I haven’t been posting lately on Blogzarro because I’ve been contributing to BuzzFeed. (Check it out, if you haven’t before. It’s a cool site.) Long story short: In just a few days, I’ve conquered the site and am their No. 1 poster. I have the Internet’s love of Black Widow cosplay and hate for Kim Kardashian to thank.

I have wasted entire days chasing the Tetris dragon: dry throat, stinging eyes, calloused thumbs. I dreamed of spinning blocks, impossible combinations, my brain stuck in a Tetris fever. Things got so bad that I had to delete the app from my iPod. I am not a gamer, but I do enjoy me Tetris. It was the only game I cared to play since my grade-school days. Until Angry Birds.

So I was excited, and concerned, to hear there’s a spinoff: Angry Birds Space. Will I be dreaming of birds and pigs in space now? The big addition to the game is gravitational fields, which, according to PC Magazine, “will influence both the trajectory of the birds themselves, as well as how they fly through space.” Great! That should add a few extra hours of wasteful game time to my life.

In a brilliant move, Finnish game developer Rovio got NASA flight engineer Don Pettit to demo the game 243 miles above the Earth, in the International Space Station. You got to love that!

Of course, the pigs in space bit is nothing new. Remember this?

It’s not every day you get a hand-written letter from the potential supreme Ultra-Lord of the universe. It’s even more rare when it’s positive.

Houston meteorologist Albert Ramon received the missive after visiting a local grade school — and impressing the hell out of a young boy named Flint. Flint, by the way, has very high aspirations. Here’s some of what he wrote:

Thank you for coming to our school and teaching us about the weather.

Some day when I become supreme Ultra-Lord of the universe I will not make you a slave, you will live in my 200 story castle where unicorn servants will feed you doughnuts off their horns. [Flint's rendition below]

Thank you again for teaching us about meteoroligy, you’re more awesome than a monkey wearing a tuxedo made out of bacon riding a cyborg unicorn with a lightsaber for the horn on the tip of a space shuttle closing in on Mars while ingulfed in flames.

That letter is more awesome than…actually I’ll have to get back to you on that. Let’s just say it’s pretty damn awesome.

A day after discovering the Slovak Batman, I stumbled upon the Brazilian Caped Crusader. Apparently dressing up like the Dark Knight and fighting crime is a big thing.

The difference here is that André Luiz Pinheiro isn’t just some vigilante nut. He’s a nut who was hired — yes, hired — by officials in Taubaté, Brazil to help “combat crimes such as murder and drug trafficking.” Yeah, things have gotten that bad in Brazil.

It kinda makes sense since Pinheiro, 50, is a retired soldier who dresses as the Caped Crusader for children’s birthdays. Kinda. I just hope he has more than balloon animals to defend himself.

How do you say “Holy bad idea, Batman” in Portugese?

Batman is real (real crazy?) and he lives in Slovakia.

Zoltan Kohari, a 26-year-old man who lives in an abandoned building without water, heat or electricity, wants to help police fight crime in some place called Dunajská Streda. He also wants to look creepy and Eastern European while doing it. (Neither of which, I think, he can help.)

Zoltan (in my opinion a pretty good superhero name in itself) has not gotten around to battling any baddies just yet, but he is said to “believe in justice.” Good for him! For now, the Slovak Batman helps his fellow residents however he can. (Probably by not killing them in their sleep.) In return, they give him food.
