Australia just broke the World Record for...

Having the most amount of people dressed up as Superheroes in one place, a title previously held by the US.

That's an article about the attempt before it happened, as it is currently still underway, but I just saw live on TV that we have broken it. Yep, they actually show that kind of thing live on TV here. :P

There was some footage of the crowd, it was mainly Batman and Supermans, although I was pleasantly surprised to see a little Hit-Girl in the crowd.

I don't mind the Robin Hood jokes, although I just wish there was some famous female archer in history that I could be referred to as instead.

Or you know, there's always...

Interesting read. I think a film about these women, in this time period would be awesome.
