    As always, there is an XKCD for this (#3123, Cannon)

    Title Text: Achilles was a mighty warrior, but his Achilles’ heel was his heel.

      The original original meaning of canon was “measuring rod” or “straight stick,” tho.

    I told a coworker once that m&ms were my kryptonite and she went and gave me a huge bag of them. I don’t think the average person understands what kryptonite is.

                Worst part is that he only wanted it to fake medical procedures as reinforcement for his Clark Kent persona. This was when he was in school (iirc, i read the comic from my fathers collection as a child) so couldnt possibly have gotten any qualifications for sedation yet

                Edit: I think it was golden age supes, iirc he also faked bad eyesight and a broken arm in the same comic. Anyone else knows which story Im recalling? Which one was it? He was planning to send a robot for any later dentistry appointments which lacked the tooth

      Not quite true. In an old Legion comic, Lobo grips a shard of Kryptonite he steals from Lex Luther and punches straight through Superman’s chest and heart, killing Supes. You don’t mess with the Main Man!

      Lois could never have Superman’s baby. Do you think her Fallopian tubes could handle his sperm? I guarantee he blows a load like a shotgun right through her back. What about her womb? Do you think it’s strong enough to carry his child?

      The second she gets a suntan the kid’ll kick right through her stomach. The only person with a uterus strong enough to carry his child is wonder woman. That or he wears a kryptonite condom, which could kill him…

        Because Reddit has no sense of humor, and should the case be this person actually doesn’t know reddit chooses to be dicks instead of helpful? Nah. I reported Reddit for the pedophilia pictures found on there daily and left anyway. The mods pretend to be gods, the site is run by a CEO who is a pedo, and it is just a trash site. Even honest questions get you banned. Asking why you got banned gets you site wide banned. I can keep going but the bottom line is this was not a valid ban reason.
