I have to admit, if I hadn't read Watchmen, I'd be completely wrong about what I thought it was about. -- nm - nubby Feb 16, 20:28 13
- I believe it's about superheroes that decide screw humanity when some bad guy entity starts hunting them down and no one cares. But that's all I'm - Qale Feb 16, 20:44 1

There should be a requirement for people that attend live tapings of TV shows that they don't have a super-annoying laugh. -- nm - nubby Feb 16, 20:25 7
