Oh Superman. Arrgh ... Just imagine the MAN OF STEEL coming to Earth as a Baby TODAY ... and growing up in the World of TOMORROW! Here's the complete comic. I actually never liked Superman. Batman was always much better and darker. But that particular book is drawn by Curt Swan, and Curt is one of my heroes. 7:04:31 PM     |

German Slang. I'm still getting back to that website: Seit ich an den vermatschten Abend in die Hohensieberg den ganzen Schotter verplästert haben tu, muss ich widder Asche machen. 'Verplästern'! What a wonderful word. 6:16:41 PM     |

One Chord Wonder. Another Wire link: the video In the Art of Stopping. Thanks to Paul for the link. Really: Only one chord! April 26, Barbican ... 1:18:32 PM     |

Semi-Old London. For some weird reason I don't seem to have blogged this before, but at least The Aardvark speaks has done so: London's Abandoned Tube Stations. Great anorak stuff, I love it. And if you're about to visit London, have a look at Aardvark's shortcuts, they're brilliant. Last time I saw them mentioned was in a Bill Bryson novel. 1:33:00 AM     |
