They do a little of this in the Magicians. Some groups of magicians form clubs to guard the Earth from asteroids and the like. I think the limitations of having to use one's own personal power made doing anything more than a trip to the moon difficult.

Play hockey.

Please tell me you drank some coffee before that happened. Otherwise, I have just acquired the lamest superpower ever.

Have you noticed, they've never been seen in the same room together? Now, I'm not saying they're the same person, but that's mighty suspicious to me...

"My god, it's full of stares!"

"But even if it had succeeded, what the hell was a mayor going to do for Cobra anyways?"

If the list were 'science fiction authors who continue writing a series of books 10+ books after the fun is gone, then Piers would be at the top of the list. His later stuff that I am aware of (not counting the punawful Xanth series, which I had to stop reading after the first few lest they destroy my love of puns)…

I absolutely LOVED my minidisc player.

Hey! Shut your filthy mouth! My minidisc recorder came in super handy and got a shitload of use! Much better than what one had to go through to burn a CD back in those days, and it was still portable!

I want to read more about your daughters' adventures rescuing cats.

in much the same way an Audi R8 is just a toboggan with wheels attached.

This map should be normalized by sq mile. It makes the rural red counties seem completely dominant.

The biggest problem with the map is that there is a lot of red areas with very few people. The blue areas have a lot more people and tend to be more urban. Go state by state and one of the best red states is Utah, which is heavily Mormon and fairly homogeneous, most of the other deeply red states are embarrassingly…

lots of empty land votes (R)!

Peter Parker AND James Gordon. It seems that the war of 1812 was a crossover event.

1812 WAS AN INSIDE JOB

Being in the Scottish Highlands made me feel like tiny dot in the universe, in a good way. The landscape is so dramatic and unyielding in its beauty. I just kept thinking, "I can't be on the same planet as my native New Jersey."

Their next polls will be "When will you be taking your next vacation?", and "Where do you hide emergency keys to your house?"
