I love squirrels, but I do admire this solution.

I think it would've worked better with one of the big plastic ones.
I don't get why people are ok with feeding birds, but not squirrels.

The reasons I've been given is that they go through the feed much faster, and they tend to keep the birds away at times. For some people, there seems to also be a general dislike for rodents and rodent-like animals. I don't understand that attitude, for what it is.

Too funny! After the original Superman TV series ended prematurely with the death of George Reeves, this "actor-safe" series was attempted using the same set as the orginal series.

I was watching a show about the history of the Superman franchises. A writer from one of the shows pointed out that Superman is like Jesus: We see him as a baby, then again at about age thirteen as he begins to understand his purpose, and then again at ~age thirty when he emerges from obscurity to save the world and fulfill his destiny. They played to this theme by making a controversial trailer for one series that showed a crucified superboy.

Funny! I never noticed.

My high school literature teacher said that Superman is G-d with Krytonite.

I saw that show it made me lose respect for those writers. Do they get their ideas from bazooka joe?

First off they crucified him (shirtless) to show off his pecks. That should be blatantly obvious.

Their argument was lame compared to the other more obvious parallels ; you could say anyone (even Richard Nixon) has had a childhood, teenage years, and adulthood and claim this is a trinity just like Jesus,God and Holy Ghost.

Some more concrete ones the writers themselves did not notice:
Jorel gave up his only son (Kalel) to save the Earth. When Jorel speaks in either movies or the TVshow Smallville he is generally a dissembodied voice which is very much how many think a conversation with God would go down.
Superman has godlike powers (duh.)
Im sure there are more.

The Smallville just appeared too eager to pat themselves on the back for using the Superman franchise; a franchise which they themselves did not invent nor are they the first to give it a God/Superman spin.

In Chris Ware's version (my favourite Superman) Superman is generally a jerk but often is God as well which is at least sardonic.

In a Chris Ware Universe: after signing his autograph for you, Superman will sleep with your mom and then pat you on the head before he flys up up and away!

Uh oh, it seems that I have dared to tread upon holy waters! :biggrin:

I think the reference to his age gets back to the three-act play concept. We see him briefly as a baby, then briefly as a teen, and then in his full glory as an adult, with nothing in between, which is how the biblical story of Jesus plays out.

I don't see how your comment about Jorel sacrificing his son applies. Maybe this gets back to the comic books, rather than the movies, but the movie version is that Jorel was primarily trying to save his son, not save the earth. The rest makes sense. I would add the obvious point that Superman is all about good vs evil; well, truth, justice, and the American way, so an American Jesus. :biggrin: Until that vixen, Mary Magdalene, uh, I mean Lois Lane, got ahold of him, Superman was as pure as a new-fallen snow.

Awesome!
Cool physics is involved in here! :approve:
 
Yeah, same with me!
And the stunts were cool too! :smile:
 
^well, something like that...you are just missing out the hood, and the body, I guess. :smile:
 
Today (or more like yesterday, it is past midnight here) in city of Białystok, two trains collided. There were several oil, gas and LPG tank cars involved. After collision fire started, then one of the tanks exploded:

Perhaps other tank exploded too at some other moment, I am not sure.

Incredibly, there were no casualties, two people were slightly wounded.
