Its only been 45 years since I've read a superman comic book. Usually at summer camp. They were not allowed in the house. Nor Mad Magazine. But they had all different colors and they did all different things. Which were so extreme as to be pretty comical. Like one color made you go back in time. Another into the future. Another into the Bizarro dimension, where all bets were off. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner > From: Bob Adler <rgacpa at yahoo.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2011 23:11:19 -0700 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] OT: Speaking of Hasselblad... > > There was yellow Kryptonite?
