          CAPES
Let's face it, wearing a cape makes everything better. Whether it's running in the back yard, diving onto a hotel bed, plunging the toilet or fighting off your roommate—the task at hand is much much more enjoyable with a cape. The cape makes you and everyone around you believe that you are special, swifter, more graceful, worthy, important and down right awesome. So if you're just doing your job or going on your morning jog, don't forget the cape.

         NOSTRADAMUS
Nostradamus worked during the 16th century as a apothecary, astrologer and author of almanacs. During the plague he was considered a miracle worker. Upon his death he was buried standing up. He is remembered today for his amazing skill at foretelling future events. His collection of 4 line poems (almost continuously in print for the past 400 plus years) can be viewed as masterpieces of crafty writing where broad generalities can be interpreted as mystic foretelling. Or, the divine words of a clairvoyant seer hiding his witchcraft among prose.

I learned from "The Incredibles" and "Watchmen" that capes are not Awesome, and can in fact, become a massive liability in the fighting of crime.
But I learned from 300 that it's not really g** to wear only a leather speedo and a cape, so I'm torn about capes.

I don't think that this particular G a y needs to be screened.

I'm picturing capes like when I was a little kid and felt empowered when I put one on. Those memories are whats making me vote for capes.
reply
ok, but if you're cape gets caught in a revolving door and you get gunned down by your arch rival, don't come crying to me.
reply
Dude if you aren't awesome enough to wear a cape something bad will happen to you for sure and you will deserve it. Batman, Superman, Zorro... They never had trouble wearing the awesome mantle. Capes are awesome!
reply
Even if Nostradamus was NOT a mystic (I don't think he was) I do think he likely had an uncanny ability to understand individual and collective psychology, and extrapolate this out seemingly forever, to make some remarkably accurate predictions. In his day, to make these types of sophisticated "prophecies" was pretty awesome
