Nope, unfortunately.

He wanted to know how far along the series had gotten in relation to the books, so he knew which ones to get.

English Superman: what could go wrong? (And why am I imagining a Kryptonian version of Rule Britannia?) And I actually read the... alternate P Unisher they talk about. And let me tell you it's still better than the one about Frank's kid with Elektra trying to get her own kid to follow in the family footsteps.

Well, should have seen that one coming.

I find that I haven't been thinking straight lately, thanks anyway.

Oh, wow. Stationwide distress call? Good thing it's a Solitaire, because he just loudly announced to every ork on board where he is.

Doesn't really matter, you can only fit so many orkz in one room, and you people will be dealing with the majority of them. (Hopefully, the orkz will start killing each other as they can't all get the eldar)

Unless of course Col pulls something I didn't expect, in which case Indis might have to fight 1000 orkz. Hoping to avoid that though. Do the orkz even know where the power plant is, or can the weirdboy guide them to it?

At 21 I should by rights already have been maybe in my second year of university. Now I can actually *begin.*

Is 3 a good grade at that stage? Cause I heard the curriculum really gets harder in high school.

So to compensate an extremely disappointing exam earlier, I went and saw Dude Of Fe0.98C0.02 (Haha! Chemistry joke. It's been a long week).

All in all, pretty good, though there were some minor troubles (how did the X Rays not manifest before 7, why does Superdude look like the Joker every time he flies, Phlegmings, the "science" (you can't increase the mass anymore than by just landing both ships on the planet! Stop saying stupid things!), the part consisting of Quick Time Events, and of course, who exactly does the boy think he's emulating in the penultimate scene). Also Pete looks like Gabe Newell.

How do you know they didn't manifest before seven? It's not like the movie went and showed every single moment of Clark's childhood. In fact, the way Ma Kent tells him to focus on her voice makes me feel like this sort of thing had happened to him before.

As for the terraforming issues, I has a simple answer (though admittedly it's a bit of a copout): Kryptonian science and technology. Shit is pretty damn advanced, after all, and it already breaks the laws of physics with the Phantom Zone and all that.

His behavior shows he's experiencing both for the first time, why else would he freak out like that? The other Kryptonians get hit with it as soon as they're in contact with the atmosphere, but he gets a seven-year break? His parents gave him advice for the more obvious problems A "my eyes are lasers and I CAN'T TURN THEM OFF" scenario comes to mind

And for that matter, why were all the kids still in the hall? What manner of elementary school kid doesn't react to a classmate's humiliation by jeering at him? Are they trying to breed serial killers?

Let's put it like this - I spent the better part of the two months before taking that exam practicing quite a few hours pretty much daily. A 3 is pretty good for R2 mathematics.

^^ That would be a D, or thereabouts. 1 is fail (F), 2 is lowest passing grade (E) and an A would be a 6.

actually, we don't have an E. We just skip it for some reason. F is failing, D is bellow average, C is average, then A and B are above average.
