Here are 25 Craziest Reactions Of Convicts After Given A Life Sentence Brooks responded by making a long-winded and ridiculous statement that lasted hours, insulting the District Attorney and spending more time apologizing that people couldn’t see how remorseful he was rather than apologizing for what he did. His sentence was nearly 800 years. Hearing the bad news prompted McCarty to, unsurprisingly, lose his cool again. He cursed out the court, called the judge a liar, tossed out racial slurs, and had to be dragged out of the room....

For example, how on Earth does Superman convince anybody with his “costume”? It’s basically just Clark Kent taking off his glasses and putting on a cape. Would anybody actually fall for that? It seems like a long shot. But then there is another type of thing on our list. These are the things that you just don’t understand about society and people. For example, why won’t people use their blinkers?...

According to Paddy O’Donnell, professor of psychology at the University of Glasgow, the reason science fiction in general works is that it explores psychological and societal themes but in a fantasy world where you can explore them in ways that are more difficult to do in real life.

The trailers so far have been mind blowing to say the least. What may have some fans a little worried though, is that the trailers indicate a departure from the original story that the movie is based on. This could be a good thing or a bad thing (though is hard to imagine how anyone can improve the story line for The Dark Knight Returns).

Riddles are slightly different from jokes. Riddles ask a question that may or may not be a mind-bender, and then gives an answer that’s usually easier than imagined!
