Today is April 20th.
Or 4/20 if you will.
As in 420.
Which is a weed reference.
The most common accepted answer to why "420" is even a thing for marijuana smokers is that “420” is code among police officers for “marijuana smoking in progress.”
Apparently that isn't true but who cares?
Today is April 20th so let's do a post in the spirit of the day, a post about the time Superman got high.
I discovered this story while I was flipping about one of my favorite websites, TV Tropes and came across a section called Intoxication Ensues.
This trope involves a situation where one or more characters accidentally partakes of some behavior-altering substance.
However it happens, they wind up behaving in a very loopy manner.
They get high.
Apparently, this happened to Superman.
Seems the Man of Steel gets zapped by something called "silver kryptonite". What does this particular type of kryptonite do?
Well, let's find out.
This was from Superman/Batman#46, written by Michael Green & Mike Johnson and illustrated by Shane Davis & Matt Banning.
OK, I know it's impossible for the scent of anything to cross the hard cold airless vacuum of space but I still love this bit.
"We have to go to North Dakota. Right. Now."
High-frickin'-larious!
Enjoy your 4/20 day, guys!
