Re: re

. . . greatest crime fighter in the world next to superman

I'm with you, except for the "next to Superman" part. I still remember the day when my big brother told me that the Batman TV show was so stupid -- no way! A few years later I figured out that he was right. But it's a cool kind of stupid.

Yeah, he can fly. But I remember when Superman flew around the earth faster than the speed of light so that he could make time go backwards. I think that was the last time I watched Superman, except for the gay one.

It was too much like one of those ancient Greek plays where everything gets totally messed up, then the gods come in a fix everything at the end. Or when one whole season of Dallas turned out to be a dream because the writers made it so bad that they just couldn't work their way out of that one.

Besides, Superman just doesn't carry enough stuff on his belt.

It's funny that the anti-radioactive bat pill didn't bother me, but Superman going faster than the speed of light did. But then again, I suppose fantasy doesn't have to be logical.

And now for the list of things I sometimes carry on my belt:
1. cell phone
2. flashlight
3. knife
4. tape measure
5. glasses
6. slide rule
7. other stuff hung on or stuck in occasionally
Well, okay the slide rule has been in the drawer for a while now. But still, maybe I'm Batman and I didn't even know it!
