Can Mr. Fantastic reassemble himself after he is diced up into little pieces?

Probably not, but there's some question whether or not he's too elastic to ever actually be cut. I believe he has to deliberately tense himself up enough for a needle to penetrate when drawing blood or inoculating himself.

Now I'm envisioning strands of Mr. Fantastic getting wound around Wolverine's claws like salt water taffy. It's kinda disturbing.

Reed's like Wolverine's platonic ideal arch-nemesis. Can't be cut, charge at him and you just get bounced around harmlessly like a kid in one of those Moon Walk tents, and the whole time you spend in a berserker rage trying ineffectually to hurt him he's calmly lecturing you that you should just settle down and talk out your differences like rational adults.

Batman & Robin #16 is out today. Later tonight I will reread the series. And maybe RIP again. And then maybe I'll have another dream about Grant Morrison being shaman-y! Good times.
This week I love Demian for "You're not a clone are you? Or some stupid robot?"

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Nice one, Laga.
Sadly it wasn't much of a challenge, but I suppose that's not the point.

Finished second read-through of Scott Pilgrim. Pretty much re-enforced my intial impressions, though Lucas Lee is definately more of a dick in the comics than I originally thought, just not nearly as much as his movie counter-part.
Still don't understand the Glow (So Gideon somehow invented a way to make people's head glow, which makes them hate themselves, and somehow it made him millions of dollars? Bwuh?). I finally just decided to shrug and give up trying to make sense of it and enjoy the story.
I will say after the second time through Kim may be my favorite character.

Heh. A webcomic about the weird and amusing crap customers say in this' guy's comicbook store. [link]
Although some of them are kind of "Yeah, that's typical nerd-speak. Why is this noteworthy?"
