[Junkenstein]

Or to show how much of a comic book geek i am.

Well i hate star wars, star trek and anything fantasy related (including all rpg's). There should a balance in that... i hope...

There is no logical reason that his abilities would stunt his growth as a youth, as it would actually have to be killing his cells to do that. If anything, he should have grown at an increased speed until adulthood, and should maybe even still be growing.

slurp.

The main conceit of his character is that his aging is retarded, or greatly slowed, because of the healing ability. So it still doesn't make sense that he would manage to age at a normal rate from childhood but then all of a sudden stop aging when he reaches thirty.

I never read it but i know Mark Millar (the idiot who wrote wanted and loves to write stories that fuck-up superhero myths) wrote a novel where Wolverine becomes old. Again, i never read that, so i dont reaqlly know how that works...

Ya, Wolverine doesn't stop aging, he just does so at an incredibly slow rate. He'd only be about 124 now.

Regarding Ant:

I was listening to love line one night in the car and Ant was the special guest. He told Dr. Drew and Striker that he and his boyfriend had seen a bum on the street, that one had bet the other that the bum was actually quite attractive under all the rags and dirt. They took the guy home and cleaned him up. It turned out that he was attractive, so they had sex with him. I had to sit in the parking lot for probably 20 minutes listening to Dr. Drew try to figure out whether or not it was a joke, and Striker totally gross out in the extreme. The worst part was that after they had fucked him, the bum asked Ant for some food and a ride back to where they picked him up, and Ant just kicked him out of his house. When Dr. Drew questioned him about this he said "What? He's homeless, everywhere outside is his home!" And then added something about how he didn't feed the guy because he could eat out of the trash.

Sorry for tardiness, I only got to the episode today. In case no-one posted it yet:

It's funny hearing Keith say his boss's would assume it was okay to tell him racist jokes. When I was a courier driver and would run into other random couriers on the street, half of them would launch straight into racist and sexist talk like it was nothing. I'm left standing there, grinning awkwardly, thinking, is this worth getting into a fight over?
