The Super Dictionary

Anonymous Asks:

That's impossible. Clark Kent wears glasses. Why would Superman need glasses? He's got like at least three kinds of vision powers.

this is a valid point, i will take it under consideration

Did you ever figure out why Superman was going to Kent, Ohio? They make it seem like it's obvious, but all I can think of is depressing answers related to Kent State University. (The shooting happened 7 years before the book was published)

andthatsterrible Said:

uhhh, i’m gonna go out on a limb and guess it’s because his name is Clark Kent

corey-45 Asks:

On a more serious note, what if Ra's al Ghul had been put in the Super Dictionary? What kind of situations might he have been put in?

andthatsterrible Said:

Well as I’ve complained about before, the Super Dictionary doesn’t include a pronunciation guide so including Ra’s would probably just lead to kids being forced to find a real dictionary to try and figure his name out.

About the one with Lex Luthor stealing the pyramids: post-Crisis Lex could probably just buy the pyramids and put them on his private estate. I mean, it worked for David Xanatos, right?

andthatsterrible Said:

Realistically, I don’t think Egypt would agree to sell them for any price, nor could they be moved as they extend deep underground. Even more realistically, there’s no reason Lex couldn’t make his own damn pyramids if he wants them that badly.

It’s a comic book though, so whatever floats Lex’s boat.

I’ve seen this before, but perhaps my followers haven’t. Thanks Exoergic!

Are you going to queue and reblog the posts here? Your newer followers like me would probably like to see them on our dash if you feel like it. :)

Not planning on it, no. Sorry guys, but for the past couple of weeks, this blog has been mostly just adding to my ambient stress levels and I’ll be glad to be done with it. I’ve largely enjoyed running the blog but it’s sort of gotten to the point where it feels like a chore I have to do rather than something fun to share.

I will certainly not be deleting anything and if you stumble upon this page some months from now and the .pdf file (or anything else) has broken, by all means shoot me an ask and I will rehost it.

I will also remain perpetually available at Arkhamarchitecture, my personal blog where I post about things nobody cares about.

So I promised I’d have a present for you, and I do. It’s a PDF of my book, minus the first few pages because I’m fucking stupid and forgot to scan them. There’s probably other places you could get this book but if you don’t want to use torrent sites and money is hard (it certainly is for me), then here ya go.

What are you going to do with your Super Dictionary? You can read through it for all the ones you think are funny and I skipped! You can read through it for all the ones that aren’t funny at all! You can make your own Super Dictionary blog that’s twice as funny.

It’s a birthday present, from me to you! On my birthday. Don’t think about it too hard. Enjoy!

Everybody knows about the “Forty” entry. Nobody seems to have considered that the other numbers would be just as ridiculous.

The most popular most on the blog by a HUGE margin, it’s Atom vs the Bee Army.

There’s nothing about this picture that I don’t love.

I just… Hal. Hal.

andthatsterrible:

Oh well that’s just fine then, no further questions, everything checks out here.

This is probably one of my favorite entries because it’s just so fucking nonsensical.
