BANGKOK (AFP) – A Thai fireman turned superhero when he dressed up as comic-book character Spider-Man to coax a frightened eight-year-old from a balcony, police said Tuesday.
Teachers at a special needs school in Bangkok alerted authorities on Monday when an autistic pupil, scared of attending his first day at school, sat out on the third-floor ledge and refused to come inside, a police sergeant told AFP.
Despite teachers' efforts to beckon the boy inside, he refused to budge until his mother mentioned her son's love of superheroes, prompting fireman Sonchai Yoosabai to take a novel approach to the problem.
The rescuer dashed back to his fire station and made a quick change into a Spider-Man costume before returning to the boy, he said.
"I told him Spider-Man is here to rescue you, no monsters are going to attack you and I told him to walk slowly towards me as running could be dangerous," Somchai told local television.
The young boy immediately stood up and walked into his rescuer's arms, police said.
Somchai said he keeps the Spider-Man costume and an outfit of Japanese television character Ultraman at the station in order to liven up school fire drills.

The hot water in my house is not working. In order to avoid being the smelly kid at school I had to wash myself with a tub full of hot water from a kettle. I've never felt more like someone in a refugee camp.

Mickey Rourke spilled blood in his latest movie role as a wrestler - by deliberately cutting himself with a blade during a fight scene. The Angel Heart star taped a razor blade to his wrist and sliced his face as the cameras rolled, to make his part in upcoming film The Wrestler more realistic. His co-star Wass Stevens tells the New York Daily News that Rourke took the drastic action after hearing how real-life fighters sometimes faked injury - to the delight of fans watching. Wass says, "So Mickey taped a blade to his forearm, and when the time was right, sliced his forehead."
Let me just say that I thought Mickey Rourke was Mickey Rooney, which led me to have the most perplexed looks on my face I think I'll ever have.

My moms uncle was recently put in a nursing home because of his Alzheimers, his room at his home he'd lived in since childhood was unnavgable because of all of the towers of books he had laying around. His collection was probably the closest I've ever seen to a personal library. (if i haven't embellished the fact enough i will be straight forward with you and say that he has easily over 1,000 books) His sister wants to move out of the house now and is getting rid of all of these books. My mom has had boxes of them in her car for the past few weeks, and has told me i can keep ten. Which really isn't as easy as it sounds, especially not knowing how often i'll be able to make selections. Also my uncle was a like uber polyglot before he got sick, so amongst the books in my moms car are dozens of foreign language guides. I really wish I could keep them all. He has instructional guides, grammar books, and dictionaries for Swedish, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Gaelic, Persian, Swahili, Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, Finnish, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Czech, Russian, Japanese, Thai, Romanian, Polish, Greek, and this Mali language called Mam. And those are just the ones I can list off the top of my head. This is a bigger dilemma than any Nelly ever sung of. Considering a) how indecisive i am, b) how much of a pack rat I am, c) how sentimental I am, I really am considering stashing a box of books somewhere until I move out.
(other notable finds that I am definitely keeping are a history of swearing, a book on the history of wine, this huge dictionary for polyglots, and this Virgil book).
All the books I don't pick out are going to the library, but even though that seems like a charitable donation i am kind of paranoid they're just going to be sold and thrown out.
If anyone would like any books on any particular language, or if theres any particular type of book you'd like me to keep an eye out for let me know, these books go way back to the 1920s too.

Nye Requests Restraining Order Against Former Fiancee
 TV star Bill Nye has requested a restraining order against his former fiancee after she allegedly tried to poison him. Nye, also known as Bill Nye, The Science Guy, sought the order in a Los Angeles court on September 4, after spotting his ex, Blair Tindal, dressed in black and acting suspiciously near his home. The order would prevent Tindal from coming near his California house and contacting him. The legal papers filed state Tindal "emerged from my backyard... carrying two plastic bottles filled with some sort of solvent. Apparently she was trying to poison my plants including some vegetable(s). She fled on foot and then a car sped away from the scene." Tindal had driven by his house twice in the previous three weeks. Nye also complained in an abuse report that Tindal "left a coffee pot on my porch" on August 16. However, Tindal filed a response on November 13, disagreeing with the terms of the restraining order. A hearing has been set for December 20.
