From http://nuklearpower.com/:

"In most of the presentations and re-imaginations of Superman's origin, it is made clear that the Kryptonians are well aware of what effects Earth's yellow sun will have on baby Kal-El. Indeed, that's usually the excuse for why he goes there. They know he'll be "safe" because nothing can hurt him there.

And that's all well and good, but there's a problem. Kryptonians are the assholes of space. Here's some proof...

A list of Kryptonians who are assholes:

Brainiacs 1 - 13, Doomsday, Cyborg, The Eradicator, General Zod, Quex-ul, Zaora, and Preus.

A list of Kryptonians who are nice:

Sometimes Jor-El, Superman.

And Superman's only a decent guy 'cause he was raised on Earth and knew nothing of Krypton or its people for almost half his life. When Jor-El's shown to be a nice guy, then he's acting as the exception that proves the rule.

Knowing, as we do, that Kryptonians are assholes, and highly advanced in the technologies of science, and capable of making FTL spacecraft, and live in a universe with varied and diverse intelligent life in the cosmos, we have to assume they ran into other space faring beings. Doomsday's origin tends to back this up.

If anyone on Krypton had the slightest idea that the electromagnetic radiation from an M-class star would react with their physiologies to make them effectively immortal and god-like, there wouldn't be a non-yellow star in the sky. They'd have obliterated all life from the cosmos and in the process of altering every star to fuel their unholy powers, they'd probably bring about the premature heat-death of the universe.

Seems awfully convienent that one of their scientists just happened to have an interstellar craft at the ready.

A prototype for intergalactic seeding, perhaps?

If Kryptonians were smart enough to figure out this yellow sun business, then it's safe to assume their neighbors were too. And I wonder what they'd have done with this information.

Seems awfully convienent that the symptoms of Krypton's destruction came about so suddenly. Almost like it'd been triggered artificially by outside agents?

Think about it. You're an advanced civilization. You meet these xenophobic guys in goofy robes who treat you like dirt because their stardrive goes 1% faster than light than your best stuff. During some research or information exchange, you come across an odd anomaly in their DNA that has the potential to turn each of them into incarnate gods under certain, fairly common, conditions. You know that yellow stars aren't that far from their world and it's only a matter of time before they figure this out assuming they haven't already.

The sabotage of one planet for the sake of the whole universe ain't a tough decision to make."

Give me a capon and some roguish companions
a wench and a bottle of sack.
Take me to the alehouse
Take me to the whorehouse
If I vomit, keep me off of my back.

My father he thinks I am a good-for-nothing,
And that I won't amount to much.
But he is not aware of my secret weapon,
I can count on myself in the clutch.

Show me a breach, I'll once more unto it,
I'll be ready for action any day.
I'll straighten up and I'll fly most righteous,
In a fracas I'll be right in the fray.

I can drink you under twenty-five tables,
Fight and be a ladies man.
But all this will change when I'm good and ready
To become the King of this land.

Give me a capon and some roguish companions,
a wench and a bottle of sack.
Take me to the alehouse
Take me to the whorehouse
If I vomit, keep me off of my back.

Okay, Here's the instructions: Post your response to these questions here, then copy this to your journal, and add a new and even more pointless question to this list of madness and see what your friends have to say. Humor me on this people.

1. If you could fight any president (excluding the current and last one because that's boring) which president would it be and why?

2. If you could have sex with any cartoon character, male, or female, who would it be?

3. If you could go out drinking with any biblical character, who would it be?

4. If you were given free reign to do so, which bothersome celebrity would you punch in the teeth and tell to shut the fuck up?

5. If you could have sex with anyone in the history of the world, who would it be?

Okay, remember in Lord of the Rings, Return of the King, when they lit the fire at the signal tower in Minas Tirith, which sent the singal to light the fire at another tower, and so on and so forth until the signal reached its way to Rohan? Okay, what was it called exactly? How did it work? What was being set on fire how would it keep the whole tower from burning down? Was this technique applied to any real civilizations in history, and if so, who were they and how did it work?

Like I said, odd question. And it's too vague to simply google. I'm kinda embarrassed to even ask, but I need to know and I have no idea where else to turn. Any help would be much appreciated.
