Rome has some major issues trying to expand their subway system.  They keep accidentally running into major archeological finds. 

One particular expansion has been in the works for forty years.  It's uncovered Hadrian's Athenaeum, a military complex, and an amphitheater.

And piranhas. At least in California, though that was years ago, when my late father got interested in owning tropical fish. Whether they are still illegal or now legal, I have no idea.

Continuing favorites from the graphic novel.

Favorite Moment
a boy and a girl are standing on the roof of their high school, watching what they think is death approaching, but knowing that they will never be more than friends, as their differences--religion, race, class--are to great to overcome, but, sometimes ere you die, you have to express your true feelings, so they turn to each other and express their love for each other. (Bruno and Kamala or Ms. Marvel)

Favorite heterosexual couple
Bruno and Kamala (Ms. Marvel)

Favorite hero as a child
Loki
who I think was more interesting when he was a child, then when he was an adult. And that applie to Thor and the Frost Giants as well. Plus Star Wars, where I think Kanan Janus (Caleb Dume) in the graphic novels was more interesting as a teen, then when he becae an adult.

Favorite Group
The Young Avengers

Favorite gay couple
Hulking and Wiccan

Before the movie It Follows (2014) was released to theaters, the German motion picture rating system organization FSK rated the film "12" which is equal to a PG rating, even lower than a PG-13 rating (The film is rated R in the US). The movie's German distributer wasn't happy about the low rating thinking it will lose impact as a horror film in misguiding audience in thinking it was a "children's movie". They re-submitted the film to the FSK requesting a "16" rating which is equal to a PG-13 or R rating. In a rare occasion the FSK granted the wish of the distributor and re-rated It Follows with the requested "16" rating.

The Supreme Court building in Washington DC has a basketball court on the 5th floor, above the actual courtoom. 

It is officially labeled "The Highest Court in the Land."

This is one I found out when I was reading up on stuff for the 100 most evil people topics. 

in 2009, a 300,000 Euro reward was offered for the capture of "The Phantom Of Heilbronn" (also referred to as "The Woman without a face"). 

DNA evidence linked her to murders and crimes all across Europe including the murder of a police officer.  In one case in particular, two bodies were dragged out of a river and evidence was found to convict two different men.  However the Phantom's DNA was also found in the culprits car and whoever she was, the murderers weren't admitting to. 

At the end of 2009, after a MASSIVE manhunt, the Phantom of Heilbronn was finally tracked down. 

She was an innocent woman that worked in the factory that produced the polices DNA kits.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
