Somebody has been watching too much Kick-Ass

Vigilante justice has come to Seattle, and the caped crusaders drive a Kia.

Seattle police say a group of self-described superheroes have been patrolling the streets at night trying to save people from crime. They call themselves the Rain City Superhero Movement and say they're part of a nationwide movement of real-life crime fighters.

The national website -- cited in a police bulletin sent to Seattle officers Wednesday -- states "a Real Life Superhero is whoever chooses to embody the values presented in super heroic comic books, not only by donning a mask/costume, but also performing good deeds for the communitarian place whom he inhabits."

Police say the "costume-wearing complainants" are lucky they haven't been hurt.

In one instance, police say a caped crusader dressed in black was nearly shot when he came running out of a dark park. In another case, a witness on Capitol Hill saw the crusaders wearing ski masks in a car parked at a Shell station and thought they were going to rob the place.

Police got the license plate and found those masked characters drove a Kia Fate registered to one of the character's godmothers, department staff said. She told police her godson goes around doing good deeds.

Scientist explains the recent trend of mass bird deaths.
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/...s-science/

The short explanation: Birds get spooked by fireworks, fly lower than usual at night , collide with tress and other obstacles due to poor light conditions and lack of stars for navigation, and die. Also, bird population in affected areas is over a million typically, so a couple of thousand deaths is not going to impact them.

Reason for hype: Dumbass media

Ganda daw ng bagong (third-hand) Porsche ni P-Noy ah.

[NiX]

Hahah wtf so what if PNoy wanted to buy a car. Taena lahat na lang pinapakialaman sa kanya. There are more important things to focus on. =/

[Twin-Skies]

Two details:

1. He traded in his older car to get that one.
2. As Fox already noted, it's a third-hand Porsche.
3. Porsches last for decades, unlike several of the POS vehicles I've seen that fall apart after barely ten years.

[Fox]

Random question - does anyone know what Porsche model the guy's new ride is?

[Grim]

A bus exploded a while ago on Buendia Ave, northbound. I was Makati Avenue when the firetrucks and ambulances went flying past.



More pictures below the fold.

No released cause of explosion yet, but the latest is that there are 2 dead and 17 injured.

[NiX]

The hell? =/

[Fox]

Yeah, they said it was bomb. I take a nap and wake up to find out that this is what everyone's been talking about for the past few hours.
