As much as you and I would love to mark our claim to our perfection, it is quite obvious, from the state of the world, we are on the farthest side away from perfection as you can get.

We drive along I-76 trying to get into the... More..
Entertainment > Movie Genres Evaluating comic book to film adaptions: 1 of 4
For every X-Men 2 that is released we are also subjected to two, not edited enough, hours of Ben Affleck acting blind in Daredevil.

I have an idea. I would like our public school system to begin a teaching curriculum on alchemy in Chemistry class. Could you imagine if we were able to transform our pencils into gold?
