Steve Lombard: "Superman Saves Mission To The Sun"? We don't know that yet, Lois.::Lois Lane: I already write Superman stories before they happen. If you don't know how big the sun is, go away.::Jimmy Olsen: It's 333,000 times bigger than the size of the Earth. I looked it up on my Superman signal watch.
Dr. Leo Quintum: Your trip to the sun overexposed your cells to solar radiation more than even your body can metabolize.::Superman: I see it, like tiny fireworks beneath my skin.::Dr. Leo Quintum: Your cells are over-saturated with power. Their bursting from within.::Superman: I'm dying.::Dr. Leo Quintum: I'm sorry, Superman. If I hadn't tried to steal fire from the sun, none of this would have happened.::Superman: Don't apologize. You couldn't have known.::Dr. Leo Quintum: But *he* knew. It was his plan all along. Luthor used me to kill you.
Clark Kent: Why, thanks, Lois. I don't know where my self-esteem would be without you.::Lois Lane: Alone, in front of the TV.
Lois Lane: That key can't be safe.::Superman: Why don't you give it a try?::[Lois tries to lift the key from the ground]::Superman: I carved it out of a piece of dwarf star material. It weighs half a million tons.::Lois Lane: So you're the only one who can lift it.::Superman: I work pretty hard, Lois.
Lois Lane: It all makes sense now. He's brought me here to be the mother of a race of super-children. Can't let that happen. They'll grow up and lie to everybody.
Superman: You stole that necklace.::Atlas: Don't you see? We couldn't fight the Ultra-Sphinx without help, so we let it chase us here.::Samson: But we meant no harm to Lois, I swear to living Zeus.::Superman: And I swear too. If she dies, you're both going to the Phantom Zone. Ultra-Sphinx, let's hear it.::Ultra-Sphinx: Question: What happens when the irresistible force meets the immovable object?::Superman: They surrender.
Atlas: Wait a minute, what about our contest? Answering a riddle is hardly what I'd call a feat of strength.::Samson: I agree. How about I wrestle you for her? Or is the mighty Man of Steel a coward?::Atlas: Even the shield on his chest is yellow.
Superman: Then we have a deal? If I win, you both leave the 21st century right now.::Atlas: I'll be leaving, all right, with the beauteous Lois Lane on my arm.::Samson: Not if I beat him first.::[they double arm-wrestle Superman]::Superman: I'm sorry, have you two already started?::[slams their arms down]
Lois Lane: My birthday gift's wearing off. I can't see radio waves anymore. I can't hear the stars singing. I'm tired and sore all over, like I've been dancing all night. Thanks for letting me spend a day in your world.::Superman: You know, I do other things. I mean, besides being Superman.::Lois Lane: You do a great Clark Kent impersonation. You almost had me fooled. Wait till I tell him about this.
Clark Kent: Gotta get away from him.::[runs from Parasite behind a pillar]::Lex Luthor: What's the matter, Kent? Afraid he'll absorb your cowardice?
A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also called angiosperms). The biological function of a flower is to effect reproduction, usually by providing a mechanism for the union of sperm with eggs. Flowers may facilitate outcrossing (fusion of sperm and eggs from different individuals in a population) or allow selfing (fusion of sperm and egg from the same flower). Some flowers produce diaspores without fertilization (parthenocarpy). Flowers contain sporangia and are the site where gametophytes develop. Flowers give rise to fruit and seeds. Many flowers have evolved to be attractive to animals, so as to cause them to be vectors for the transfer of pollen.
In addition to facilitating the reproduction of flowering plants, flowers have long been admired and used by humans to beautify their environment, and also as objects of romance, ritual, religion, medicine and as a source of food.
A stereotypical flower consists of four kinds of structures attached to the tip of a short stalk. Each of these kinds of parts is arranged in a whorl on the receptacle. The four main whorls (starting from the base of the flower or lowest node and working upwards) are as follows:
