Me: Did you see the newly redesigned Arts & Sciences newsletter?
Bullock: No, why?
Me: Well, I'm mentioned in it twice.
Bullock: Well, that's good.
Me: Yeah, but a couple of typos have made the Bodleian Library a branch of the British Library -- which I'm sure they'll be surprised to learn -- and have changed the London Metropolitan Archives into the London Metropolis Archives.
Bullock: [Laughing]
Me: I bet you didn't know London has a vast archive of Superman material, did you?
Bullock: If only Clark Kent had crash-landed in Sussex.

Maybe it's an archive of the silent film Metroplis.
O, Superman. I'm so there! Sign me up for some time at the Daily Planet while I'm in town, too, k?
