    Christopher Reeves dead

    Just heard the news.

    I often wondered if he was trying to emulate the legendary Stephen Hawking, but at least now we will never know.

    What is with that new fangled contraption called the tele-phone? I wonder if it will be successful.

    Re: Christopher Reeves dead

    In his native language: German, Arnold Schwarzenegger has a really weird last name.

    Even worse though, German television dubs his English speaking voice back to German with some unfamiliar voice.

    At least we still have Batman and Robin to save us from implausible villains threatening the world.

    Batman and Robin are no longer partners. Robin left because he didn't want to be Batman's sidekick so he left and is now known as NightWing.
