A quickie
I once accidentally poured a bottle of poppers on to my girlfriend's face during the making of the beast with two backs.

What happened?
Did it give her orgasmic superpowers, or just irritate her eyes?

She thrashed around like a good 'un.

Isn't that stuff just battery acid with Sweetex?

It happened to me once
Felt like I ws going to die, for about 10 seconds. Heart pumping faster than Superman, face a deep shade of crimson... not pleasant.

Superman's heart rate is the same as a human's
except he hardly ever exerts himself physically (relatively), so really his heart pumps much slower. Also, he has control over his autonomic functions.

Sorry, I've recently quit correcting people's spelling mistakes on the internet, so I've started correcting statements about Superman. I know I have a problem.

My heart wasn't going the same rate as Superman's heart; it was going at the same speed as him (when he was flying or at least running really fast like in the first film with the train)
Assuming my heart can travel when going 200 bpm.

yup, now that I re-read, that's obviously what you meant
poppers was my first experience with drugs of convincing myself I was having a heart attack. I remember taking far too much and getting stuck with this bizarre joyless laughing for about an hour, which creeped everyone out at the time and I now think might have been a mild stroke. Is amyl nitrite illegal yet? Don't know how dangerous it actually is, but it seems odd that you can still buy it in dodgy newsagents when other, more benign drugs are now class A.
