...course. He's mild-mannered (but extremely fit) Bruce Banner (Edward Norton, who bulks up to hulk proportions when he gets angry or excited, which is pretty frequently). The guy's so touchy, he's even afraid to have sex with his girlfriend, Betty (Liv Tyler) for fear of turning green, nasty and enormous. This figure has been lurking around the dimmer reaches of popular culture for decades - the sad result of the military-industrial complex screwing around with cell-poisoning gamma radiation, whatever that may be - without attaining more than second-level cult status...
Just before dawn, residents of a small village on Jolo Island, in the southern Philippines, were woken by footsteps and muffled hoofbeats. Peeking out in the dim light, they saw dozens of heavily armed men marching past their houses. One was on horseback.

For many practitioners, there's a fear that not only are the parents unaware of the situation but also they will be angered or upset by the information. More worrisome is how the news will make the child feel, particularly during the emotional storms and ego swings of adolescence...
...easy fear to hype, given how opaque these funds tend to be. But even the most conspiracy-minded find it hard to work themselves into a panic over Norway's Government Pension Fund-Global. That's not to say it's lacking in clout. With assets of $382 billion at the end of March, it's the world's second-largest sovereign wealth fund, trailing only the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, which weighs in at about $875 billion.
