Super Science



Why does it seem that there are so few teachers with the energy and humor of Dr. Jim Kakalio who explains The Science Of Superman ? But there are some problems that even Superman can't solve. (VIA Boing Boing)

And while we're on the subject, a few Superman Comic Book Urban Legends:

  • DC had a Superman storyline set during the Holocaust that did not mention the word “Jew” or “Jewish”
  • Superman once got into trouble for spilling American nuclear secrets
  • Superman’s secret identity was made up by combining the first names of two popular pulp heroes
  • Orson Welles once teamed up with Superman
  • In the comic books, Superman was declared 4-F because he accidentally read the eye chart in another room with his X-Ray vision
  • Nazi Germany once took it upon itself to rebut a Superman comic story
  • Batman and Superman began to team-up because of inflation
