Re: The Flash
If the comic book explanation was relevant the strip wouldn't have ignored it.
Don't drink and drive, take LSD and Teleport.
Re: The Flash
If the comicbook explanation wasn't relevant, the Flash wouldn't move that fast.

Also, what kind of grown-up talks about cartoon physics?

Aura is the derivative of the fugacity with respect to entropy at constant pressure.
Police said they spent some time working out if they could charge the man with being armed with a weapon, as technically he was armed with part of a fish.

People, people.. we've gone way off track with all this debate about magic and science. Hopefully we can all agree that today's six-panel comic was not funny at all.

Because you defend the comic book fictional physics, because without it the fictional character wouldn't be able to perform a fictional skill.
And no fictional character can possible move fast with out a physics explanation.
Except of course in my uber-short story I just wrote:
Jon ran from Duluth to Houston in under 3 seconds.

How dare you analyze my story. It is my story. You don't have the authorship, so you can't say what it means.Oldrac the Chitinous wrote:Oh! I know this one!

Damn post-structuralists...

While I appreciate the commentary on Feminism, I never did understand why the kid couldn't have two dads.DonRetrasado wrote:The doctor's a woman, and she can't operate on her son!

I dunno. Maybe you're allowed to operate on someone if they're not biologically related??smiley_cow wrote:While I appreciate the commentary on Feminism, I never did understand why the kid couldn't have two dads.DonRetrasado wrote:The doctor's a woman, and she can't operate on her son!

Re: [2012-Feb-21] Jay Garrick
Even assuming the science is decent with the speed force--wouldn't catching the woman who is at or near terminal velocity just serve to kill both flash, who doesn't have super strength, and the woman? The stop is still too sudden. Also, how does the guy in the first panel find out that boomerang man threw her off the building? Did he miraculously answer his phone and get the information to flash in less than a second? Is that his job? Or does he have ESP or some other link with someone in New York who happened to be watching the empire state building at just the right time while the guy happened to be chilling with flash? The accepted portions of this comic bug me more than the bits it pokes fun at.
