Move over Natalie Portman, THOR is mine!

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27560) • Philippines 14 May 11

Okay, okay, Natalie, don't get me wrong, but THOR is mine. I had claimed him long ago, as my club gripping mighty god of thunder hero, all clad in nothing but a loincloth. True, I enjoyed Casper, Betty Boop, Gumby, Pop-eye, and...

Nickfyoung Maybe it is a bit like going to sleep and then waking again. When you wake in the morning you are not sure how long you have slept till you check the clock. So you could be dead for a very long time, till the resurrection, and it would still feel the same as...
