Stuart: . . . if you’re dead set on a comic book, try this.
Penny: Oh, Hellblazer. What’s this about?
Stuart: A morally ambiguous confidence man who smokes, has lung cancer and is tormented by the spirits of the undead.
But really, I agree with a commenter above - pick one that's based on one of the tv adaptations, that way they can follow along with the show. There are several TV - comic tie ins. Avatar: The Last Airbender, Superman the Animated Series, Marvel Super Hero Squad Show, etc. The Marvel Super Hero Squad Show was particularly aimed at the little tykes.
You're referring to the Sonic Screwdriver ripoff the "Sonic Energizer", which looked like a tuning fork. That show was cancelled after ten episodes in 1977 - 9 years after the Sonic Screwdriver came out.
Well, both the Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver and Gary Seven's Servo were introduced in March 1968. The sonic screwdriver on March 16 and the Servo on March 29. However, the Servo was a true "deus ex machina" device when it was introduced, but the sonic screwdriver was just used to open a valve when it was introduced.
An autogyro's rotor isn't powered by a perpetual motion device, it is possible to stall even if it's not easy or sudden.
You're right. It isn't powered by a perpetual motion device. It's powered by the acceleration of gravity which causes air to pass through the rotor, making the rotor spin. As your acceleration due to gravity increases, so does the relative velocity of the air going through the rotor, which increases lift thereby slowing descent. Therefore the autogyro will still descend but it will do so relatively slowly and not catastrophically.
1. They know their mark is weak and they want to take it out of trademark law and into contract law. Basically, while they may be unsuccessful under trademark theory because the mark is generic or weak because it's merely descriptive, there's nothing that prevents a party from contracting away their right to use a word without another party's permission. So what it boils down to is if you want to use a 'book' name or 'wall' name and you have a facebook account that you want to keep, just form a corporation (which has a separate legal existence) that has not agreed to the facebook terms and have it hold the name.
2. Under trademark law if you fail to enforce your mark you can lose it constructively. Putting these terms in their contract helps prove in court that they have been taking action to enforce their mark.

will finally get some respect!
Don't you mean Gary Seven's Servo is almost a reality?
their end goal is to use red blood cells as a vehicle for drug delivery
Now they'll have probable cause if the K9's detect that you have red blood cells.
- sarcasm off.
In all seriousness, gold nano particles are being explored medically in some pretty freakin' cool ways - to kill cancer by heating the gold with light, kill cancer by heating the gold radio waves in places where light can't reach and targetted delivery of chemotherapy.

protons are huge mofos. Wake me up when they're using it to measure the mass of a neutrino.
