Superman drilling THRU the Earth on COTOC = Kelly laughing hysterically about how to make instant volcanoes that will devastate both Metropolis and whatever the heck the other city was on the 'other' side of the globe (in the middle of the Indian Ocean? Huh??)!! Hello! Magma!! Quickest route of escape!! BOOM! *facepalms*
Maybe Tanzoria and whatever the other country are are stand ins for India and Pakistan. That would be close to the other side of the world.
This talk of Clark as globe-trotter reminds me of one of my favorite lines from the pilot, when he comes back with the Chinese food from Shanghai Lois says "That was quick"
Clark says "I took a short cut".
