  1. Re:Update on Fundraiser For "White Male" Illness Dropped · · Score: 1

    They should only fund a disease that the Carleton student association members have. I'm sure the world could use a cure for ignorance and stupidity. Obviously the university isn't doing that job.

  3. Re:Blame Canada! on Canada Comet Lengthened the Ice Age · · Score: 1

    You know why it's called Canada, eh?

    It's because when the country was founded, whiskey came in cans. There was nothing else to do in the cold, so everyone wanted a "can a day".

  4. Re:Mixed Feelings definitely on Watchmen Movie Trailer Is Out · · Score: 5, Informative

    This is from memory way back in the eighties, but I seem to remember that Moore originally wanted to do this as a "parallel world" using the DC characters, but the company said no. I could be misremembering. But Night Owl was supposed to be this world's batman, and Dan Dreiberg struck me as the only really decent character of the whole bunch. As such, I'd expect him to be less "dark" than the other characters.

    The Watchmen characters were originally supposed to be the characters DC purchased from Charlton Comics. When DC decided to use them in their universe instead, Alan Moore created new characters based on them. Nite Owl is his version of the Blue Beetle.

    Was it the Invisible Woman who first called him Mr. Fantastic?

    What about the poor schmuck just excited about going off to visit his mistress? Or his girlfriend, knowing he's about to get his first action in 9 months? Or any member of Congress?

    Maybe they'll just make these things illegal too.
