- Who thinks that the President actually opens mail? -- nm - zork Apr 17, 08:35
- [deleted] 1
  - honestly, I just kind of assume every president gets letters with "suspicious substances" in them pretty constantly, because really it's such an easy - mafic Apr 17, 08:36
- See conflicting report about whether it was addressed to Obama or to another Senator. Also seeing something about a suspect in custody. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 17, 08:29 1
  - "The letter comes a day after lawmakers said a letter was mailed to Sen. Roger Wicker that tested positive for poisonous ricin." -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 17, 08:34

- he should throw some sharks into the mix to really make it scary dangerous. - Mel Profit Apr 17, 08:21
- Man, if you've got to come that close to death to feel alive, you lead an empty, empty life. -- nm - TWuG Apr 17, 08:18 2
  - a guy I met in the south pacific several years back is a pretty high-profile BASE jumper. he's actually a pretty normal dude. - mafic Apr 17, 08:33
  - if it's the same guy I've seen do this kind of thing before, he's admitted to severe depression and a sort of passive suicide wish. -- nm - Reagen Apr 17, 08:24
- how is he not a smear? -- nm - mafic Apr 17, 08:15 1
  - *trying to come up with a pap joke* -- nm - zork Apr 17, 08:18

  - There's a preview of the FA Cup final today as Man City face off against Wigan -- nm - CQ Apr 17, 08:11
- as long none of them are Bayern i'm OK with that -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Apr 17, 08:09
- Makes for a good rivalry. I've basically forced my wife into liking the Swans, so she's hates Cardiff City -- nm - CQ Apr 17, 08:08 3
  - we get a lot of Swansea news here -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Apr 17, 08:10
  - she's? B2 really rubbed off on you. - zork Apr 17, 08:10 1
    - Yeah, She's All That was a leap, heh -- nm - CQ Apr 17, 08:12
- let's just hope they can tie all the time to keep on winning! -- nm - Beaker Apr 17, 08:07 7
  - Yes, because all they must have done was tie! - Reagen Apr 17, 08:09 6
    - win a team wins the Stanley Cup with a 0-0 call me. -- nm - Beaker Apr 17, 08:15 5
      - They didn't win a championship. They just finished the (whole) season with the best record, and so, they get promoted. -- nm - zork Apr 17, 08:16
      - Or, to be more analogous, clinches first place in their division with a shootout loss. -- nm - Reagen Apr 17, 08:16 3
        
        just let me tease the soccer fans in peace dammit! -- nm - Beaker Apr 17, 08:19 1

  - The Vagina Strikes Back -- nm - MDH Apr 17, 08:07 4
    - you are not following the RULES. -- nm - loosilu Apr 17, 08:08 3
      - Return of the Vagina follows the rules, at least. Because luke skywalker. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 17, 08:14 1
        
        no. -- nm - zork Apr 17, 08:15

- LIR - if you missed on B2 / Best Superman Scene (thanks JLU and Bruce Timm) - Capstern Apr 17, 08:13 [youtube]
- That was Superman? I thought it was Jesus. - TWuG Apr 17, 08:04 29
  - superman did way more magic than jesus. -- nm - mafic Apr 17, 08:07 3
    - and more than Galdalf ever did -- nm - zork Apr 17, 08:15
    - Heck, when Superman died he was resurrected as 4 different people. Let's see the holy trinity beat that! -- nm - Ender Apr 17, 08:10 1
      - Daaaaaaad.... First Neil Patrick Harris and now Superman!!! -- nm - Jesus Apr 17, 08:13

  - Potato, Potato. -- nm - Ender Apr 17, 08:06
  - Well, since Jor-El sent him here to be our God... - Spawn Apr 17, 08:04 22
    - The *only* thing I like is that it sets up Batman taking his ass down, that much better. -- nm - Spawn Apr 17, 08:06 21
      - [deleted] 20
        
        No, I *want* t o like it. Hell, I actually liked the last one (that everyone seems to hate). This just looks like a mess. -- nm - Spawn Apr 17, 08:09 19
        
        I actually liked that one too. -- nm - zork Apr 17, 08:14 1
        
        They should make Superman be like the Doctor. He can regenerate and they can cast different actors if they like. -- nm - Spawn Apr 17, 08:15
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        I saw the last one in the theater a few times! -- nm - Spawn Apr 17, 08:14 2
        
        that is pixie level dumb -- nm - Beaker Apr 17, 08:19 1
        
        Hey, I am not really a Superman hater. - Spawn Apr 17, 08:36
        
        The last one wasnt horrible but Luthor as a baddie in a movie doesnt match up. The plane catch was awesome -- nm - Capstern Apr 17, 08:10 12
        
        My problem with most DC character movies is that the characters were designed initially as Ideals. - TWuG Apr 17, 08:14 10
        
        I hate when people describe marvel as the ideal. I like both..hell I have characters and logos from - Capstern Apr 17, 08:24 2
        
        I don't like Marvel comics much. But the characters are perfect for film and TV treatments. - TWuG Apr 17, 08:36
        
        Having to be perfect is not a weakness. - Spawn Apr 17, 08:33
        
        But wait, there is no rock in this version! - Spawn Apr 17, 08:16
        
        To be fair, Supes has developed a new weakness in the last decade. The lack of phone booths makes it a lot harder to change these days. -- nm - Ender Apr 17, 08:16 5
        
        heh. although that hardly matters when you're as fast as the Flash and can go elsewhere and back in a blink -- nm - zork Apr 17, 08:19 4
        
        Technically, Flash is faster. (on foot at least.) He and supes are 3-0-2 in foot races. -- nm - Ender Apr 17, 08:25 3
        
        close enough to make my point -- nm - zork Apr 17, 08:35
        
        I was going to point this out - but depends on what era flash :) -- nm - Capstern Apr 17, 08:26 1
        
        Yeah, because DC reboots every decade or so. -- nm - Spawn Apr 17, 08:40
        
        There's a strong streak of good in you, Superman. But then nobody's perfect... almost nobody. - Spawn Apr 17, 08:11
