The law according to Stan Lee? The Providence (R.I.) Journal (registration required) reports that Attorney General Patrick C. Lynch has decided to hang a quote from Stan Lee, of all people, outside his state office building. The infamous quote, "With great power comes great responsibility," will appear on a bronze plaque outside 150 S. Main St.:

"... Lynch's office has become a miniature Spider-Man museum. In one corner is a Spider-Man pillow -- for when his children visit. In another corner hangs a 'bad Hawaiian shirt' bearing a Spider-Man logo -- a present from his criminal division. And on one wall hangs a gift from Lt. Gov. Charles J. Fogarty -- a framed print that portrays Spider-Man swinging on a web, with a silhouette of the State House in the background and the words 'Remember, Patrick . . . with great power comes great responsibility.'

"'Now it's a running joke,' Lynch said, 'because everyone knows I use this.'"
