   The sad part is, with education being what it is, no one remembers how to do long division anymore. I was in high school in ‘93 and didn’t have a calculator in one math class. So out came some scrap paper and I quickly jotted down a long division equation to do my work. When I looked up, the 6 kids sitting around me were all staring at me oddly. One leaned over and asked what I was doing, so I told him.

   “Where’d you learn to do that?” is what he asked me. (This was a Grade 11 Math class.)

   You have no idea how difficult it was to keep from beating my head on my desk in frustration.

   I had read one of the comics (I can’t remember how long ago. Many, many years…) that told the story of Superman’s costume. Ma Kent unraveled the 3 blankets (blue, red, & yellow) that the baby was wrapped in in the rocket and wove (or knit) the whole suit from the ground up, having Clark cut the threads with his heat vision when needed. And the whole thing stretched over the years from Superboy to Superman.

   I’ve never seen any other explanation for the origin of the suit so far.
