which reminds me of my dad's favorite college story:
the professor asks the class, what does this word mean? no one knows except 
dad.
prof:  what erudition!  and where did you learn the word?
dad: um, batman comic books.

:) some action comic books use amazing vocabulary

ziviya, who only reads comics for the superlatives :)
