[comics] Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex — Larry Niven wonders about Superman’s Sex Life …‘Ejaculation of semen is entirely involuntary in the human male, and in all other forms of terrestrial life. It would be unreasonable to assume otherwise for a kryptonian. But with kryptonian muscles behind it, Kal-El’s semen would emerge with the muzzle velocity of a machine gun bullet. (*One can imagine that the Kent home in Smallville was riddled with holes during Superboy’s puberty. And why did Lana Lang never notice that?*)’ [via Many Comic Blogs]

Methinks Mr Niven has been watching Kevin Smith’s ‘Clerks’ – there’s an entire scene devoted to Superman and Lois Lane’s sex life, including some ideas about Kryptonian condoms….
on second thoughts – maybe Mr Smith ripped off Mr Niven…..?
It’s not something Niven wrote recently — it was published in 1971…
And it’s been on the web for ages too. We just didn’t notice until BoingBoing did
Hey, I take that back! I read BoingBoing and everyone else reads BugPowder. Bwah-ha-ha! World Domination will be ours!
The write of Larry Niven was done on 1978, so i doubt Kevin Smith was writing the script of Mallrats with an age of only 8 years
