Why Did The Idiot Go Looking For Superman And What Did He Find?

The Idiot had a vision, prompted by either Friedrich Nietzsche or Buddha, that he should conduct a quest to find Superman.

Here’s what happened:

The vision to find Superman was confirmed when The Idiot witnessed a double sunrise in Redding, California.

The Idiot started his search for Superman on Lois Lane (she was the award-winning journalist for the Daily Planet and the main squeeze of both Superman and his alter-ego Clark Kent) above the Pacific Ocean in Westhaven-Moonstone, California.

The Idiot was on a similar superman quest when he spent twenty years walking around the Mediterranean Sea and met Athena —the Greek goddess and The Idiot’s superwomanish mentor in The Idiot and the Odyssey trilogy of travel narratives — in Paestum, Italy.

The Idiot was on a similar superman quest was when he spent twenty years walking around the Mediterranean Sea and met Alexander the Great — the conquering Greek supermanish king who was The Idiot’s guide in The Idiot and the Odyssey III: Twenty Years Walking the Mediterranean. — in Alexandria, Egypt.

The Idiot wore the closest thing he had to a Superman shirt when he began his latest quest in Redding, CA, and consulted his grade school classmate, pilot Ron Lim, about where to fly first.

The Idiot ended a superman quest on the Mediterranean Sea when he  was crowned The Idiot Emperor of Carthage, Lord of Many Domains, in Tunisia at the conclusion of The Idiot and the Odyssey III: Twenty Years Walking the Mediterranean.
