Hello Babies of 2012

“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth.
It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter.
It’s round and wet and crowded.
On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here.
There’s only one rule that I know of, babies - God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.”
          ― Kurt Vonnegut

"With great power there must also come great responsibility."

— This saying was popularized by Stan Lee, who celebrates his 89th birthday today. He was born Stanley Lieber in New York City. The line comes from the Spider-Man comic, about a teenager who’s bitten by a radioactive spider and becomes a crime-fighting superhero. Stan Lee also helped create the Fantastic Four, the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, and the X-Men.
