Now this question has probably been asked plenty of times and judging by the answers of most people more than half of these people are basing their answers off of what they've seen from the movies and have never picked up a comic book in their life. Personally, I'm putting my money on Batman. Sure Spider-Man's a cool character, probably one of my favorites, but Batman is the only character in the DCU that could take down any member of the JLA (That's Justice League for you non-comic readers, just think of the cartoon!) if they ever got out of line. Including Superman! He would study Spider-Man as they fought and learn what he can about his powers and learn how to counter them. So if someone actually took the time to read this, I'd like to hear your answers. Who'd win a fight if Batman and Spider-Man ever fought?

Are there statistics for what % of time an elevator ever gets stuck? How is it that people who live or work in high rises are not afraid they wil get stuck and rely that the elevator will work?- I did get stuck for a few minutes so I am asking this question.

Ah, the tired cliche, but isn't it a bit insulting that you just want us guys to be walking punchlines so you can have a giggle? Or is it so that we can laugh off infedility?

I mean a guy could be the most attentive, caring affectionate, handsome guy out that, but does he still fall down if his only joke is one about a chicken crossing the road?

It's a bit of stupid question, but for me, it's the hardest thing in the world. I've just got into my first serious relationship and I'm a month through (I'm aged 18). The thought of telling my mom I have a girlfriend makes me "cringe". I'm pretty close to my mom, and she's quite young, but just actually telling her would be the height of embrassasment on my part. I don't know why. We can talk about anything, but I've never really had to talk about this stuff before. I'm not the shy kind, I'm quite outgoing and passionate, and that's why I don't know what is bugging me so much about revealing it. I'm pretty sure she knows anyway (and when's she's asked me "do you have a girlfriend?", I always say "no"). I really want to just get it out in the air but I actually just can't bring myself to do it.

I can talk to my girlfriend's parents fine, but I know I have to tell my mom because otherwise I won't invite my girlfriend over unless my mom's out.

It's so strange. Any suggestions?

in a town where their is a huge gap between rich and poor.
a town called Lake river uptown lives the rich class who live like royalty meanwhile downtown the poor class live like animals.
The mayor of the town Slyvian Garcia, the richest man in the town has everything from expensive cars to expensives clothing
he was a very powerful man and very evil as well one time news spreaded that an inspector was coming to visit the town, every year a inspector vists a city to see the conditions and later he and a group vote on the best place to live in, Gracia knows of course this will do good for the economy which is low and other economic deals such as exports and imports trading deals.
But for that to be able to happen garcia knows he can't let the inspector see the lower class of the town (downtown that is) so one day he decides that he will rebuild the lower part of River Lake
and that meant destroying homes for the people who already live their, but the poor class will not go down.

Happy the one who has become like us;
who has become all surrender and contenment;
Who has become the pledge of love and madness;
who has become a jewel in the sea of purity.


As salt resolved in the ocean
I was swallowed in God's sea,
Past faith, past unbelieving,
Past doubt, past certainty.
Suddenly in my bosom
A star shone clear and bright;
All the suns of heaven
Vanished in that star's light


Come, come, whoever you are.
Wonderer, worshipper, lover of leaving.
It doesn't matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow
a thousand times
Come, yet again, come, come.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that

you have built against it.”


Lord, said David, since you do not need us,
why did you create these two worlds?
Reality replied: O prisoner of time,
I was a secret treasure of kindness and generosity,
and I wished this treasure to be known,
so I created a mirror: its shining face, the heart;
its darkened back, the world;
The back would please you if you've never seen the face.
Has anyone ever produced a mirror out of mud and straw?
Yet clean away the mud and straw,
and a mirror might be revealed.
Until the juice ferments a while in the cask,
it isn't wine. If you wish your heart to be bright,
you must do a little work.
My King addressed the soul of my flesh:
You return just as you left.
Where are the traces of my gifts?
We know that alchemy transforms copper into gold.
This Sun doesn't want a crown or robe from God's grace.
He is a hat to a hundred bald men,
a covering for ten who were naked.
Jesus sat humbly on the back of a donkey, my child!
How could a zephyr ride an donkey?
Spirit, find your way, in seeking lowness like a stream.
Reason, tread the path of selflessness into eternity.
Remember God so much that you are forgotten.
Let the caller and the called disappear;
be lost in the Call.


We are as the flute, and the music in us is from thee;
we are as the mountain and the echo in us is from thee.
We are as pieces of chess engaged in victory and defeat:
our victory and defeat is from thee, O thou whose qualities are comely!
Who are we, O Thou soul of our souls,
that we should remain in being beside thee?
We and our existences are really non-existence;
thou art the absolute Being which manifests the perishable.
We all are lions, but lions on a banner:
because of the wind they are rushing onward from moment to moment.
Their onward rush is visible, and the wind is unseen:
may that which is unseen not fail from us!
Our wind whereby we are moved and our being are of thy gift;
our whole existence is from thy bringing into being.
