It's a thing.

1. Is it a living thing? No, unless you are one of those truly out there romantic philosophers. For everyone else, the answer is No.

2. Is it a tool? No. Once again, those existentialist wind-bag poets might classify it as some kind of tool, but it isn't mechanical at all. The answer is No. All that other babble is probably misleading. Just ignore it.

3. Does it have anything to do with 300? Trick question. You've heard of 6 degrees of seperation? It is not 300, movie, soundtrack, comic or book.

4. Is it something that we see in our daily lives? No. Not even if you were the most die hard fanboy. Probably not then, anyway. You'd need some real help if the answer was yes.

5. Is it bigger than a Xerox DocuColor 3535? No.

6. Is it worn by a person? No.

7. Is this thing physically tangible? Could I pick it up/touch it/break it (by accident, of course) Yes.

8. Is it something used in the past as opposed to present time? No. It is something used in the present as well as the not too distant past. I'm pretty confident it's going to be used in the future too.

9. Is it made of metal? No. I suppose in the abstract it would be theoretically possible, but I'm fairly confident no one has or would.

10. Is it a piece of art? It falls into the general arts catagory, but it's not something that would be found in an art museum.

11. Garden gnome? No, it's not any kind of sculpture. Different field altogether. This thing is usually paper and ink.

12. Is it book? Yes, one with pictures.

13. Is it a poem? No.

14. Is it one of them funny books? You know, a comic book? Yes! Yes, it is a comic book. Though it isn't very funny.

15. Is this comic by Frank Miller? Nope.

16. Is it a comic book featuring a wheelchair-bound mutant? No, no wheelchairs and no mutants.

17. Is this comic published by Marvel? No

18. Does it have a female lead character? I'd say the chick is probably the third main character, though fairly essential to the main themes.

19. Is it the Justice League? No, this was a limited series that's finished.
