today's rant: superheroes & bedbugs

the TV show i am currently binging on is "louie".  despite the allegation that he masturbates in front of female comedians, the show is funny as fuck.

i am a fan of the darwin awards.  a couple of months ago, i was fortunate to find a story and submit it for review by the site's moderators.  they thought it was worthy of an honorable mention, as the subject of the story is still alive.  i did a little research on the person in question, and it is quite interesting.  here is some backstory.  apparently, the person suffers from paranoia.  before the darwin incident, he was homeless and living in a rental car he stole from florida.  the bank foreclosed on his home and he maintains a blog and his facebook page using public wifi at stores and libraries.  in his posts, he is adamant that there is a conspiracy covering up the death of his friend, which he classifies as a murder.  now, getting to the darwin incident.  he spent so much time in the stolen rental car that he attracted bed bugs.  according to cops, a friend told him that alcohol would kill the bugs.  so, he doused the fabric of the car seats in rubbing alcohol, sat in the car, and lit up a cigarette.  FOOOSH!  he suffered 1st and 2nd degree burns and destroyed 3 cars, including the rental.  mental situation aside, you have to be a pretty humungo derp-de-derp to think that lighting up a drag was a good idea in that car.

my daughter likes to touch the TV screen and point at things.  i have to remind her "it's not a touch screen.  it's not an iphone."

i think it is very important to read comic books and show superhero cartoons to children.  aside from superpowers, a lot of superheroes are very smart.  please note, i am limiting this list to marvel superheroes as i do not follow any other comic universe.

the incredible hulk:  nuclear physicist
she-hulk:  lawyer
daredevil:  lawyer
iron man:  engineering genius, owns his own company
spider-man:  teacher, owns his own company
mr. fantastic:  scientist, smartest human in the marvel comic universe, though his daughter may surpass him
dr. strange:  neurosurgeon
thor (jane foster):  M.D.
professor x:  geneticist
ant-man:  created his own atomic particles
