Oh, that's right, because I'm not on crack. But for your bewilderment, I present...

Well, *that* I didn't know.

If you were anything like me as a kid, you read your share of comics and snickered a bit at Wonder Woman. You have to feel sorry for the author who created her back in the '40s and didn't foresee how modern audiences would react to a heroine who fought evil by tying people up with a lasso, eh?

Yes, well... and more here and here.

(I still think the 'lie detector' is one of the most pernicious pieces of junk science to come out of the 20th century, and I'm not a great believer in utopian theories, but anybody who can negotiate a royalties deal like that can't be totally naive...)
