See, I saw it as more of a Multiple Earths thing...

Four-armed evil Grimace being an ally of Ultra-Man, Owlman, Superwoman in the antimatter universe... Earth-3, I think it was.

Good Grimace probably... with his cartoonishness, not even being from Earth-1 but probably from the Justice Society's kinder simpler Earth-2 or... even Shazam's Earth-S?

Earth-S is possible, but I vote Earth-C. And Earth-3 was the one with the Crime Syndicate, but it wasn't made of antimatter. The antimatter universe was Qward.

Classically, yes, Qward is in the "anti-matter universe"... but there have been multiple times when Earth-3 was called "The Anti-Matter Universe". Hell, there were times it was called Earth-2. Times pretty much when the editors weren't paying attention or were confused by the whole "DC Continuity is Completely Screwed" thing, sure... but times nonetheless.

(How have I ever had sex?)

EDIT:

Wikipedia (that bastion of truthiness, of course) seems to back me up.

It appears that after the Crisis, creators who wanted to have The Crime Syndicate of America in their stories without directly denying the Crisis... putting the former "Earth-3" villians in an "anti-matter universe" that somehow didn't violate the Crisis because, uh, it didn't have a "number". It was "anti-matter."

Later retcons seem to have conflated the idea, putting both the Qward weaponers AND the Earth-3 villians in the same "anti-matter" universe.

Discovery of the evening:

Truthy or no, wikipedia has pretty good coverage of college-level abstract math.

[Drastic Action]

Also, wikipedia has very extensive coverage of the term camel-toe.

It has everything.  It is like it's own micro-internet.

Unfortunately, though, it currently lacks an entry for the term 'micro-internet'. If there was an entry, the text need only consist of one phrase: look around you.

I don't need Wikipedia for this one because I am a colossal comics dork. Grant Morrison specifically wanted to revive the Crime Syndicate post-Zero Hour (he loves the Syndicate and had done it before in Animal Man, in a non-permanent way) and so wrote a Justice League story titled "Earth-Two" in which the new version of Qward/Earth-3 is revealed. Qward is a planet within this alternate universe occupying the position of the main universe's Oa (later revealed in Green Lantern as the new-canon source of Sinestro's yellow power ring), while the Earth is ruled by the Crime Syndicate of Amerika. In this story, it is the Justice League's Earth that is named Earth-Two, the existence of the two Earths having been discovered by the other world's Lex Luthor.

However, Earth-3 has never been made of antimatter and called Earth-3 at the same time. Except for a very, very short time during the Crisis, and that wasn't so much "made of" as "forcibly filled with".

Now I can't even remember if the Fry Guys used to steal french fries or if they just really really like them like Cookie Monster.

I want to think they used to trick Ronald out of fries or at distract him into setting them down and wandering away but now I think it may be a false memory brought on my this thread.

They stole the shit out of some french fries.
"Keep your eyes on your fries" I believe was the saying.

Whoa, crazy.  I think it's a sign from god that you should either do more math or read more comics. 

I'ma play it safe and do both.
