Father Sews Wonder Woman Costume For Daughter So She Can Be Princess and Superhero

When invited to a birthday party whose theme required that the boys dress as superheroes and the girls as princesses, dad Jay C. Batzner came up with an awesome compromise that simultaneously stomped on the face of gender normativity and made his daughter happy. Wonder Woman, both a princess and a superhero, had long been Daria’s favorite hero, so he sewed her this costume. We think this might be one of those steps to raising kickass daughters.

I love to look at books that have been arranged by color, but I could never do it to my own collection. I’m too much of an alphabetical-by-author, in-order-of-publication organizational freak.

A friend of hers posted this to my sister’s Facebook wall last night, and together we watched it four or five times, laughing like idiots the entire time.

Nicolas Cage plays good sorcerer Balthazar, who meets a young Dave — played here by Jake Cherry and, when he grows up, Jay Baruchel — and tells him he’s going to one day become a very important sorcerer. But after Balthazar leaves him alone for a few minutes, Dave releases evil sorcerer Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina). When Dave grows up, Balthazar turns to him to help him defeat Maxim.

Boyfriend and I saw a preview for this a couple of weeks ago when we went to see Toy Story 3, and I have to say, I’m really looking forward to seeing The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, more so than I thought when I heard they were making a movie based on that scene with Mickey and the brooms from Fantasia. And as for the adorable little metal dragon? I want one.

Romeo and Juliet would have ended MUCH differently if Juliet had a Sassy Gay Friend.

As part of World Environment Day, Pittsburgh breaks the world record for Largest Raft of Canoes/Kayaks.

The official count not yet released - but an estimated 1,800 took part in the event.

Kayakers launched their boats from downtown and formed a raft near Point State Park. Once arranged, each pulled up his or her paddle and held onto an adjacent boat for 30 seconds—long enough to satisfy the record’s time requirement.

See everyone get completely drenched at 0:36.
