Superman was at his strongest during the silver age 60's Pre-Crisis era. He got an "upgraded" so to speak. Then Post-Crisis his abilities were reduced.
(DH and I might need a tie braker question that needs a best answer and not necessarily a who answers first.)

We're gunna need a different type of question, that, or a much harder one.
Here's an idea:
Try E-mailing us a series of 5 or 10 superman related questions. Whoever answer the most correctly wins. make the entry date a certain time. That way it stays fair.

We'll come up with something. Maybe we can use that for a tie breaker. Still waiting on final word with like all the details from WB company. They usually tell me a date to start, and a date to end. I guess I'm jumping the gun a little bit, but this question thing is fun.
I didn't think you all would know the answers so easily.

One who knows how to weld the power of the net can do anything. It's like the force.

Then the real trick is to post questions that the answers can't be looked up. Good luck.

Well if you know the answer off the top of your head, then I wouldn't expect you to site a source. I think it's a good idea though just in case your source was in question.

The story has it that the name HAL was chosen because each letter is just one step ahead of IBM. However, this is pure coincidence, and in fact the first incarnations of the computer had a woman's voice and was called "Athena," goddess of wisdom. When someone pointed out the spurious association between HAL and IBM, Kubrick wanted to change the computer's name and refilm the scenes but was dissuaded because of production costs. For the record, HAL comes from "Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic" computer.

Try this Aero;
Name each of the three subjects by the important number associated with it.
A book with the number 42, a TV show with the number 108, and a movie with the number 37.
It's a strong possibility you'll get one, a definite maybe for two but no way all three.
Good Luck.

This one was tough.
Book with 42 is obviously Hitchhiker's Guide to the galaxy.
TV Show with the number 108 is Lost where the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42 all add up to 108, and they had to enter in the code ever 108 minutes or...(I haven't seen season 3 yet and I don't plan to till it comes out on DVD)
And the Movie assoiciated with the number 37 could be a few things, tell me if one of them is right.
- MIB where a galactic (or was it Centaurian?) standard week was 37 hours.
- That movie called Clerks, there was something 37 in it but forgot exactly what.
- Or Gravity 37 which was a Compilation Video

Hitch-hikers guide, correct. So long and thanks for the fish.
Lost, absolutely. I won't ruin it for you but Locke made sure nobody has to punch anything in that computer or Mikhail's computer anymore. Season 3 will be out in December.
Yes, one of those is right, but you don't know which or why. It refers to something quite perverse which I did on purpose to try and keep you from googling it(or whichever search you use). It was Clerks (there was also mention of it as a comic title in his later flick Chasing Amy) and it refers to the number of times Dante's girlfriend did something.
I will try again to find something that can't be searched(at least not so easily) but would qualify as trivia just the same. I hope other people are doing the same.
