Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 137
Summary: Lex Luthor contemplates his condition.
When Lex Luthor stole those forty cakes, how could he know they had been bugged? How could he know someone had put listening devices in them? Superman had caught him and put him here. Lex hated Superman.
Lex suspected Batman had given Superman the bugs. Lex hated Batman too.
Lex's mattress was also bugged. His mattress had many small insects in it.
Lex hit the mattress with his fist. "I am so bugged!" he said. "I am so annoyed!"
Lex's cell-mate, Bluto, looked at him. "Did you say you were buggered?" he asked. "Did you say you were--"
"--No, no. I did not," said Lex hastily. He said it quickly, so he would not hear the end of Bluto's sentence.
Lex hated being in jail. He hated being in places with bars on the windows and doors.

Basically the Superdictionary is a children's dictionary published in the 1970s using DC heroes and villains to define words. Which all sounds reasonable until you see the actual definitions, which are totally insane. The most famous is perhaps the definition of forty:
Then there's Superdictionary's Batman:
And, uh...
Yeah. Superdictionary rocks. :)

Just think how freaky would it be to rewrite one of your fics Superdictionary style - the mind boggles! ;)
