No joke, so I am an avid fan of the tv series Smallville. The episode arc is titled 'ABSOLUTE JUSTICE' Episode Summary - A man named Sylvester asks Chloe for help but ends up getting attacked and killed. Clark is led to the former headquarters of the Justice Society of America where he meets up with Dr. Fate, Hawkman, and Stargirl. Now this is in the JSA hq, (in the 2nd episode) while everyone is in the museum scene, Chloe asks Stargirl if they have a computer, Starfirl takes her to a non descript table/desk and lo and behold, revealed is a COMMODORE 64 breadbox..... yay commodore!!!!  read more »
