Poll IV: Pole Position

With an overwhelming majority, The Flash has won this weeks poll with over 50% of the votes.  Right on ya, Internetz.

This weeks poll:  What would you rather spend money on:  Paper books, ebooks, computers, programing or a staff bar tab?

Also, check out our continuing poll that asks the hard question "Does your library use eBooks?"  Remember to answer honestly, because I have the technology to track you down and have you shot.

(My fellows are telling me that no, no I do not.  Next time, Gadget Interwebs.  Next time!)

DC Shuts Down Online Comments: I Love It when Nerds Get Too Serious

So who would win in a race, the Flash or Superman?  If you answered "Who gives a bright and shiny hotdog?" then this is not for you.  DC Comics had to shut down its online message boards last week because a bunch of nerds got into a huge flame war trying to answer this very question, Comics Alliance reports.

Hi.  I would like to talk to you a moment about an epidemic that does not get much attention:  Nerd Rage.  Nerd Rage is the primary reaction when something of no real significance becomes very important to an individual or group.  Nerd Rage can infect anyone at anytime, from the aforementioned "Superman Vs Flash" to your grandmother debating with her friends over hand or machine stitching for quilts.  Please be aware of this, as it can become quite contagious.  Thank you.

Also, the Flash would kick the crap out of Superman in a footrace.  Otherwise, why is he called "The Flash"?  He is supposed to be faster than anything else.  Otherwise he's be "The Shine" or "The Glow" or "The Quick Guy That Can Not Beat Superman".
