      The Fantastic Four is a fictional superhero team appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The group debuted in The Fantastic Four #1 (November 1961), which helped to usher in a new naturalism in the medium. The Fantastic Four was the first superhero team created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist and co-plotter Jack Kirby, who developed a collaborative approach to creating comics with this title that they would use from then on. As the first superhero team title produced by Marvel Comics, it formed a cornerstone of the company’s 1960s rise from a small division of a publishing company to a pop-culture conglomerate. The title would go on to showcase the talents of comics creators such as Roy Thomas, John Byrne, Steve Englehart, Walt Simonson, John Buscema, George Perez and Tom DeFalco, and is one of several Marvel titles still in publication since the Silver Age of Comic Books.

      The four core individuals traditionally associated with the Fantastic Four, who gained superpowers after exposure to cosmic rays during a scientific mission to outer space, are: Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards), a scientific genius and the leader of the group, who can stretch his body into incredible lengths and shapes; the Invisible Woman (Susan “Sue” Storm), Reed’s wife, who can render herself and others invisible and project powerful force fields; the Human Torch (Johnny Storm), Sue’s younger brother, who can generate flames, surround himself with them and fly; and the monstrous Thing (Ben Grimm), their grumpy but benevolent friend, who possesses superhuman strength and endurance due to the nature of his stone-like flesh.

      Since the original four’s 1961 introduction, the Fantastic Four have been portrayed as a somewhat dysfunctional yet loving family. Breaking convention with other comic-book archetypes of the time, they would squabble and hold grudges both deep and petty, and eschew anonymity or secret identities in favor of celebrity status. The team is also well known for its recurring struggles with characters such as the villainous monarch Doctor Doom, the planet-devouring Galactus, the sea-dwelling prince Namor, the spacefaring Silver Surfer, and the shape-changing alien Skrulls.

      The Fantastic Four have been adapted into other media, including four animated television series, an aborted 1990s low-budget film, the major motion picture Fantastic Four (2005), and its sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007).

    Dangit!11!! Can someone direct me to the photing room please (it’s kinda urgent)? Thanks!

  3. Droll not Troll says:

    Oooh! Another “Meaning of Liff” moment!

    Photing: (vb.) Making a snap decision at the polling booth.

      What other kind are you supposed to make…? Have I been doing it wrong??

      • Zaphod Beeblebrox says:

        No, but now there’s a name for it.

        • ShadowSplicer says:

          Is it Zaphod Beeblebrox?

          • Zaphod Beeblebrox says:

            Oops! Forgot to change back.

            • ShadowSplicer says:

              You have been posting like that for a LONG time!

              • JohnB says:

                So has Zaphod Beeblebrox.

                • Droll not Troll says:

                  There is something strange going on here. I would change back to my usual tag, but it wouldn’t stay that way until I’d done it at least 3 times. It’s happened before. Does anyone know why? I suspect faulty cookies.

                  • paws4thot says:

                    Also, I post on other sites using a variant of my real name, rather than my Cheezname (qv). Recently, I was trying to start posting on another WordPretzel blog, and it refused to let me post when I changed my name from paws4thot, but the Cheeznet sites are all happy to let me change my posting name regularly. I’m sure you’ve noted Dreadful Spelling Sprite and Dreadful Pun Hell Fairy’s new colleage!

                  • blueJade says:

                    I had a severe disagreement with the name droid also. It even took away my yellow avatar and never gave it back.

                  • ShadowSplicer says:

                    Just delete the cookies!

                    • Droll not Troll says:

                      I would, if I knew which ones. I don’t want to delete them all very often, because some of them are useful.
                      I have been looking for a “Delete all cookies except those selected” command. Maybe no-one has thought of it yet.

                      • lexan D says:

                        If you are using Firefox you can do something similar to that.

                        • Droll not Troll says:

                          I’m not, but I was wondering about that. I can’t see a way to do it.
                          Is it an add-on?

                        • lexan D says:

                          No, wasn’t referring to an add-on. Though there may be an add-on with additional features, there are so many for Firefox.

                          In Firefox select > tools > options > privacy ….there will be a number of settings there to choose from including a number of settings for cookies. You can customize.

                        • Droll not Troll says:

                          Apparently the Mac version is different. There is no “options” in the Tools menu. The only way that I’ve found to access cookies is >Preferences>Privacy, which is not where they’re located in Safari, so I can’t see why they would make that change.

                        • lexan D says:

                          Neither Mac that I use has Firefox at this time nor are they used for going online.

                          The latest version of Firefox is 3.5.5 that I know of.

                          I do have Safari on my PC in addition to other browsers. I like it but wish that it had more choices for it’s settings especially for security/cookies.

                          Long time ago I used to only work with Macs and often found PCs to be a little disorienting.
                          I’m sure I amused many people when I’d say, when working on a PC, – nothing is where it should be!-. lol

                        • Droll not Troll says:

                          “nothing is where it should be”- too right! I still remember the first time I had to use Win95. I struggled through, and then tried to find the shut-down command. Who in their right mind would put it behind a button marked START ?

                        • lexan D says:

                          umm yes, that says a lot…:lol: :lol: :lol:

                          When I first approached Vista it was with gritted teeth. But much to my surprise I found that I really liked it. I think that is because there are some aspects of it that remind me of earlier Mac OS’s, like 8.5 or earlier.

    • dr handle says:

      Snap – that’s exactly what I thought the moment I saw this picture.

      To phote: (v.i.) to pretend to be talking on your mobile so as to avoid having to talk to someone you would prefer to avoid.

      To phote: (v.t.) to change the ringtone of someone else’s phone to a song that has obscene lyrics without their knowledge or permission.

      • Droll not Troll says:

        Heh heh! That second one reminds me of the time a woman accused me of whistling a dirty tune. Naturally, she had no idea why I started laughing.

        • dr handle says:

          Like the reply that Samuel Johnson gave to the woman who congratulated him on omitting obscene words from his dictionary: “And how would you know, madam, unless you went looking for them?”

  4. Todak says:

    What happens if I accidentally phot here?

  5. Mr Evilwrench says:

    Ooh isn’t someone just BAD? Taking a phote of the “no photing” sign! What is civil society coming to?

    • jinxed says:

      It’s dem rebellious teenagers again.

      • ShadowSplicer says:

        I am actually not rebellious at ALL! I listen to the old people above me, I eat my veggies, and I wouldn’t have anything to rebel over!

        • Droll not Troll says:

          Not at ALL? i don’t think that’s possible, or even desirable. There’s nothing wrong with rebelling against things you think are wrong, as long as you’ve thought about it and what you do doesn’t just make things worse.
          I’m sure you don’t do everything the “old people” tell you; nobody gets it right all the time. If I went along with half the things my 80-year-old neighbour has told me, I’d be completely crazy. (instead of just a bit crazy).

    • the cat says:

      Indeed, it clearly says no photing and yet someone has photed it. Can they not read?

  6. la conejita says:

    Wait, I think I get it. No photing means they don’t want you to take a photo with your camera sideways. Look at the picture, it couldn’t have been clearer. As long as your using the camera in the upright position, you should be fine.

  7. JohnB says:

    Where’s a photon to go?

  8. dves says:

    Very funny. that’s not correct english.

  9. fatty says:

    It actually means ‘No Voting.’ Because it’s China.

  10. lexan D says:

    This is all just too phoo phoo for me.

  11. i_speke_engrish says:

    oops, i photed

  12. Droll not Troll says:

    ♫ I phot the sign, and the sign won. ♫
