I know the idea of having 3 random people have the same blood type seems far fetched, but back when I was still in school, I guy I started hanging out with, his girlfriend's friend, and my girlfriend all shared my blood type (O+, the most common one apparently.) Keep in mind that just because something seems improbable statistically, it still happens, or else no one would ever win the lottery.

The return of Black Adam would have been a more powerful story had they waited longer for him to regain his powers, as it was, this is just a few months after he lost them in <b>52</b> (or was it <b>World War III</b>?) Black Adam has the potential to be an interesting character in that you don't always know whether to root <i>for</i> him or <i>against</i> him. This story is touching on those points, but I'd like to see a little more. Questionable medicine aside, I find it to be a mediocre series.

I read the House recap comments last week and was a little worried about the general populations perceptions of blood types. Was there no new episode of Private Practice this week?

Here I was thinking to myself "wait a minute, they can't all be the same blood type!" and then I thought they were trying to do the universal doner kind of thing and I was like "that can't be right, one's O- and the other is AB+" so it was kind of confusing. My first thought, though was the whole "veterenarian has things to treat humans like that?". hahaha, silly adam, vets vets are for rabbits! haha, that dialogue was confusing me!
