     This might be considered trivia-trivia,but I was about 8 or 9
when Mr. Terrific was on (for some reason I never watched Captain Nice).
Someone said that Mr. Terrific did'nt know how long his energy pills would work.
I seem to remember that there was a definite time limit on his pills.
A small pill worked for fifteen minutes and a large one for an hour.
Also, even with the pill, he could'nt fly without his cape.

     (This is much more fascinating then trying to write a god-damn thesis!)
