I normally trip over uneven pavement, occasionally fall of my skateboard and once as a kid was dreamed that I'd tweaked out a mad pancake off a jump on my BMX and didnt pull it back in time. Now I know it's just a hypnic jerk. Way to go Science for taking the joy out of dream stacks. [markup=plain]Tripping over the curb is good.

I can't say that I was a big fan of Spiderman (although it has always been rewarding to adopt that stance in your company) but you need to MOVE ON! Peter Parker got his superpowers after being bit by a radioactive spider! Stop worrying about his "volume" - his story of origin is enough to confirm that there's no point quibbling over 2.7% or more. Sure, Sam Raimi got it wrong by insisting on the organic web, as opposed to the (I'm guessing) environmentally unfriendly strands that Parker produced in the comic. But I want to believe in a world in which The Hulk (gamma rays or no) can bench press 100 tonnes and no-one recognises that (spoiler) Clark Kent is Superman! What I do object to is insultingly stupid movie physics in woeful films... Or just woeful films full stop... like Black Hawk Down. [markup=plain]Rob,

It's that same sort of progression as the Honda ad, where you're not really sure what's going on to begin with. And anything which references Tron gets the robotperson thumbs-up.
