And the silver lining is that it's good hammer selling business for DIY and Hardware stores in a competitive market. We're more a pitchfork and flaming torches sort of mob here. smile

When you have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

That's why the Philppines banned the sale of hammers in malls...

Austria is known as the hammer of the Alps. At least, according to this horrible trivia game I’m playing

One of my old neighbours used to have an anvil in their yard. They had also been neighbours elsewhere, when I was a kid and the anvil was there too. It came from an old town blacksmith and was of a considerable age.

When I visited Budapest last winter, there was a blacksmith with an anvil at the Christmas market.

I remember visiting a working blacksmith's when I was a kid. Lots of farmland and horses meant that it was still a going concern. The nearest Blacksmith's to where I am now was converted to a car sales/ garage place.

One of the things I was looking forward to most when I started to drive, was going up the twisting ramps of a multi level parking garage.

I once was going up a parking garage, and the car that was two vehicles in front of me had trouble. It started to slide backwards. Thankfully, the driver of the car in front of me stepped out and was able to talk the driver two cars ahead into braking.

As I was walking in to work last year, the brakes had trouble on a flatbed truck on one of the hills I was passing. It started to slide back as they moved it off to the side. Just as well there hadn't been anyone behind it or any pedestrians crossing.

We sure are unlucky. Or lucky, when you think about it.

It can be tough luck when you're on a board where Calamity King's nelly cap hangs out. smile

I imagine that the Comics Code prevents Calamity King being responsible for killing off numerous unsuspecting passers by every time he goes out for coffee. He'd never have got on the team otherwise.

It's my theory intelligent power design. Every time a powered heroic character is created, they are given the right combination of powers to ensure they can function perfectly well as a hero without harming themselves or others. Unless there is a need to up the drama quotient, in which case there will be critical flaws to the functioning of said power.

But what is ensuring the intelligent power design?! Are all DC characters the mere play things of … The Editor?!

This summer, find out more in a 12 issue mini series, condensed to a reader baffling 5 and a half!

I hope the Editor isn't just a palette-swapped version of the Anti-Monitor.

Gosh no! That would indicate that DC is only fit for mining ideas created by others decades and decades ago....um....

It's amazing what detractors read into novel new titles like "Secret Infinity Crisis" or "Civil Flashpoint Zero"

It's also weird, how people criticize the fact that 75% of current DC heroes are Bat-something, Super-something, Wonder-something, a Flash or a Green Lantern.

I'm more of a Flashing Lantern and Superbat fan myself.
