A Favorite Waste of Time
From the ever resourceful (and tempting) Whisky Prajer, comes a link to this site, a place guarranteed to suck in your valuable time. The picture noted here is just one example of the japes, jabs, and jujubees that the sexually-indeterminent Superdickery provides. All are authetic and unalterred, or at least that's what the FAQ state.This picture also indicates that the No Child Left Behind program should cover our superheroes' shortfalls as well. Yes, they, too, should not be left behind either. As we non-Super Mathematicians know, 20 X 16 X 10 does not equal 32,000. It's, like, closer to 196,015.66667, right?!?
A hat tip to WP, for once again giving a link to pass on. And, as he noted, time will pass by quickly as you guffaw and click.
Addendum: Spiderman, a favorite comic hero of mine, that usually comes up for me is, say, one like this one, from the 1980's. WP, waffling on his all-time favorite super-hero prefers Spidy to the Cowled Crusader. I've still got a soft spot for Ironman, who later turned into this Iron Man. No. just joking, although Ted Hughes' Iron Man is quite interesting in his own twisted unfortunate way.

Mr. S Gazzetti,
While profanities have been know to cross my lips and I am familiar with the bon mot, "dick", as on the fringes of such language, I will presume that by stating that "Superman really is a dick, isn't he?, you were referring to his detective skills.
That may well be the case; I prefer to continue thinking that S'man is not so much a "dick", as a tool. A tool of capitalist society who is peculiarly weakened by the nearness of the green stuff. Didn't know that kryptonite was an acceptable cuurency in some distant land.

IronMan has had some interesting incarnations to be sure, but none of them have had the longevity to make him a fave. When I was considering the ranks of superheros, I almost thought to put Daredevil at the top, but I realized he's only interesting when Frank Miller is in charge. The instant the reins are handed to someone else: zzzzz....
Spidey, for the most part, has experienced a benign corporate form of quality control (thankfully). Thank you for keeping the public record straight.

I wanted to say how much I needed to know the exact weight of 1 bean, now I can use my semi useable unit conversion skills to win at county fairs and get some money for a change, any idea of the weight of a jelly bean?
oh Super man was actually originally a Jewish superhero and on the side of the Allies in WWII in the fight against Fascism.
This is the way all Mathematics (Super or otherwise) should be taught! Always! Always! Always with exclamation points!
