THE WORKS OF GENERAL ZOD?
(From MSNBC) An Austrian man who claimed he was Superman and could fly was hospitalized early Tuesday after leaping from a fourth-floor window, authorities said. Paramedics rushed the 23-year-old man to a hospital in the city of Graz, about 120 miles south of Vienna, after he jumped from a window and suffered head and back injuries, police said. They said the man - who apparently had drunk several bottles of red wine before attempting the jump - appeared at the window ledge at around 4 a.m. and shouted: "I am Superman! Nothing can happen to me!"

(But hang on a minute. If General Zod is out of the dread Phantom Zone and running for POTUS, (see yesterday) what about Ursa and her fabulous boots?

The secret word is Prostrate

ME! ME! ME! ME! ME! ME!
And while I was waiting for the Grand Jury to hand down indictments (oh please, please) I found this fabulous review on the web...
Jim Morrison’s Adventures in the Afterlife: A Novel by Mick Farren. Really more a collection of character sketches and subplots all held together by their connection to the Lizard King’s adventures in the hereafter. Aside from Morrison, Doc Holiday features in the story a variety of other characters from Egyptian gods to voodoo loas to the founder of the Foursquare Church. The book is filled with humor that requires a breadth of knowledge from pop trivia to historical minutiae - in other words, it’s a lot of fun. The overall story is good and the subplots are interesting, but this book is about the characters and the characters are compelling.

You know, you really ought to read this book if you haven’t, and buy it, if you haven’t, or republish it as a handsome paperback if you’re in that line of work.
