This is freaky

THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.



Taken from here...plus go there for more information

For me she only moves clockwise. Advantage to being a Lefty I guess

Stephanie Brown

Ah Stephanie Brown, aka the Spoiler aka Robin IV.
I really liked her character (especially when she showed up in Batgirl) and was sad to see her killed (even though I had dropped the Bat-Books around the time she became Robin since I didn't like the new writers is the Post New-Gotham era.)

I do remember her getting savaged on the DC Message Boards back in the day (this is before I found the Comics Blogsphere) and I got the impression that she wasn't much liked.

So I have this question for everyone out there.



When did she become so popular?
I certainty don't remember her being this "big" back in the day.

The Marvel vs DC Websites

So I go to the DC website to see what comics are out this week and how much money I will be spending. I find the list instantly and thankfully discover that this should be a fairly small week.
I then go to the Marvel website to try and do the same.

It is hard to find the list. It is hidden in a page behind one of the buttons on the top banner called " Comics on Sale." Other than that nothing about the fact that they have any comics coming out at really any point. The website is taken up by the Iron Man movie and a small window about WWH. But that is it. Anything saying that they sell comics is nicely hidden away, while DC, while not putting the list front and center at least puts it front and to the right. You log onto their site and you can tell that they sell comics and which ones are coming out.

I just find that interesting

Doctor Who: The Man in the Brown Suit?

"Penniless recently-orphaned Anne Beddingfeld witnesses a man falling to his death in a crowded London tube station. A mysterious, brown-suited man claiming to be a doctor examines the body, but drops a piece of paper that Anne picks up, with a number and "Kilmorden Castle" written on it. A famous dancer is then reported murdered, with links to the tube station victim, and Anne begins to investigate. She discovers that Kilmorden Castle is the name of a cruise boat, and backed by a newspaper magnate, sails on it to South Africa to follow the trail."

This is the descrition for an Agatha Christie novel from 1924. The title of that novel:

The Man in the Brown Suit.

Now who else do we know who wears a brown suit and claims to be a doctor...hmm..
We know that Agatha Christie is appearing in season 4 of Doctor Who. Are they doing a quasi adaptation?
Hattip to Millarworld for more info look to Wikipedia

What the hell?

So I was looking through the recent keword searches that have lead people to my blog.
A couple of interesting things.
Firstly my blog is now on the first page when you google Feveral Seizures.
I hope the people who have found my blog that way have found useful what you found here. Plus if anyone has any questions about it, feel free to contact me.
Second who in G_d's name does a google search for: "july 22, 2007 my birthday my sister was murdered"...and did they find what they were looking for on my blog?

Hmm...New Earth and Earth 1-51

Scipio...Devon...it looks like you were right...

I was reading 52 #52 yesterday and I noticed this from Rip Hunter:

New Earth, while it is one of the 52 is not one of the numbered earths...
There is a separate and distinct Earth 1 out there.
This does make things interesting

Crisis of Infinite Jay Garricks

Something interesting that I noticed when 52 #52 was released. We are either suffering from a Crises of Infinite Jay Garrick's, or we know where all of the Flash's went to.
I have mentioned this from time to time, but, like the awesome Phantom Stranger appearance in Hellblazer that no-one believed, I though it would be best to show this so that I can at least tell people to go to my log and check it out there.
In Infinite Crisis 4, all of the Speedsters graped Super-emo Prime and pulled him into an alternate dimension. This scene from The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive #6, shows all of them together right after Super-emo Prime had escaped. As you can see there is a younger Jay Garrick there wearing a black tunic.

This is the Jay Garrick of New Earth, as seen in this weeks JSA #8 in his bright red tunic.
But in 52 #52 we see a shot of a new Earth 2 And who is there in the corner?
Another version of Jay, wearing a similar black tunic that we see some 6 months earlier in The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive #6. Admittedly the Tunic is of a different design, with the lightning bold beginning over his shoulder as opposed to at his waist. But artists have been known to mix up stuff in the past.

So the question remains.
Are these two the same guy?

If they are then Max and Barry are sitting on Earth 2. If not, where did the Flash family end up, since there would be no reason for Jay to be there, unless he was native to what ever world/dimension Super-emo Prime was pushed into. Plus, if they are not from the same earth, does that mean that we have at least three good Jay Garrick's out there?



For more analysis, look here.

Nathan Stark and Tony Stark

With a nod towards the people at Big Monkey Comics who first brought this up

Long Lost Brothers?
One is a brilliant industrialist/ jackass from the TV show Eureka
The other is a brilliant industrialist/ jackass from the Marvel Universe

Think about it
