In the Winning Science post this week, I was wondering what awesome things the Japanese knew that the rest of us hadn’t quite figured out yet.  This is NOT what I had in mind.  Even for the Japanese, this one is pretty weird.

I didn’t realize that the Japanese even had emo bands.  Now I feel guilty, they send us nice cars, tvs and video games and in return we send them emo bands.  I think they’re getting the short end of the stick.

I want this yacht that turns into a submarine.  If I saved all my money, I figure I could probably afford this in a couple millennia.

And now, in honor of the release of Man of Steel, here is Superman! (from around of the web, of course)

I understand that everyone gets lucky some at some point, and that some people are more lucky than others, but this is ridiculous.

Last time I put a hole in my wall, all I found was that super itchy pink insulation. Not fair.

While Superman is an important character in the DCU, his other important contribution is as a brand.  I’m sure you’ve seen the sheer volume of Superstuff that has been available lately.

Also, if you’re a Superman fan, you absolutely must listen to Paul Montgomery and Glen Weldon talk about Weldon’s new book Superman: The Unauthorized Biography, its pretty amazing.
