magneto used to cuff Rogue to the Statue of Liberty power amplifier thing?

The hero/villain or someone on their team usually make the big important stuff, weapons, ruby sunglasses, team uniforms, etc. Is there some sort of super hero/villain supermarket? "Bluelight special on all plasma based weaponry, on aisle 4A".

As far as I can tell ACME CO. already has an exclusive contract with the Coyote in regards to capturing one elusive Road Runner.

So anybody got any ideas who is behind the scenes making this equipment? Batman couldn't be making all of his equipment, he has to protect Gotham and be Bruce Wayne how could he have the time to make the small expendable stuff. And c'mon are we to believe that the Monarch is capable of building a floating cocoon fortress? He was shopping at the Venture Compound yard sale, and I'm pretty sure Dr. Venture didn't make it.

Any ideas? Any at all?


I'm not against comics at all, I enjoy them quite a bit. This is just a random post that might provoke some responses. Like a Beatles deathmatch who wins and in what order do they die?

So it's 9/11 for a few more minutes

Actually I didn't even realize that it was today. Until I read a post over at Addisonrd.com

The post, written by a guy who was living 6 blocks from the towers, who heard them fall and saw it on tv seconds later. Really an interesting read, it's not too long I think it's worth a read. The link above will take you right to the story.

CD Review...

Ok now that I've got your attention, I came across this CD review on Dvorak.org, and I thought I know one or two music aficionados read this so I figured I'd clue them into some hip music. The review came from SFGate.com

The donkey not only has longer ears than the horse but also typically eats much less. Also, its fur is not waterproof. The domesticated animal, Equus asinus, can defend itself with a powerful kick from its hind legs. While present in early American society, the donkey's popularity was not widespread until the Gold Rush, thanks to its social disposition and ability to carry tools. Many people consider the donkey a cute and comical animal, but it has a reputation for being stubborn. A popular German proverb contends that a donkey can dress up in a lion suit, but its ears will always stick out and reveal its true identity. The donkey is helpful in herding sheep, cattle or goats. The animal is also commonly known as a jackass, burro, jennet, hinny and ass. It has a loud, brassy voice that goes, "Hee-haw! Hee-haw! Hee-haw!"

PARIS
WARNER BROS.


Ok that made no sense, is Paris a donkey? Or is it a really good country album. Whatever it is I'm pretty sure it's a terrible album.
