Doesn't this BUG you about Superman?

Mabey his powers carry through to the object he touches.


What bugs me is your poor grammar! 😉
 
well, I am having problems with it now. I never really thought of it before.

Before I was always wondering what they did when they had bad guys before superman. I'm sure they just let giant robots and aliens beat the tar out of the city and hoped they went away.
 
what i wonder is that when he changes into his outfit, where does he put his street clothes? there isn't much room in his superhero outfit to put that stuff. and does he wash his superhero outfit himself? I mean if he uses a dry cleaner, they would be able to put 2 and 2 together i think. Also how does he get his hair cut or shave since his hair is supposedly so incredibly strong? there are so many tasks he would have to do himself to keep the super-everything a secret (cut his own hair, do his laundry secretly, etc). I would be too lazy and just say what the heck, I don't care who knows

Heh, I remember that...😉 Now there's something that never comes to mind when you're a kid....

"Scientific Disproof of Santa?s Existence

There are 2 billion children in the world (persons under 18). But
since Santa doesn't (appear to) handle Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, or
Buddhist children, that reduces the workload by 85% of the
total--leaving 378 million according to the Population Reference
Bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household,
that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there is at least one good
child per house.

Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different
time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to
west(which seems logical). This works out to 822.6 visits per second.
This is to say that for each Christian household with good children,
Santa has 1/1000 th of a second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump
down the chimney, fill the stocking, distribute the remaining presents
under the tree, eat whatever
snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the
sleigh and move on to the next house. Assuming that each of these 91.8
million stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which, of
course, we know to be false but for the purposes of our calculations
we will accept), we are now talking about 0.78 miles per household, a
total trip of 75.5 million miles, not counting stops to do what most
of us do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding, etc. That means
that Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second,3000 times the
speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made
vehicle on earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles
per second - a conventional reindeer can run, at tops 25-30 miles per
hour.

The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming
each child gets nothing more then a medium sized LEGO set (2 lbs), the
sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably
described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull no
more than 300 pounds. Even granting the "flying reindeer" can pull TEN
TIMES that normal amount, we cannot do the job with eight, or even
nine--we need 214,200 reindeer. This increased the payload--not even
counting the weight of the sleigh--to353,430 tons. Again for
comparison, this is four times the weight of the HMS Queen
Elizabeth.

353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air
resistance. This will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as
spacecrafts reentering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair will
absorb 14.3QUINTILLION joules of energy per second, each. In short,
they will burst into flames almost instantaneously, exposing the
reindeer behind them, and creating a deafening sonic boom in their
wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized
within 4.26 thousandths of a second. Santa meanwhile, will be subject
to centrifugal forces of 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250
lb. Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back
of the sleigh by a 4,315,015 pound force. In conclusion, if Santa ever
DID deliver presents on Christmas eve, he's now dead. "

LMAO!!


<< All known forms of kryptonian life have superpowers. The same must hold true of living kryptonian sperm. We may reasonably assume that kryptonian sperm are vulnerable only to starvation and to green kryptonite; that they can travel with equal ease through water, air, vacuum, glass, brick, boiling steel, solid steel, liquid helium, or the core of a star; and that they are capable of translight velocities. >>

ok some issues with superman


1) Shaving: He uses a mirror and his laser eyes to shave
2) Hair Cut: Assuming the same
3) His Suit: They always said its close enough to his body that it is protected
4) His cape: no clue, guess its one of those smart capes



anyone watching the new show smallvile?

1) Moving fast around people, wouldnt they feel the air?
2) Why does he get knocked around so much? He cant seem to hold his feet
3) GET THE HELL OUT OF SMALLVILE, he is like 20 times weaker and slower than he could be because he is surrounded by kryptonite all the time


anyway, superman is just cool
 
You must be looking for something wrong with superman, maybe 'cause you're jealous that he's got super powers and the ladies...😉
 
I don't like how there's sound in Star Wars movies during the outer space scenes. Why can't it just be complete silent? 😉
 
If Superman gets knocked down from a high altitude, the pavement cracks. If you drop a regular man from a high altitude, the pavement does not crack. Is Superman several times the mass of a normal person? Where does all this mass go when he becomes Clark Kent?
 
One possible reason why the building doesn't fall apart is that some writers has hinted that Superman has limited telekenesis which he controls subconsciously. He subconsciously uses his telekenesis to hold the object together so that it doesn't fall apart as easily due to the strains of gravity. Hence, when he's carrying an object, it seems lighter than it actually is.

Superboy, being an imperfect clone of Superman manifests this supposed telekenesis in more readily observable forms sometimes. See comics published around the times when the Doomsday thing was big.

Yes, Superman has more mass than humans, but that mass is very tightly packed together, which is a factor in his invulnerability as well as the aura of invulnerability, which could be another manifestation of his unconscious telekenesis which is creating this force field around him which helps to protect him. His cape does get torn more often than his skin tight outfit since it's further away from this field.

As for the glasses thing, some writers have stated that Superman also has limited telepathic powers which he also uses unconsciously to look different when he is Clark Kent. This explanation is pretty lame though.
 
I don't get how Kryptonite came from his home planet Krypton where all his people used to live but if he gets within a few feet of it, it just about kills him. Why weren't the rest of his people suffering the same fate? What's the deal with that?

i have the same questions.. why is that?
 
Theoretically, Kryptonite didn't exist until Krypton exploded, so the inhabitants didn't get sick from living on their planet because there wasn't any Kryptonite in existance anywhere in the universe yet.

its actually not kryptonite, but the radiation emitted by kryptonite. It affects all kryptonians, because since it came from their home planet, it probably vibrates at a frequency, or emits elements, which is harmful to them. Same reasoning why plutonium radiation is harmful to humans.
