Via Wondermark comes this comic about the perils of superpowers.

How do you know when you have a superpower? I’d imagine you probably need someone to tell you. I’m pretty much a narcissist so I assume I must have one, but I don’t know which. I was hoping invisibility, but when I went into the women’s locker room, there was definitely yelling and pummeling. Then again, maybe I just lose invisibility when vigorously masturbating and licking my lips. These things are a delicate balance, for sure.

Escalators provide super powers

I try to get comics I haven’t heard of in this Comic of the Day slot and here’s one I’ve never seen before. Via The Warehouse comes this one.

Maybe Batman should be a bit less judgmental. These superheroes always think they’re so great with their fancy cars and capes and attractive women who are blissfully retarded enough to not see the fact that the man in their life fights crime for like 8 hours a day. I guess I’m just a little bitter that my superhero alter ego Precum Man didn’t take off. You’d be surprised at how difficult it is to make villains slip and fall on an area specifically designed to make them take a topple.

9 year-old girl has her twin in her stomach

Twins are kind of creepy in general. It’d bother me to have a carbon copy of myself out there in the world, probably because it would create like a black hole of awesome that would deprive part of the world of any additional awesomeness lest the world collapse on itself. Where was I? Oh yeah, some little girl had her undeveloped twin in her stomach.

A 9-year-old girl who went to hospital in central Greece suffering from stomach pains was found to be carrying her embryonic twin, doctors said Thursday.

Doctors at Larissa General Hospital examined the girl and surgically removed a growth they later discovered was an embryo more than two inches long.

“They could see on the right side that her belly was swollen, but they couldn’t suspect that this tumor would hide an embryo,” hospital director Iakovos Brouskelis said.

Andreas Markou, head of the hospital’s pediatric department, said the embryo was a formed fetus with a head, hair and eyes, but no brain or umbilical cord.

I kind of always assumed every twin secretly wants to kill their counterpart and go “THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE” so I’m not really surprised by this. I assume the surviving twin would become some sort of Highlander, all-powerful and potentially immortal.

Whatever though this isn’t really news. Not only because this happens in one out of every 500k live births, but also because like, who hasn’t had an undeveloped fetus in their stomach? I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t eat an aborted fetus a day. Probably much less unstoppable, I’d presume.
