Childish Superpowers
Ran across Samuel Arbesman’s “What to do if your child has superpowers – A FAQ for concerned parents” the other day and thought it was a hoot:
An excerpt:Q. My child can control the weather and summon tornadoes at a moment’s notice. This makes discipline a challenge.
A. Discipline of a super-powered child is a complex issue. First, try to explore the limits of his or her powers, and use some common sense. Can your child control magnetic fields from across a room? If so, place all knives in the attic. Has your toddler ever ensnared you in spider-webbing that can only be removed with great effort? Explain (sternly) that superpowers are a “sometimes†behavior.
Hee-hee!

5 Comic Superheroes Who Made a Real-World Difference
mental_floss Blog » 5 Comic Superheroes Who Made a Real-World Difference.
In the 1930s, America was mired in the Great Depression, and the
government was looking for a way to promote iron-rich spinach as a meat
substitute. To help spread the word, they hired one of America’s
favorite celebrities,
Popeye the Sailor Man. It was a smart plan. In all of the comic strips
to that point, Popeye’s superhuman strength had never been explained.
But with the government’s campaign in place, Popeye was suddenly more
than willing to share the secret to his strength. Sure enough, soon
after Popeye took up spinach, American sales of the mighty veggie
increased by one-third. Better still, American children rated it their
third favorite food, right after turkey and ice cream.Enjoy!
