Phil, Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locamotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a Plane! No, it's Superman. Yes, it's Superman, who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steal in his bare hands, and who, disguised as clark Kent, a mild-mannered reporter for a daily metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for truth, Justice, and the American way. It's pretty close to that. I remember it so well because i wrote a parody on this about one of my ninth-grade teachers.
