H2 is for Hero 2 Hero

Ioan Gruffudd, AKA Horatio Hornblower *sigh*, AKA latest Lancelot - is due to play Mr. Fantastic.

The Fantastic Four is another one of the many comics to life adaptations being done these days.

I'm too high on Ioan being all stretchy to have an opinion about the whole thing. When I'm capable of rational thought I'm sure I'll go on and on about the fact they are adapting every possible comic and that, hopefully, the backlash will be in a distant future after I get Death of the Endless, Alan Moore's Top Ten and Identity Crisis - not forgetting my Hellboy trilogy.

What can I say? I'm greedy that way.

Death by Crucifix

ROME (Reuters) - A 67-year-old woman was killed when a three-meter tall metal crucifix fell on her head in a small southern Italian town on Wednesday, police said.

The cross, which has been in the main square on Sant'Onofrio for decades, fell on Maddalena Camillo while workers were setting up lights for an annual religious festival.

Italy, home to the Vatican City, is a predominantly Roman Catholic country where crucifixes and religious icons and effigies are a common sight in most towns and villages.

The Catholic in me wonders if that entitles Signora Camillo immediate admittance to Heaven - like dying in prayer supposedly does.

The Italian in me is insulted Reuters felt the need to explain anything at all about Italy. Don't all roads lead to Rome?!

The humorist in me pictures Signora Camillo arriving at the Pearly Gates and what she answered St. Peter when asked for cause of death.

The lawyer in me? I'd sue, for sure. I mean, if He is responsible for this, think of the settlement?!

Though, how does one go about finding a lawyer there?
