When trying hard, I can see it for a few secs. Then, it reverts to batman

Back when the Michael Keaton Batman movie came out, my mom thought the same thing. My 8 year old self found that hilarious.

I thought the Superman logo was fish.

That's exactly what many of us thought. I had to study it to see the bat.

I thought the same thing.

I was hoping for that- instead you're stuck inside a train with no windows. Far from dreams and imagination ;)

Thanks God, I'm not alone

That makes a lot more sense though and sounds awesome.

I heard some tunnel from NY to NJ was originally see-thru, but since too many cars stopped to look if not tease Sharks, it had to be redone to prevent cracks, traffic & accidents. I need to look that up. I never thought about doing such until now.

I asked my dad once as a kid, how they use gorrillas for warfare.

I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target[...] one the internet's oldest and best copy-pastas of all time

Years ago Mad Magazine had "illustrations" of things being said on the news. The one I remember was "Gorillas on the Plains of Jars." It was actually "guerillas on the "Plains of Jars" but it was illustrated with gorillas running over mason jars. That was about 1963 or so.
