        Maybe, but I’d say that If he was in fact joking, then the news reporter erred, as he should have concluded that sentence with something along the lines of “..he joked.” So again, lousy educational system..

        I hope he doesn’t try flying off the roof. He’ll be disappointed that his powers have not set in yet. He’s watching too many #Marvel #movies. Send him to get some #education. Damn, he might think he’s #Spider-Man?

        The world is in need of a hero who can think cool, calm & rationally. Not some reckless guy, doing ridiculously stupid things and wears his underwear outside his pants. We need more #Minions than these tight wearing masked men.

        I’ve been knocked out by lightning twice. Not hit by it, but both times when I came to I didn’t know what had happened, until I blinked and saw the lightning in my eyes. On both occasions, the lightning hit a small stone in front of me. Knocked me back about 15-20 ft .
