You can be a superhero, just like Batman and Robin

“
POW!” “ZAM!” “PUNCH!” “KICK!” — “Holy Guacamole Batman! Are those our shoes?”
Are you having a hard time growing up? I think that we all have that syndrome to some extent. All you’d need to complete that 60s superhero look are tights and a cape!… (Hmmm… Thinking… maybe I will….)
Brass Monki did the DC Comics-loving sneaker enthusiasts a solid with theses awesome Batman and Robin-themed kicks.
Currently, the superhero shoes are just a prototype, but hopefully they’ll be made available soon. Read more about this on Alltop.com or on Neatorama.
and if you think this is interesting, you should see the Bacon air freshener! Yes, I did say air freshener and bacon in the same sentence!
Hottest Golfer in Calif! – Golf bogey sends sparks flying… literally!

Burning up the golf score card!
Over the weekend, a golfer’s routine swing in the rough at the Shady Canyon Golf Course in Irvine, Calif., struck a rock. Not so different from the way you play, right? Only this time, the impact caused a spark, and the spark set off a blaze that eventually covered 25 acres, according to the Steven Buck, General Manager of Shady Canyon Golf Course, and required the efforts of 150 Orange County firefighters, writes the Associated Press.
Wow. And I felt bad the time I shanked a ball through the window of a house too close to the fairway. That was nothing compared to this!
The golfer’s name is being withheld, which is probably for the best, and no charges are going to be filed. Fortunately, it all could have been much worse. As it was, the blaze required both helicopters and on-the-ground crews.
The conditions were ripe for a blaze, with dry brush from a recent heat wave just waiting for the right spark. Like, say, one caused by metal on rock.

I came across this site the other day and just thought it great fun! This guy makes pancakes for his daughter and just has fun with it! It’s a great light-hearted website that says, “just trying to make some cool pancakes for my daughter.” See some photos below of these cool pancakes. (jimspancakes.com). Also, find the fan page of Jim’s Pancakes on Facebook.
Great Nerd Imagery: Infographic on ‘How Google Works’

have you ever wondered just how Google works? … Well, how it REALLY works (as far as the search engine algorithm, is actually googly top-secret), but how you get and use what you get and use from Google is stupendously laid out in the infographic below.
(I am thinking of using it as teaching tool for when I have to “explain” to people why their blog is not magically at the top of Google right away as soon as they hit publish to the web…. I could (and might) write a blog post about the mild annoyance o-mine!)

(Pictures) Inverted House

These are pictures of a large art project in Houston, Texas — An Inverted House! Was it a coffee house as well?
Unfortunately they had to demo that building. There is a new building for the coffee house, called “inversion” and on the glass wall they have placed a picture of the original structure. One person said, “it was sad, but necessary to growth.”
… And just for clarity, this inverted house is very different form the Renaissance Jousting and Fighting Troop, House Inverted, in Arizona, founded by Viscount Sir Gerald the Inverter of Kilkenny.

Not only can you have Dr. Seuss feet, you can have matching Dr. Seuss slippers with your children!
Posted from Alltop: “Tell me these aren’t the most adorable matching parent-child house slippers in the whole world. And the best part about them is because you only wear them inside (where no friends can see them), your kid is 100 times more likely to go along with it.”
Check them and other styles out at Swiss Miss.
