A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I think it's definitely possible to break the scissors, not by breaking the metal of either blade, but by frelling the doohickey that joins them together, and shearing that.
My experience of abusing scissors is that the pin that joins the blades won't snap, but it might wrench loose in its joint, so that the blades aren't held tense against each other. You can still cut something with dull scissors (messily), if you've got blade tension, but two sharp blades that don't ever touch each other are basically just really awkward carving knives. The thing you're trying to cut just folds in between the blades.
Which is not nearly as dramatic and amazing as shattering.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
But DX, everything shatters on Clark.
'Twas Daniel said it, not me. That said, there is one thing that doesn't, though. Revolvers. I know this because every time someone throws a gun at Supes he ducks.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Well, back in the serials and 50's, maybe. Has anyone thrown a gun (another silly move) in any of the incarnations since the George Reeves AoS?

Well, if you've used up all your ammunition fruitlessly shooting at Supes, why not?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, you've already proven you're not bright.

Why not toss it over your shoulder as you run away? Or at least run away with your gun with hopes to use it another day, or just drop it and run like hell? Unless it's one that was issued to you, or you picked it up from the table, most people regard their guns as important.
Of course now I'm trying to introduce logic into villainy and the behavior of henchmen...

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Kinda makes me wonder how he sits down. But it does explain the whole "still a virgin while looking this hot" bit.
See, I'd thought the whole dumb as a bag of hammers thing was the explanation for this.

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.

They did a joke about that on JLU, though it was Wonder Woman instead of Supes. Guy empties a clip at her, which she blocks, then hauls back to throw his gun and she says "Like that's going to work."

I have a plan.

Seems they did a joke on that on the Simpsons too. Treehouse of Horror episode 'Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl', guest starring Lucy Lawless (who's not Xena).
