There was originally only 10 months. The names of the months were indicative of their order. september - septa (meaning 7), october - octa (meaning 8 ), november - nova (meaning 9) december - deca (meaning 10). The reason they are no longer the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th months is because July was inserted into the calendar after bring invented by roman emperor Julius Caesar and named after himself.  August was inserted into the calender after being invented by roman emperor Augustus Ceasar and named after himself, effectively pushing back the last four months by two slots.

I feel so smart that I already knew this :). Thank you though :)

1 million dollar bills weighs about 1 ton :p

And to keep with my portal quotes,
"The Schrödinger's cat paradox, is the theory that a cat in a box is both alive and dead simultaneously.  Schrödinger invented this paradox as a justification for killing cats."

I knew this. It's a thought experiment for the Hiesenburg Uncertainty Principle

Sometimes, when swinging from branch to branch, sloths mistake their arms for branches and grab them and fall to a painful death 😕😭

The first slave to be owned in Virginia was owned by a black person. Over half the slaves in the US were white.

And his DNA adapted to Earth, and on Krypton he isn't use to the environment, and his powers are useless because they cease to exist, in a way.

Though that would be true due to the incredibles theory (if everyone is super, no one is).  I'm pretty sure kryptonite is just fragments of the planet, making the whole planet a "cure" for the "superpowers".  Just my take.

Yes, but the thing is he can't do what he could do while others can, so he's the only NOT super one.
