Ready for the good times. - Steven "The One" Perez

Superman feels that he must embody the spirit of justice in order to have the privilege of being a crime fighter, so any conflict he has he deals with in private in his fortress of solitude. Batman feels it is his calling and his curse to fight crime; its something thrust upon him so he views it differently. He is willing to do what he feels needs to be done and make that sacrifice of innocence so that others might not have to make the same choice. - Aaron Krug

Ran out of words back there - So, to sum it up, Bruce is way more of a hero than Superman because he's doing something he doesn't need to, and has to really go "out of his way" to accomplish. For Superman, defeating a villain is as easy as waking up in the morning (which I've wondered if he ever does, or if he sleeps in the blue/red suit). No biggie. I admire people who move away from their natural tendency to do something big. - adityavm

Aditya: After the crisis storyline, they have made a lot of efforts to bring Superman closer to human levels of existence. He is still stronger than any human, but he has limits as well. If you have watched the recent Justice League episodes, you will remember him getting thoroughly beaten up time and again. - Vijayendra Mohanty

that would be awesome! - Courtney S.

@candy - please post that PowerPoint somewhere -- I think you know how much I enjoyed that presentation :-) It was terrific! and might inspire @warmaiden. - Stephanie•CogSciLibrarian

i thought the presentation was hilarious- but I got the impression that at least 75% of the audience didn't get it. - Christina Pikas

This is solidly in the number 2 spot of fave Beatles songs. - pea ♥s un-Mondays

what's up, homes? - Bren

I'd rather jump on Sarah... in a non political way - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ

lol! Nice one, NOAH... - Live4Soccer

and see, i've been holding off on using P&P quotes cuz so many of them are taken directly out of the book. AND it's my FAVORITE book of all time. sigh. - pea ♥s un-Mondays

My wife had to drag me to the Keira Knightly version, but I loved it. The thing I really hate about watching a Jane Austin movie is the tendency to speak in High English for a period of time after viewing. - Brian Norwood

"They are the breathtaking landscapes and historic buildings which help define the south-west coast of England.   The report says 170 miles of coastline could be affected by erosion The familiar, rugged coastlines, cliffs and beaches of Devon, Cornwall, Dorset and Somerset are quintessentially English. Ancient monuments, pathways and sheltered harbours all provide clues to a rich maritime history. But the National Trust, responsible for the care of special places across the country, warns many of its sites in the south-west are now at risk from sea level rise, flooding and erosion brought by climate change." - RAPatton via Bookmarklet

Breathtaking is right. - Mathew A. Koeneker

My dear rat , so lovely - enigma

I just want the little bear... - Joe Dawson

i keep smiling when i see this in my feed :) - mike "glemak" dunn

From BBC News: "UK researchers are using microscopic "nanoprobes" to find new drugs to tackle antibiotic resistance. The tiny ultra-sensitive probes can measure how well a drug binds to bacteria and its ability to weaken and destroy the bug. The researchers tested the silicon-based technology on vancomycin, one of the few remaining antibiotics against infections such as MRSA The initial results are published in Nature Nanotechnology. It is the first time this type of nanotechnology has been used in screening for new drugs." - Mark Trapp via Bookmarklet

on a related but more serious note, at one large organization I worked for many years ago, their ignorance regarding linguistic issues (including different forms of English) led to unfortunate consequences. e.g., blacklisting profiles that listed a (real) U.K. city, censoring expression from users whose (real) last names contained words which were considered vulgarities in American English, and so on. - Adam Lasnik

Glen: I certainly hope he was able to keep his pecker up when teased about using rubbers. - David HC Soul

Indeed, I've visited England enough times to quite personally understand the language gap (and I don't just mean the Tube's "Mind the Gap" which inexplicably causes us yanks to chuckle every time). And Mona, so what did the *chocolate* version taste like? :) - Adam Lasnik

Oh man, how I wish I could support this guy and this restaurant. I HATE HATE HATE HATE tipping! It is a horrid practice that makes me (and I think many others) uncomfortable and annoyed. In contrast, I love the way dining out works in Europe: the price you see on the menu is the price you pay -- service and taxes included! Read one of my earlier rants here: http://www.bladam.com/main/ent... [hat tip for this article, Aviv: http://friendfeed.com/aviv] - Adam Lasnik

I still haven't figured it all out :P - John Mueller

A gorgeous day in Howth, an outlying area of Dublin, Ireland. [and hmm, I wonder how Friendfeed chooses which photos to show. In this particular case, it chose three of the less catchy ones from this set. Bummer.] - Adam Lasnik

But Teeling speaks to me ;-) - BeeLing

It was catchy for *you* which is why I took it and also put it in the album, but not everyone would appreciate it :D - Adam Lasnik

the boys contest and an october moonrise - RAPatton

I like the walk home and the agony of defeat - Lindsey Smith

I liked the moonrise in the trees - RAPatton

"Paul Rennie on a classic expression of New York sophistication that is still popular half a century later" - Baard Overgaard Hansen via Bookmarklet

Analysis of the classic movie poster by the Guardian. - Baard Overgaard Hansen

btw, I liked The Nun's Story (mentioned in the link) and everyone always skips over Sabrina! - Michael W. May
