Stan Lee is a Stinking Liar

OK, so just to get this out of the way: Yes, I saw Spider-Man 2, yes, it was awesome, yada yada yada. The movie explanation for why Dr. Octopus goes crazy makes a lot more sense than the comic book explanation (which was basically: "Hey, an explosion! I'm crazy now").

But this post is not about the awesomeness of a movie that you've already seen four times by now. No, this post is about what a stinking liar Spidey co-creator Stan Lee is.

Everybody who follows comics probably already knows Stan is a stinking liar. Take, for example, his tendency to retell the story of how he created Spider-Man...about twelve different ways. Some of which are physically impossible. And we all know the actual creation probably went something like this:

Stan's latest lie? I suppose he didn't expect me to remember when he said: "No, no I don't, I don't think I'm gonna have cameos in the sequels 'cause I think that gets to be a little much." Oh, is that so? Then who was that white-haired man saving someone from falling debris, eh, Mr. Lee? Or should I say...Mr. LIEBER??!?! I rest my case.
