Observer: Why is it that Clark Kent and Superman are never in the same
place at the same time?
ComicFanboy: Because Clark Kent IS Kal-El's secret identity duh!
PuesdoWiseObserver: Wait a minute fanboy, they ARE in the same place
at the same time since Clark Kent IS really Superman. Ha, i'm smart.
TrueWiseObserver: Wrong pseudo. Superman will ALWAYS be superman even
if he wears a dress and stilettos. Clark Kent is just an assumed
identity of Superman.
