I don't think I'd want to play poker with Bill Henderson. If he can pick up tells that quickly, he'd take all my money in a hurry and probably my shoes as a bonus.

Perhaps the authorities can convince Asabi to 'assist' Clark and Lois in switching bodies. At least then they wouldn't have all the gender confusion issues (although Lois seems to be adjusting well, despite feeling breezes in places she'd never even had before).

I wonder if something of Superman's essence didn't get trapped in the body Lois is in. She noted that she could see individual dust motes floating in the sunlight coming through the window, and she also felt much better than she ever had. Of course, some of that might be the difference between a larger male body grown for physical perfection and her own, which was very nice but not perfect.

And Lola's still around. Hmm. I wonder if Lex lied to her about her limited life span? Maybe something can be worked out with Mamba and Asabi, like growing cloned bodies of Clark and Lois and sliding them back into the new bodies? It's a thought.

Very interesting premise, Dandello, and very good extrapolation so far. I wonder if Martha will have any opportunity to help Clark - er - 'adjust' to the peculiarities of a female body before this whole situation gets resolved.

Although that might be as much fun as seeing Lois get used to a male body.

I just thought of something. Lois doesn't seem to be suffering any more effects of the amnesia or brain trauma she'd had. It appears that her (for want of a better word) soul and mind have been placed in this new body and the old injuries aren't affecting it. Interesting metaphysical twist.

More soon, I hope.
