How Doth The Little Crocodile

How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!
How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in
With gently smiling jaws!

-Lewis Carroll

Mourning the Lost

Just don't suck up the carpet! That's been the death of many a valiant vacuum cleaner. :'(
They were my friends.

1888

Twas a dark, dark night;
Lament the double event!
Did none cry for them?


DISCLAIMER:
I hope that this doesn't offend anyone or sicken them. The article attatched is true, but dark and a bit vulgar. I found it interesting and was inspired to write this, but I would caution those who are faint of heart about violence mentioned in the article. It talkes about true murders that took place in 1888 and I wanted to give you warning before you read the article. It is a wikipedia article so it is purely facts and doesn't go into gruesome detail.

Batman

Batman is the Ultimate Hero

Batman is the best hero, clearly, because he does what's right all the time. He knows what is right and he fights for it, regardless of popular opinion or bias. He would rather be seen as the bad guy than not do what’s right. He doesn’t care about being liked or popular. He just knows what’s right and does it.

Another reason Batman is the ultimate hero is because he has the best villains. The bad guys he fights are queer, crazy, powerful, ingenious, inventive, diverse, and unexpected. Batman is only one man, but he outsmarts and outplays all of them. He proves time after time that he is the smartest, defeating enemies even when he is way outmatched. Where other heroes have villains that are unintelligent, unrealistic and just plain silly, Batman faces real people that are powerful, both politically and physically, villains that are incredibly smart, and villains that are extremely resourceful.

These villains push Bats to his limits every time. But The Dark Knight is extremely intelligent and resourceful himself. He is a detective, seeking out the truth systematically until he knows it.

Batman is also just. Again, whether something is popular or not, Batman will do what’s right no matter what. He knows that justice is blind and that their is one right thing. He fights for an objective truth and doesn’t ever give up until justice is served.

Knowing all this, I must ask one question. Why isn’t their anyone who fights as relentlessly for truth and justice in real life? Why isn’t anyone man enough to do what’s right in real life? (That’s two questions but they embody the same idea).

I guess Batman truly is a Superhero...and there aren’t any of those in real life.

As for me, I want to fight as hard as Batman does for truth and justice. And I will do it even more nobly than he, since I do it for a higher calling. The justice and truth that I fight for is Christ’s truth and justice! And I will fight for a third thing that Batman doesn’t necessarily know, and that’s love. I will love as unbiasedly and relentlessly as Batman fights for justice, regardless of popular opinion and appearances.
