A) that Allah thing? Mind-blowingly ridiculous and hilarious.

B) if possible, please elucidate the references you and your colleague made, perhaps using pseudonyms or something to skate past the Attorney-client privilege. For the lulz.

I do sometimes try to be funny in my legal briefs, actually. I have quoted "The Princess Bride," "Tombstone," and "Star Wars" in appellate filings.

I love doing shit like this in academic papers. Love it so much.

My favorite is just straight-up trolling. When arguing that my opponent's version of the facts was physically impossible, I wanted to quote Newton's second law of motion from the Principia Mathematica.

My boss's boss got involved. We agreed to compromise: I could quote Newton, but I couldn't just quote it in the original Latin without translating.

Ox, I feel like you could run the most interesting Q&A thread on this site with very little effort.

And gets Tazed.

I fucking lost it. So bad.

Is this the same dude?

God, that court room video was great. He was just about to go into another rant and BAM tazered. Awesome.

Joshkdmw · 09-20-2012, 03:16 AM

How the fuck does he get away when they already have him on the ground? That's just sloppy shit right there.

Obviously he has been tazered so much he has become immune to it.

Heh, burn.

Admittedly it'd be a better burn if Samsung phones weren't garbage too.

Yeah. Plenty of double-takes. "Was that Simon Pegg wearing a horrible fake beard?"

Vandabo · 09-20-2012, 10:24 AM

Yeah, I didn't know what to expect with that Superman vid, but it was surprisingly entertaining and had a lot of cameos. I love how cameos like that happen so much nowadays.

It's great when actors just do something for the fun of it. Like that recent Beastie Boys video with all the comedic actors.

One thing I'm curious about is the implication that it was the Death/Rebirth of Superman that ruined superhero death in comics. How accurate is that?

Superman's Dead · 09-20-2012, 10:34 AM

Before Superman came back a lot of people who died stayed dead. Barry Allen, Jason Kidd, on and on. They're all alive now...

So that really was the turning point? It's been a joke about superheroes for so long I had never thought that Supes was the cause of it. Makes sense, though. I remember how big a deal it was at the time, and if Superheroes coming back to life was already a common occurrence people would've seen it coming.

Uncle Ben still dead.
