Source of Inspiration?
I’ve read a good bit of X-Men comics in my day, but I have to admit that I never once heard of this book before today. It seems that Wilmer Shiras’ 1953 novel, “Children of the Atom”, may have served as Stan Lee’s and Jack Kirby’s inspiration for what would one day become Marvel Comic’s…

Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous?
Driving through campus this week, I saw an advertisement for a local sorority’s formal, billed as “The Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous”, I was a little bit repulsed, and considered calling the sorority to complain on the tastelessness of it.

I yam sofa king we todd edd!
I yam sofa king we todd edd! Heard this for the first time in years just recently, and I still haven’t gotten over the childish and immature humor of it. I just love this statement. Who was the sick bastard who dreamt this up? I realize that it is not rocket science nor a Shakespearian…
