Seven Mistakes Superheroines Make

1. Do fight demons. Don't fight only inner demons.
2. Do play well with others. Don't shun human society.
3. Do exhibit self-control. Don't exhibit mental disorders.
4. Do wear trendy clothes. Don't wear fetish clothes.
5. Do embrace girl power. Don't cling to man hatred.
6. Do help hapless men. Don't try to kill your boyfriend.
7. Do toss off witty remarks. Don't look perpetually sullen.

"Successful heroines defy everyday restraints: They cheat gravity, physically overpower men, and reflect bullets with silver bracelets. The last thing women want to see is Supergirl whining about her boss, suffering through a mid-life career crisis, and being served divorce papers by Superman."

Survival of the southpaws

"Schizophrenia, alcoholism, dyslexia, Crohn's disease and mental disabilities. These are just some of the conditions more likely to afflict the left-handed than the right-handed... But take heart, southpaws. You might not be as fit as your right-handed counterparts, but being unusual helps keep you in the evolutionary race."

This, on the other hand, is what probably more or less what it looked like when Peter was in a Stage Door Manor production at age 14:





There's something so wonderful and goofy and endearing about kids acting adult roles.
