And by that, I mean I’m heading to the Secular Student Alliance‘s in-person board meeting. It’s kind of like the meeting of the Justice League. We both defend the world against evil-doers, right? Except that our strategizing involves poring over budgets and organizational goals, we require much more coffee, and our secret lair is in Columbus, Ohio.
Close enough.
I call Batman.

Have fun, Jen!
Who do you think would win a fight between The Justice League and the Secular Student Alliance? It’s a tough one to call.
I smell a photoshopping on the way.
a man dressed like a bat?
I love Alex Ross! He is my all-time favorite comic book illustrator. Have a great trip, Jen!
I get stuck playing Aquaman again, don’t I?
Never mind me, I’ll be off in the corner chatting up some fish.
Are octopuses technically fish? :D
PLEASE tell me that y’all will concoct a clever, even diabolical plan, to defeat this:

I will bake you (and your henchminions) cakes for the rest of y’alls lives!!! :-)
We aren’t shown the Justice League poring over budgets and organizational goals, because it’s just not exciting to watch. Little known fact, they require heroic amounts of coffee. And their secret lair is in Columbus, Ohio.
Where better to locate it?
Kinda a spiritual group to compare yourself to. Batman, if I remember right, is the only atheist in the bunch.

I like how the comic book character, The Atheist, is listed as an agnostic!
But do you all wear tights?
Aquaman’s powers include commanding all marine life, which at the very least include octopi, squid, and Cthulhu. It possibly also includes anything descended from marine life, depending on how you look at it.
Basically, Aquaman can sic a massive army of eldritch horrors on people more or less at will…exactly like Pharyngulation, actually.
I’m now afraid a tidal wave of Cthulu porn shall generate from Pharyngula. O.O
Huh? I thought he was Catholic.
In old sources, before more specific language was needed I assume, “fish” and “sea life” et.c. were interchangeable.
I for one grew up calling octopods inkfish.
Doesn’t Robin have to deal with most of that?
Lapsed episcopalian.
Also, J. Jonah Jameson Hates Spider-Man.

No, it’s Alfred‘s job.
I was having a hard time seeing a female Batman. Batwoman and Batgirl, sure, but Batman proper? I wasn’t sure until I found this:

Now? Oh yeah, totally rockin’ the female Batman. Of course that begs another question, can you do the *voice*? Batman’s only real super power is his crazy smart intellect, you’re a scientist so you got that part covered, and that *voice*.
So, do you got the voice? ;-)
Pete…
PS: Don’t care what the site says, I still get to be The Flash (running super fast is my “super power” wish [I’m afraid of heights])! :-D
I’m visiting read a small number of more of one’s posts.
