[OT] Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex

[kizor0]

I came upon Larry Niven's essay "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex", 
detailing Superman's reproduction problems, again. I had forgotten 
why I shouldn't. At the moment I'm still giggling and sniggering, and 
I have to tell /some/one of this or my head will explode.

Please note that while this link is very matter-of-fact in tone 
(despite being insane) it does contain discussion about sex.

"Metropolis is shaken by tiny sonic booms. Wormholes, charred by 
meteoric heat, sprout magically in all kinds of things: plate glass, 
masonry, antique ceramics, electric mixers, wood, household pets, and 
citizens. Some of the sperm will crack lightspeed. The Metropolis 
night comes alive with a network of narrow, eerie blue lines of 
Cherenkov radiation."

Sorry. Sorry.
