Fun Day Monday - If You Could Be A Super Hero, Which One Would You Be?

-
Growing up I always loved super hero shows and movies.  Back then there were the classics like Batman and Superman.  Well in recent years, the super hero movie train has been going full bore!  The rivalry between DC and Marvel is a battle of the super heroes in it's own right.  As much as I enjoy the Marvel movies more than DC, I have to say, they are all pretty fantastic.  They have taken super heroes to the next level with all the movies and TV Shows.

So which would I be?  Well, to me the best super hero of all time is Superman.  I have this debate with one of my sons quite often about who is better; Superman or Batman...?  He loves Batman and we have a good back and forth about it.  But I always win because Superman has powers and Batman doesn't... lol



So why would I choose Superman?  Well the better question is why wouldn't I?  Let's just summarize his powers...

1. He's bullet proof!  Even a bullet to the eye...

2. He can fly.  Need I say more?

3. He shoots freaking lasers from his eyes!  No need for Lasik, heck he could probably even perform lasik surgery!

4. He can freeze stuff with his breath.  Need a cold soda? Never fear, Superman is here!

5. He is super super strong!  Not only can he stop bullets, but he can pretty much pick anything up.  Even as a kid!

6. He has x-ray vision!  Can find a bad guy anywhere, no hiding from him!


7. He has super hearing.  Can hear a problem from very far away.

 8. Super human speed!  I mean he can keep up with the flash...

 9. Super vocal abilities including ventriloquism

 10. And finally, he just has good hair... Who can argue with that?




All in all, Superman is pretty bad A!  Those are his major powers, but he also has a bunch more minor things like super intelligence, absorbing the suns power, he can't get sick, super hypnosis, super memory, pretty much take any human trait and put the word super in front of it... Now he does have one main weakness which is kryponite. It pretty much makes him human and can kill him in large doses, but luckily it is in short supply.  So good luck to any bad guy without it!

Flashback Friday - 1869 Transcontinental Railroad Completed

-
Image
On May 10th, 1869, the race to complete the great transcontinental railroad came to an end with a golden spike.  In three long and difficult years, the two companies, Union Pacific and Central Pacific laid nearly 2000 miles of track ultimately meeting in Promontory, Utah. It was known there was a need for this railroad since 1832, but challenges arose in congressional funding and the civil war.  In 1853, congress finally approved funds to survey the land.  However, with the rising tensions from the North and South, progress was slow going.  It wasn't until 1862, one year into the civil war that a Republican-controlled Congress passed the Pacific Railroad Act, which guaranteed public land grants and loans to the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific railroad companies. In 1866, construction finally began, but was not without it challenges.  Terrible weather, long harsh work hours, Indian raids and getting over/through the Sierra Nevada mountains are just a few of the hardship

Flashback Friday - 1962: 1st US Spacecraft Fly-By Of Another Planet (Venus)

On this day December 14th 1962, a US made spacecraft called the Mariner 2 had finally arrived at it's long awaited destination Venus.  The Mariner 2 had launched on August 27th 1962, so it took just a little over 3 months to arrive. Before the Mariner 2 was successful, the Mariner 1 had to be self detonated only 5 mins after takeoff (July 22, 1962) due to it veering off course from a SW glitch.  They were able to correct that issue in the code and use other learnings to make Mariner 2 a success.  Although there were a few hiccups and course corrections through it's flight to Venus, it was able to recover from all of them and hit its mark. The Mariner 2 arrived at Venus on December 14th 1962 and began capturing data with its on-board instruments.  Weighing 40 lbs, here are the instruments it was equipped with: Microwave radiometer Infrared radiometer Three axis fluxgate magnetometer Cosmic ray detector Cosmic dust detector Solar plasma spectrometer Particle detect

Flashback Friday - 1838 First Public Demonstration Of The Telegraph

Today, is an endless vortex of communications.  We have land lines, fax machines, cell phones, texting, Skype, Facetime, satellites and streaming media to name a few.  But it all started with some wire and an idea.  Almost 200 years ago Samuel Morse gave his first public demonstration of the telegraph on January 11th 1838. Source: Wikipedia Samuel Morse invented and patented the Telegraph in 1837.  He came up with the concept and code known as Morse Code to be able to send messages over a wire with electricity.  He encoded the alphabet and numbers with dots and dashes that could then be sent with one telegraph key and received by another. Source: Wikipedia This was the first method of communication that was instantly received on the other side.  Before this invention all communications came by letter or messenger.  On this day in 1838, Morse demonstrated his invention at Speedwell Ironworks close to Morristown NJ.  He sent a message over 2 miles of wire to the amazeme
