[@jacobwillis7596]

Maybe this is why Sups now is dating Wonder Woman.

[@exmachin3926]

This story is messed up on so many different levels of morality, who knew Lois was so blindly evil.

[@hydrolito]

Go back and read some early Superman stories from 1938 through world war 2 and watch cartoons of him from that period, that guy was terrible in many stories, destroyed people houses, tossed person out of airplane, sank submarine killing everyone on board, tossed people a distance so would have to be dead. How he let Lex Luthor live when he killed or allowed to die, so many others some of which committed no crime must be far less than a good character.

[@Nightman221k]

Okaaay, Silver-Age Lois Lane was one crazy-ass lady! And I'm a little surprised that the character managed to be remain as dignified in the Golden Age and post-Silver Age stories when there are stories like this about her.

[@Agel1ic]

the silver age was creepy

[@TheSonicfanx1]

This sounds like a really bad Fan Fiction.

[@rodney2x48]

+TheSonicfanx1 You can probably say that about most of the Silver Age DC Comics to be honest. XD

[@infinityalbi9840]

Absolutely!

[@jigniishvids9181]

A hilariously really bad fan ficiom

[@Batman22]

_Yeah... Silver Age Lois Lane was a terrible person. And yeah, Lois deserved everything she got in this comic._

[@MrLCGO]

To be fair, silver age Superman was equally awful, they were a match made in hell. There's a reason why Jimmy Olsen was a fan favorite.

[@donovanlarsen7982]

+MrLCGO Well, that explains the crazy Justice League 3000 version of Lois Lane.

Silver Age Lois Lane could be its own segent for this channel if you wanted to

[@Pompo5]

funny as hell ending. give him the time with their parents you had, minus makign out with his dad part

[@wk3820]

Ironically, I just read Lois Lane # 59 last week and this popped up today. It really was a fun story, but I suspect the thing driving the sales was Schaffenberger putting Lois in that micro-miniskirt. He was one of the very best at disguising what was really "good girl art" inside conventional stories. By the mid-sixties, he was making Lois' skirts tighter and shorter, and occasionally finding excuses to put her and/or Lana into attractive costumes (I still recall one story having them both in saucy cocktail waitress outfits with fishnets). For the time, it was a rather bold subtext in the stories, especially for DC!

[@NerdSyncProductions]

*QUESTION TIME!* Should Lois have told Superman that she found a way to go back in time and visit his living parents? Or should she just keep it a secret and hope Superman never finds out about her romance with Jor-El?

[@NerdSyncProductions]

***** Do you think it would be awkward if Superman goes back in time to visit his parents and learned about this story? Would that change his perspective of his father?

[@stewdippin]

Given the circumstances of Lois being a...rooster obstacle...I think it's best that she didn't tell him.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Haha! Well said.

[@cocobarbarian1510]

Just imagine how that conversation would go. Lois telling Superman she made out with his dad.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Cocobarbarian Haha. So you're siding with Lois keeping it all to herself?

[@shoresean1237]

I have to admit, I've been avoiding this one till I could control my face-palming instinct, after my brother watched it and told me of it. It reeks of Silver-Age sociopathy, perhaps exceeded only by the 'evil-destroying' sequence in 'Superman Red, Superman Blue' Imaginary. Another nail in the coffin of Lois' foray into Big Huge Stupid? If she could have somehow really become Superman's mother, and if he was sent to Earth successfully (which would mean she died), then Superman would be Half-Human and therefore vastly weaker! So, Lois? Not only are you an obsessive stalker with apparent pedophilic tendencies, your complete lack of thinking things through could have fatally compromised the greatest hero of them all. Lex is looking down on you and shaking his head. BTW, for a premise almost as Nutzoid (what a great word) : Try Lois Lane 106, wherein she...has Superman reconfigure her to be an African-American woman for 24 Hours. Even their efforts to be inclusive were on acid. To be fair, I'm sure they had her learn an important 70's Afterschool Special Lesson...or not.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Rob Morris There have been so many times when I almost talked about that story, but it's just so awful that I don't even want to attempt it.

[@shoresean1237]

***** I don't think you need to. The cover to LL 106 alone is already a meme to very bad writing. This one alone could function as a 'Family Guy' cutaway, with almost no edits. In fact, that Lois is less of a psycho at times than this one.

[@diamondjelyninja7135]

I DESPISE THE EXISTENCE OF THE SILVER AGE

[@Shenruss]

+Rob Morris Sir, there are not enough likes to put under your comment. This story _epitomizes_ why I *never* liked Lois Lane as a character pre-1990, how people wrote/viewed women in the 1950s/60s [all about "Gotta get the Man!"] and why the Silver Age, at least in comics, arguably had more drug users than the 80s crack and cocaine epidemic. I mean, this story shows how this character was not only a *bat shit crazy man hungry **_Caricature_** of the imappropriate* , but also the _lenghts_ she would go to, messing up _countless peoples lives_ and then turning on a dime just to get what she wants. Bet your bottom dollar, *Wonder Woman* would be smart enough to not do such bull****! Why they _ever_ made this comic book series is beyond me; all it was was stories about Lois being catty, scheming, or being an utter pain in Superman's ass as she tries to get his attention. I mean come on... deliberately stopping to plant secret into a couples yard and essentially take advantage of their _baby?_ REALLY????? The few times they used _Clark- in the story, it was still featured around this poor imitation of _I Love Lucy_ -esque comedy. Never understood what Superman saw in this version of her, and I am _grateful_ that, say what you want Scott, the 90s actually made this chick somewhat _tolerable_ ; Erica Durance's portrayal in _Smallville_ actually made her *likeable*.

[@Cythil]

+Diamondjelyninja Not all of the Silver age is so insane.... Actually most of it is as insane.. But a lot of it it a fair bit more happy and reliable then a story about a insane woman stalks her boyfriends father in the past. There some good stories in the silver ages to even if they tend to be a bit on the insane side. Sometimes the characters are actually reliable. I mean it is the age where Spiderman was born and Peter Parker is made to be a reliable character.

[@leerxate7838]

Time travel should be kept to the flash. Lol

[@piccolo56000]

leerx Ate seriously only he knows how to properly change things LMFAO

[@oceanman4563]

lonewolf colin *cough* Flashpoint *cough*

[@piccolo56000]

G Man *coughs with you* yes I know that.

[@TheOneTrueKaliban]

I LOVE the delirium of some of the silver age stories. Remember the TV episode, in which two small time crooks got into an argument over lemon pie? One said that his ex girlfriend made the best in the world, while the other claimed that his mom (if memory serves) did. They agreed to get pies from both women and find someone to judge which was best. Of course, both women refused. The GF had a new squeeze, who was currently manning a remote tracking station in Alaska and for whom she'd baked one of her lemon pies. She placed an ad in The Planet, asking Superman to fly the pie to the guy. (poetry not intended) Meanwhile, a hillbilly, played by Chuck Connors, arrived in Metropolis, with his pet mule in tow. He's really impressed "with them fancy hitchin' posts y'all got up here". (Parking meters.) When he checked into a hotel, we learned that his name is Mr. Superman. Everyone assumed that he was the real thing, in disguise. He found out about the ad and agreed to "fly" to Alaska, with the pie. Of course, this meant chartering a plane, which he did. When he reached the outpost, with the gangster in pursuit, and the real Superman showed up, the poor boyfriend decided that not any of this lunacy could possibly be happening and concluded that isolation had driven him insane. The episode ended with him sitting down and sharing the pie with Superman, who explaind that he was not crazy. I did NOT know that David Lynch had ever written for the show. As to the creepiness of the Lois Lane story, yeah, not good. It reminds me of how I felt when 'Smallville' cast one of my favorite Hollywood beauties, Annette O'Toole, as Martha Kent. Now, I'm hot for Superboys' mom and THAT is just SO wrong! :-/ Thanks a heap, Warner Brothers!

[@matthewwilliams5407]

Wow, Lous reached a new type of ho-low

[@asesinodes]

Silver age Lois Lane is very creepy but it seems it was use for comic relieve.

[@realshow689]

+Víctor Andrés Hernández Patiño *relief and not really. She was the main character of the story. You can't be the relief if you're the star.

[@DeusExAstra]

Silver Age Superman writers were on crack, that's the only explanation for those stories

[@CarstenFGaming]

One of my favorite Superman Videos. Keep up the good work!

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Thanks for watching! Superman has a ton of great content to pull from!

[@bloodysteel6429]

Well... good to know... Lois was a terrible person... yeah...

[@NerdSyncProductions]

BloodySteel64 Hahahahaha

[@piccolo56000]

BloodySteel64 * silver age other lois lanes were so great and well written this was just laughable,

[@wompastompa3692]

Jesus Christ silver age.

[@JohnnyGNV]

Well done - do you think you could possibly do a telling of how Lois Lane and Lana Lang are confused by SUPERMAN'S romance with "Lana Lane", a gal who looked like a combination of both of them - circa 1963 or so - would be great if you could.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Johnny Gainor That sounds neat. I'll add it to the list.

[@kunverdi]

Do they really call it Kryptonese in the comics? Not Kryptonian? My heart just sank for the stupidity of all.

[@hydrolito]

Kryptonese is the language and Kryptonian is what they call the people. Spaniard was people and language is Spanish. Although they don't use term Spaniard as much today, more like to say Spanish or Hispanic.

[@kunverdi]

I've heard Kryptonian used as the name of the language many times. It's a fictional people and language so anything is fair game. But I've heard predominantly that. However, when new people come in and change things, sometimes they make bad choices. I just don't like the sound of the word Kryptonese. To my ear, it sounds stupid. Kind of like the word comfortability (which now may or may not be a word based on colloquial usage). Anyway, back to your examples, I think the proper comparisons to use are words such as Portuguese, Chinese, German, French, Slovokian, etc... They refer to nationalities and languages. It is highly unusual and weird to mix a -ian with an -ese. There is Slovokian, and there is Chinese. But you would not mix the two endings to have one refer to a people and things of a country, and then use the other for the language. That's why it sounds stupid. And that's why it is a bad choice for even a fictional "people". It represents a basic misunderstanding of how the English language works, i.e. mistake. Hope that makes sense.

[@sdm47]

@@kunverdi I think kryptonese has a nice ring to it

[@zettovii1367]

And this is why Supes is better off with Wondy...

[@rumgone87]

lol no. let's keep that shallow basic mess out of the reflections on the hilarious dickery that is the silver age, thanks.

[@piccolo56000]

Zetto Vii well you are confused , the match you are talking about is the new 52 version lois lane is known for her pre new 52 character which is awesome match for superman , new 52 wonder woman and superman is ok in their own right,

[@josiahjenksisawesome]

+Zetto Vii No, Wony is better off with Bats

[@zettovii1367]

josiah jenks Even tho Bats makes a better couple with the Cat.

[@josiahjenksisawesome]

Zetto Vii Wonder Woman was the best. *Though I could be Nostalgic for the Cartoon*

[@Jettscreamer99]

WOW!! Didn't know Lois was so selfish

[@nolastname]

"Bitch Lois" is funny with her self-foiling schemes of the silver age. Nearly a vilain but hilarious with every ideas backfiring. The competition between her and lana lang was also incredible .

[@Nothing_serious]

I've always thought that old comics were better but now...

[@bacarrakris5432]

the most famous subject of weapon one is Captain America

[@Dave-mk9st]

Haha and lets not forget the horror of Lois being trapped in the Phantom Zone for what...30 years? Go Silver Age!

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Dave Crane Nah, she's fine. Haha

[@redleaderantilles1263]

She was trapped with zod and jax-url or whatever for 30 years that's as many as 3 10's and that's terrible.

[@IvanMoncure]

redleader antillies "thats as many as three tens, and thats terrible" atleast she wasn't stealing cakes

[@shoresean1237]

BTW, Scott - this makes at least two of your pieces that ended up relegated to a special Pre-Crisis alternate Earth called Earth-B, being this one and your pal Mopee. Anytime DC ended up thinking better of a story and wanted it gone forever, they gave it to Earth-B, or they eventually did. Other stars include Catwoman as a cold-blooded thrill-killer, Batman's mentally disturbed older brother Thomas Wayne Jr., and Sgt. Rock living into the 1970's, teaming twice with a Batman who started out in WW2. A lot of these stories came from the run of a writer/editor named Bob Haney on Brave & Bold. Team-up books tend to have stuff like this - in a Thing team-up, Hercules lifted all of Manhattan island - only to have a much later book relegate this to a boast. It's an easy guess that these stories were made to fill space, and they got increasingly desperate for ideas as time went by.

[@Faux_Papa]

[@NerdSyncProductions]

I agree! Haha. Thanks for watching. Like I said in the video, even if it's just 5 subscribers leaving good comments, I'd still do the show!

[@shockmonkeyradio7128]

"Silver Age at it's Finest!" LMAO, totally, especially with the "Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane" title...

[@Spoomis]

I love the old Silver Age stories, and it is good to see that they are returning to this formula.

[@elsupersexysayayin.1089]

I think it was a really really bad story but it is so bad it is funny which makes it kind of enjoyable.

[@ellieryder8190]

El sexy super sayayin I agree i mean it took her the whole story to realise how gross her crush on her boyfriend's DAD!!! stupid but funny

[@HerohammerStudios]

She borrows a time machine... Seems legit

[@manastormchild5119]

i can't really remember when exactly the silver age of comics was but i think it was somewhen in the fifties and you have to know that after world war II there were very few men compared to women - that lead to the iconic fifties look, because every woman tried to be the prettiest and/or best she could be to "trap" a man and secure a future and a family. there are many articles and youtube videos that adress this topic (i personally prefer the historically acurate makeup video, but i can also understand why you might not be that interested in that one ;D)

[@jaqx2]

I love this story! haha! Jor-El and Kal-El are Eskimo Brothers!

[@jeffrhodes8465]

If Superman had a time machine he would pull a Cartman, "Screw you guys, I'm going home!"

[@Catlord98765]

The Spiral notebook will never go out of style.

[@hydrolito]

Don't need a password to operate a spiral notebook.

[@macsnafu]

I had to come back and watch this one again. It's a lot of fun! But about Lois giving the time machine to Superman so he can spend time with his parents, well he did do that at some point. The "World of Krypton" miniseries covered much of Superman's origin and mythos, including the fact that at some point Superman did indeed go back in time and spend some time with his parents.

[@Skullkid20999]

Weapon I is everybody's favorite Captain America.if i recall Fantomex was XIII,Wolverine was X and Deadpool is XI

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Most of that is correct, but we'll talk about that next time. Along with many more characters.

[@charles9655]

Good job. But darn I actually knew the answer this time

[@NerdSyncProductions]

[@raymondrose5961]

The most famous and successful subject of the Weapon I Program was Steve Rogers, aka Captain America. The Weapon I Program was also known as " Project Rebirth " , or the " Super Soldier Program ".

[@rileyrichards8498]

Captain America was Weapon I in World War 2!!!! The show is so awesome:)

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Thank you very much, Riley!

Dang that's like Back to the Future in reverse. Hilarious. 😂

[@DogOfHades]

4:05 "But what if she doesn't come out beautiful? Heh, Heh!" Damn Lois...the only thing missing is a thin mustache and your hand twirling it.

[@mikecunningham4682]

Nice episode! Have you ever thought about doing an episode talking about all the comics on the wall behind you and why those ones specifically are there? Or a MODOK episode, that'd be cool. Good luck with the move too!

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Thanks, Mike! And I have often thought about doing an episode about the show itself. Lots of behind the scenes stuff that you guys don't get to see as well as talking about the comics on the wall and that sort of goodness. I was just waiting for a good time to do that episode. Like a 50th or 100th episode special or something. And I will add MODOK to the list!

[@mikecunningham4682]

Ahh right, that's a cool idea, I never thought of it as a 50th episode special or something, maybe as a 3000 subscriber special? I'd love to hear you just rant about crazy random characters like MODOK

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Maybe a 10,000 subscriber special?! haha. One thing I'm trying to stray away from is origin stories and histories of characters, because I think other people do that stuff way better than I could. But if it's someone that not a lot of people talk about (like Topo or Etta Candy for example) then I don't have a problem making an episode about them. MODOK might fall under that category too.

[@mikecunningham4682]

Some origins would be pretty cool, Booster Gold might be cool to do an origin on. Most of all just do what you think you can do best.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

I've wanted to do Booster Gold for a while. I just love time travel stuff (as you can see from the video above). But I want to try to throw in some added value or question if I were to do origin stories. Like the Moon Knight episode asking the question "Is Moon Knight Marvel's Batman?" I want to start acting more questions to spark conversations and debates. It's always fun to learn from those in the comments who are much smarter than I am!

[@RKCrystalSoul]

Scott Niswander is Weapon I, designed to be the perfect comic misconceptions host!

[@NerdSyncProductions]

RKCrystalSoul is Weapon Zero: Classified, but probably awesome!

[@RorroMakesFilms]

Captain America, the weapon X was another super soldier test...i think

[@connerkent1736]

I have too buy this comic book this awesome

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Conner Kent Definitely!

[@luizneto727]

Conner Kent LOL

[@amilcarpolanen5994]

i read a comic sometime agowhere superman was absorbed by a crystal type monster and had died that way.never got to read the next issue but hope you can shed some light on what happened after that.

[@ChrisVasquezBass]

The writer of that comic just go nuts man!

[@mr_bluegreen2214]

Hi Scott, I would love to see videos on why Lois Lane became a reporter or why Lois Lane and Superman are meant for each other or Why Silver Age Lois loves Superman but isn't interested in Clark Kent. Maybe you did vidoes on these topics before and I haven't found them yet. Thanks for hearing me.

[@thebluePrincess5904]

Linkara needs to review this comic it will be hilarious

[@primegundam]

Silver Age Lois was batshit awesome.

[@CoolPaDuke]

I love the logic of the Silver Age. "I just invented a ray gun. I know what it's supposed to do, but it hasn't been tested yet. I know! I'll randomly fire it out the window in the general direction of my infant son and my ex-girlfriend who is creepily slobbering all over him. What could go wrong?"

[@cassiedevereaux-smith3890]

OhmaGERD. This is effin' AMAZING. I love the Silver Age!

[@kiToro945]

great job dude this is a great comic book show your awsome and I just subscribed good luck moving :D my guess would probrobally be deadpool or wolverine

[@wolfkniteX]

Well if the Christopher Reeves movie is any help Jor-El's AI does mention that days on Krypton are 28 hours long.

[@stranger59]

If Magnificent Bitch was a term, it would have a picture of Silver Age Lois Lane next to the definition. I wonder when she slowly started to change from crazy problem maker into modern Lois.

[@rocky0713a]

Great story I read it back in the 60's in the 80 page giant.

[@FIRSTPLACE562]

Captain America or the first person of the Weapon X program

[@mangonectar8117]

This is the silver age at it finest

[@AlanChair]

Captain America was the first successful Weapon I program because it's logical that he was first because he was alive WAY before all of the other mutants (as far as we know so far)

[@NerdSyncProductions]

There were definitely mutants before Captain America existed, but we'll talk more about that next time. Thanks for watching!

[@cocobarbarian1510]

Wait isn't Wolverine older than Captain America??? and if so doesn't that also make Mystique older than Captain America

[@kofteburger]

That would be awesome if they go back and retrieve that time machine now. Talk about a deep canon pull.

[@jreddoch1]

I'm surprised she never tried to get busy with Pa Kent.

[@humanperson3601]

Captain America was part of the weapon plus program aka the super soldier program. Captain America is technically weapon I. Some stuff about mutants and Hydra and what not... I think sinister has some part in it maybe shadow king, I don't recall the information I found that at.

[@keenanmccarty9925]

This is the greatest comic of all time.

[@DarkSupression101]

This kinda gives me inspiration to write a story where Lois goes back in time and she marries Zod's dad, giving birth to none other than the good General, thinking that if she raised him, he wouldn't have turned up such a bad guy. And, of course, in Silver Age goodness, she SUCCEDS!

[@rayvenkman2087]

In that case, no wonder Zod has a dislike for the letter L.

[@raul5578PR]

True keep doing more Superman videos

[@msantiago2020]

That was a creepy story... Lois Lane was insane for accepting to go back in time, travel to a different Planet, and for what, just to ruined her relationship with Superman.

[@brz757]

Lois was Superman's great great x 50 grandmother in Red Son.

[@midnightdarkchocolate]

Captain America. .... who is well known for being the first successful experiment.

[@weemps.]

Well that was some outright confangled flim-flammery

[@DStrormer]

Random guess: Maverick? Also, Lois is kinda jacked up in the silver age. Not that the comics I grew up with were some kind of Shakespeare, but then again Shakespeare was written for the illiterate, common masses so I guess 90's ftw.

[@somebuddyX]

Sassy Scott is the best.

[@austinp.2259]

I have only 4 words for this video. Back to the Future.

[@TheUrDragon]

Captain Friggin' Merica

[@danarosecrystal2009]

I loved the Lois Lane stories

[@kick1232]

wait a sec Lois was back in time and got trapped in the Phantom Zone doesn't that mean she would be stuck there for years before Superman ever found her ? Doesn't that mean he never even meets her ?

[@EnochOfficial]

kick1232 hahahahahaha good point!

[@lehns1]

+kick1232 Nah that's not how time travel works. She went back in time, leaving the current time line were she knows him and has already meet him. Had she died back there then it would of been like she just went missing never to be seen again in the current time line. The hole getting put in and then brought back out, makes it more like she was only gone for a few min's, hr's days all depending on the time lapse between the moment she went back in time say, Monday, and however long it took superman to notice her in the phantom zone, say Friday. Then She would of been missing for those few days is all.

[@ethansmith6149]

0:25 Ha...You said eScapades. Ya know..."S"? Aw, forget it.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

"It's not an S. On my world, it means hope. HOPEcapades!" Haha

[@siddharthsantosh6608]

When Silver age comics does this, people love it. When modern comics do this, EVERYONE GOES INTO CRAZY-MODE!

[@Fatboyftw32]

+Sidharth Santosh Well it's because the silver age being crazy is expected. Modern Comics are usually cited to be more realistic and make more sense.

[@Papa_Static]

1st vid I've seen on this channel. Subscribed. Lol

[@newsleet]

I wonder if you can talk about superhero teams of the golden and silver age.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

A little broad. Did you have any specifics in mind?

[@redleaderantilles1263]

Do jsa, if only so that you have to read the golden age and 90's stuff if you have not already.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Haha, that's still pretty vague. "Do an episode about _____" never really helps me out. I need specifics. What exactly you want me to try and answer or uncover.

[@redleaderantilles1263]

Well there is an actual misconception involved. Some people believe that the first dc team was the JLA when in fact the JSA was there long before hand. Same goes for marvels team the invaders which pre dates ff and the avengers. I think there are several other teams and stuff that most people don't know exist. Plus its golden age version is perfect for explaining how golden age WW2 era comics and war stuff was without to much racism. Blackhawks (another early dc team) is the ultimate ww2 comic and is incredibly racist in so many levels. It's interesting that there is so much continuity in the golden age for dc even though most of these books are tie together. Like apparently dr.midnight is a legacy hero who is actually kinda important and I never even knew he existed till a few months back.

[@hydrolito]

The Team was called the All Winner Squad back in the 1940's and they retconned it into being the Invaders after the Fantastic Four already existed. All Winner Squad had Namor the Submariner, Human Torch, Toro(teenager like Human Torch but dark hair), Whizzer with Super speed, Captain America, Bucky, Miss America with super strength, tough, speed,and flying.

[@clarkkent6035]

Somethings can't be unseen..

[@mrrandomlol100]

The patriotic, the red, the white, the blue, the first avenger....,, Captain America!!!!!!

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Most of that statement was correct! Haha. I think Captain America was actually the sixth Avenger. I don't mean to be "that guy." However, he is very spangly! Haha

[@ninjabluefyre3815]

This is why Superman works alone.

Comics used to be so much fun back in the day. I hate the fact that they've gotten so dark and serious in the past few decades.

[@otaku4745]

AH, the Silver Age: where Superman was a dick in all covers, his pet dog Krypto had his own pet Justice League, and Batman fought criminals in the body of a baby. Good times (not really).

Weapon I's most famous subject was Steve Rogers, aka Captain America.

I thought of a way this one could be made less terrible. Just frame it with a couple panels at the beginning showing Lois going to bed and a couple more at the end showing her waking up & saying "What a weird dream." or something like that.

I was JUST reading up on the Wikipedia page on the Weapon Plus program yesterday. Though, because I was I wont put in an answer just to keep it fair.
