I got sharpshot (sharpshooted?) on my presentation today. Although kryptonite wasn't in the lesson plan, I fielded a question from an overzealous classmate asking about Superman's weaknesses. This was followed up by a question from the class smart-ass of "What does Blue Kryptonite do?"

Upon reflection, I hazarded the guess that it kills vegetation. His retort was that it provided a benefit.

Some fact-checking shows that we were both wrong. Blue Kryptonite is the result of using the imperfect duplicator ray on Green Kryptonite. It is only harmful to Bizzaro and other Bizzaro Supermen, in the same ways that Green K is harmful to normal Kryptonians.


I'm not even going to get into, "Would you consider compassion to be one of Superman's weaknesses?"

"Would you consider compassion to be one of Superman's weaknesses?"


No, but I'd definitely consider sexiness to be one of his weaknesses!

Which Superman? The biggest reaction from the two female NCOs in the class were on Dean Cain, Tom Welling, and the new guy (in that order).

I actually think I agree with that assessment.

Of course, as a little girl I had the biggest crush on Christopher Reeve.

Wow, that is super unprofessional. I can't believe that person didn't get called to the carpet by SSG Pseudo...

It wasn't really bad. He waited until after the presentation to try to get me. See, the instructor handed out these cards for how certain students should be annoying. One of the students got "Know more than the instructor", but he didn't. He couldn't. The other SSG thought he could and tried to prove it with the Blue Kryptonite thing.

But he's fast becoming a good friend. He just likes picking.

BTW, I adored the new Superman film. Saw it over the weekend in IMAX 3D.
