I currently have two major projects in the works. One is to to get the [[Nuklear Age]] article up to some form of a finished product (its been there for almost a year now and it still isn't complete?! Forshame, mr Though, forshame). The other is a somewhat longer term project to create to create a series of Educational templates similar to the Babel template.
==Nuklear Age==
===The Battle at the Abandoned Warehouse===
===The Restaurant===
The first several issues of the book deal, either directly or indirectly, with Nuklear Man, Atomik Lad, and Angus' search for food. Though much less epic in scope that latter arcs, this section introduces most important characters and serves to establish their basic personalities. Opening with Nuklear Man's defeat of Mechanikill, a rogue military weapons platform, it is revealed that Nuklear Man has little to no knowledge of his past. He is left with little time to ponder this, however, as Atomik Lad appears and distracts him with the promise of food via coupon. These become forever lost in a series of events that introduce Angus and Dr. Menace. Noting a birthday card Nukie received from his unknown father, Atomik Lad suggests that it may be used to obtain a free cake at a local restaurant, to which the three super heroes depart for.
Once there, the three order the Daily Special (All-You-Can-Eat) only for John to discover that the original listed price was a left over from the day before and that the veritable smorgasbord of lobster that they had consumed was priced much higher and by the plate, resulting in bill that they could hardly afford to pay with ready cash or credit. The three are then forced to work off their meal, at which point Angus comes into conflict with his old work associate, the Steel Irishman, resulting in a battle of vertically-limited proportions. All the while Nukie, having been sent to clean the back of the restaurant, discovers that an old barrel of cheese has evolved into a highly complex society bent on world domination, which he soundly defeats.
Due to the destruction caused by Angus, all four of these superheroes are tossed out of the restaurant. In order to resolve the conflict between Angus and the Steel Irishman, they head to the Silo of Solitude, Nuklear Man and Atomik Lad's base of operations located in a nuclear wasteland.
===A Birthday Party and The Crushtacean===
===The Court Scene and Superion===
===Nihel and The Final "Joke"===
:One of the most twistedly entertaining parts of Nuklear Age is the ending. The first two-thirds of the novel set up the final third in a way that is difficult to forget. Clevinger refers to this as a "joke" because it is a "disruption of expectations", thus mirroring -- on a mechanical level -- the punchline of a joke. The "joke" is not meant to be funny, per se, but Clevinger claims that, too, as part of the joke.
==Education Template==
This project is not meant as a way of people bragging about their education, offering those with more greater weight in an argument. Rather, I hope that it will serve as a general resource so that people may find and contact varying levels of experts in a number of fields. Do you need to know if the journal [[Cell]] is a good resource? Someday you could just go look at the resident Wiki-Biologists with a PhD and ask them. Of course, by adding the template to one's page one would be agreeing to make one's knowledge open to others. That is why I did not include any education below University.
