Maybe he really is Superman. Christopher Reeve "has regained the ability to move parts of his body and is able to feel previously imperceptible physical sensations," according to the front page of today's Washington Post.

Remember how at the end of Superman, he made the world spend backwards and reversed time? This is similar.

Not to be an ass but I believe this is being discussed here. Still, a very inspiring story regardless.

Ha! I call Jinx! (According to my 9-year-old this mean that you two can't speak until I say your name.)

Yeah, what was that shit? Time is caused by Earth spinning, therefore, reverse Earth's rotation, reverse time? That's gotta be the worst movie physics ever!

Eat backwards too (although, technically, I guess that's what Bulimics do.)

mikrophon: Yeah, at first you don't think that's what's going on -- you think that he's just flying at speeds approaching the speed of light and that, relativistically, the earth is slowing down until it stops and starts to spin backwards -- again, relativistically, time is moving backwards compared to Supes, who's now exceeding the speed of light.

But then he reverses directions as if he needs to start the earth spinning in the right direction again. Sigh.
