However, the results should be taken with a grain of salt. The people making these don't put much effort into accuracy. I guess that's just one superhero's opinion. You might think that they would calibrate something like a superhero test against superheros. Maybe I'm just bitter. See for yourself. You scored as Batman, the Dark Knight.

I have sticky palms, probably from all the web work that I do.  It is a hassle and very annoying. When I go to a specialty coffee shop, I always try to order a normal drink in a weird way.  I do this solely to interrupt the flow of the cashier.  Also to remind people that it's just coffee.&nbspspidy_mnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00926114904562635383noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147822.post-1101163382721670062004-11-22T16:41:00.000-06:002004-11-22T19:30:10.286-06:00Keeping in Shape Old Super Heros Home Inverted Crunches One Arm Pushups Nobody likes to see a super hero get old and flabby, that's why even though I'm on sabbatical I do my inverted crunches and one arm pushups every morning. Plus gym four times a week, hour and a half plus stretchin'. Life Cycle, Life Step, Life Circuit. Bonus points if you figure out what movie that's from.

You can just barely see the beach house on the far side, and off in the distance is downtown Minneapolis. The park around the lake is in readiness for winter. The snow fencing is up, the trees have all lost their leaves, and they already have signs that say "Don't go out on the ice you idiot."

I had big plans for today, however we ran out of daylight (partly because of car trouble) so we couldn't get to them. Hopefully I'll be able to do those plans tomorrow. For now I'm just gonna be hangin' with my new pals Spoke and Zora in their huge hammock. This thing is great. Everyone should have a hammock this big. spidy_mnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00926114904562635383noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147822.post-1100499718128938892004-11-15T00:21:00.000-06:002004-11-15T00:21:58.126-06:00Fauna! spiderman_vs_spoke Originally uploaded by spidy_mn. I thought because I was inside I would be safe. How wrong can one spiderman be? Halfway between the coffee table and the bookcase I was surprised by a very large rat. I immediately sprang into a battle readiness pose as the beastly thing reared on its hind legs.

The trip was not what I would call pleasant. "Water bottles are excellent packing material" he said. "Third class postage won't get mishandled" he said. Well. Just so you know. Water bottles might seem like excellent packing material, but when you're riding third class postage being tossed, hammered, beaten, shaken and left out in the rain they spidy_mnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00926114904562635383noreply@blogger.com0
