I love doing David Letterman-type Top Ten lists. I was inspired by e_complexus' list.



Ten More Things To Be Learned from Mutant X
By Jane M


10. If you get some bad personal news and sneak out to take matters into your own hands without telling anyone, don't take a teammate's castigation seriously -- next week it'll be his/her turn to do the exact same thing.

9. When all else fails, start kicking people in the head.

8. Mason definitely got ripped off in the divorce settlement -- he got custody of all the ugly New-Mutants.

7. When you're cornered and outfought and trapped in a hopeless situation with a desperate need to contact the homebase or call a teammate for help, you're going to forget that you've got a friggin' cell-phone on your ring
finger.

6. Nothing says "inconspicuous" like a flashy convertible.

5. But a giant origami plane comes a close second.

4. Millions for state-of-the-art defenses around Sanctuary, not one penny for a half-assed armor-job on the Double Helix.

3. A woman older than 25 is over-the-hill, and a woman who casts a shadow is fat. (Okay, that's something I learned from *Hollywood*.)

2. The minute something goes wrong, you can save time by heading straight for the nearest abandoned warehouse for the final fight.

And the Number One Thing To Be Learned From Mutant X:

1. Just because two gorgeous young men run around together, shirtless or wearing International Male undergarments, drive a car with the license plate QAF, or grapple each other in a sweaty gladiatorial arena, doesn't
necessarily mean they're gay or something.
