What if Star Wars was Real?

By David

I love looking at vintage photos. I was looking through Cool Hunter and found a link to ifstarwarswasreal.com - a site that posts vintage photos blended with some good old Star Wars.

Now where the hell's Jar Jar?

Check out the website here.

Modern Day Superhero: Grandmother Fights off Six Burglars with her Handbag

By David

I first heard about this while watching CNN during my travels. Apparently, a 70-plus-year-old grandmother named Ann Timson fought off six sledgehammer wielding burglars in broad daylight. Only after a while of fighting did others come in and try to intervene.

There’s a The Telegraph article about it here, and also a Jezebel post here. Let us know if you find a video of it and we’ll post it up.

This got me thinking about the situation in Egypt. It takes a number of brave people to stand up for or against something, and, after setting an example, the world will follow.

Our world needs more superheroes. I recently went to Bangkok - it is a truly beautiful city with great people, but seeing child beggars and foreigners with child prostitutes makes me sad. Although I still lack any sort of courage to do something about it, I certainly hope that one day a number of brave people will.
