Clark: That explains how her message mysteriously appeared in Swann's journal. She sent it to him, hoping that I'd read it. Chloe: It sounds more like a Hail Mary pass. Last chance? Clark, if she sent those messages to Swann and the Fortress that means Kara's desperate to get your attention. Madhulk Joined on Mon, Dec 17 2007 Bulgaria Senior Member 3,177 THE MAN OF STEEL

	Delmobile  +  738298 Tue, 19 May 09 11:45 PM Last, and desperate, chance, one without a big chance of succeeding. An American football expression. Sometimes when the buzzer is about to blow ending a football game (or ending the first half) if the losing team is in possession of the ball, their quarterback will throw a high, long pass deep into the opposing teams' territory, on the very slim chance that someone will be in a position to catch it and run it in for a touchdown. Such plays are very dramatic when they succeed.

	Delmobile  +  738302 Tue, 19 May 09 11:49 PM I'm sorry - in my eagerness to find an appropriate video I neglected to explain the term itself. Not sure who came up with it first, but the idea is that the player says a quick "Hail Mary" prayer as he throws the ball. "Hail Mary," or "Ave Maria," is a well-known prayer said by Roman Catholics, so the expression might have had its start at a Catholic college or university with a big football program, such as Notre Dame University.

	Delmobile  +  739362 Wed, 20 May 09 12:44 PM It was my pleasure. I loved the fact that a football play twenty-five years old could still make my heart beat faster :) The expression "Hail Mary pass" seems to be in wide use these days. I'm betting you see it somewhere else in the next couple of days. Delmobile Football, Sports
