Super Heroes Super Powers Diagram

Unless you’re some kind of nerd who has stayed way too long in the cave and waited for your mum to clean your room, you problaby are no hardcore comics or superhero geek either. You might have watched most of Michael Bay’s recent productions and even found the first X-Men movie, as well as Wolverine Origins, awesome but chances that you know who has what power are… nihil.

Don’t fear though! Although we are not nerds ourselves, we do know how the internet works and generally manage it to find the nice small jewels out there on the main world wide web. A free service for our readers!

Today you will need a little bit more time for things though because this is about all the super powers the modern day super heroes have. In one diagram. An infographic even. It will take you a while to discover everything. Believe me. It.will.

It’s Like Crack in a Post-Tetris Era

Not that I know what crack tastes like or does to one other than thinking that Ozzie Osbourne would be the person who has invented crack, just by mixing drugs together on one of his many regular evenings in front of the burning fire place.

I do know do how many hours of life Tetris has taken and if this era weren’t known for being a 5 minutes, what’s the next big thing now this would be the nemesis of Desktop Tower Defence or Plants vs. Zombies for those who love pwetty colours.

If you have 5 minutes to waste, don’t go here because soon you’ll be saying ‘Damn, I was only go to play this for 5′!

I warned you.

This One Has Got Me, I Just Don’t Know How or Whether That’s Good

There was a time, not that long ago, when I actively published here and that of course did include Star Wars nerdery. Now most of that stuff has shifted to ForeverGeek and most of the time it’s even not me who manages the Star Wars drools and sexism over there. Times change.

And then there were bathing suits.

And I got thinking.

First I thought “W000t!”

Then I thought, “What if some McDonalds loving SAHM fancied this.

I don’t think I’m going to hit the beach today.

Art in Your Coffee

I know there are fans of coffee art among the frankylicious readers, so I thought I might as well post a link to it here. Even though I would not want to wait or have a barista make a lovely piece of art I would ruin by stirring it up. No, I never would waste any of the guests’ time layering flavoured mocchas. Anyway, here you go : Art in My Coffee.

Experiment: Living Without Cell Phone

I am a fan of shiny gadgets. Actually, I like everything shiny except lip gloss. Recently, after more than a year with an Apple iPhone 3G I decided it were time to upgrade my phone.

Then the difficulty of life started: what upgrade to get? How will I be able to top the experience of the iPhone? There certainly can not be a better smartphone, user experience. Do I really want an iPhone 3GS? Actually I do want to wait for the NEXT iPhone, without then having to break the bank to get that model.

I started thinking and realised that 98% of my communication is done online. I am reachable by almost any online protocol, whether email, IM, Skype or Google Wave. My decision was helped by the fact that I had already sold my iPhone before even having shortlisted other models.

Here I am now, in my second day without mobile phone. Will I survive it? Read the complete journal here or follow the last 10 updates in the sidebar, complete with spontaneous status updates related to living without phone, a life without mobile phone in 2009.

Usain Bolt flies… on the track

For those who have missed it because they were drinking out while waiting for a Top Gear replay, Usain Bolt once more broke the 100m World Record: 9″58. Looking at his last 15m I would say that there’s room for improvement and he can go faster than 9″5. Can the human body though?
Here’s the video in HD (until Youtube or RAI pull the content).

Watch Usain Bolt’s appearance on Top Gear after the jump.

In Sweden Swedish women can now hang out at the pool… with their breasts out

Probably this might be a cure for cancer. Or not. Who cares anyway?
This news just is too awesome to not mention:

…some on the council had lobbied for wording which would have required women to keep their nipples covered, but Forsberg explained that attempting to enforce such a rule would have been too complicated. “We don’t define what bathing suits men should wear so it doesn’t make much sense to do it for women. And besides, it’s not unusual for men to have large breasts that resemble women’s breasts,” he said.

swedish-boobs

I think we men got away cheaply there, imagine they would have told us to wear a bra! But yes, I entirely agree with the reasoning. I don’t have large breasts though.
