It was indeed a fun read. And I compliment the author on his expertise.

To be precise... It isn't Scientific American doing the analysis. This is an interview of neuroscientist, kinesiologist, and martial artist E. Paul Zehr. He is the author of the following book from Johns Hopkins University Press.

Becoming Batman
The Possibility of a Superhero

That book is definitely going on my reading list. What great fun! These are the kinds of science geeks I love to work with.

Hmmm, 2 to 3 years, that's not a SUPER long career.

Reality-blah: give me fantasy anyday!

Thanks for the article!
