A true hero: Thai Spiderman

Reading this title, you'd probably think this was just a gag article, but this story is fo' reals -- a Thai Firefighter dressed up as Spiderman in order to help a distressed Autistic child off of a ledge.

I have a very deep respect for anyone who's willing to help people, especially in creative ways.  Alongside that, I'm a big fan of those who assist the mentally disabled.

Also,  SPIDERMAN.

Go to the link -- the BBC could use a little more global attention anyway -- and read the story.  Check out the picture.  Spiderman climbs up and hands you some juice?  Best effin' day ever.

    It is sort of an odd thing to have lying around. Give it up to those firefighters, though, as they're SUPER-prepared. Like some sort of space mutant Boy Scout troop.

    He also happens to be a huge Tobey Maguire fan and owns the horse used in Seabiscuit and the only known working power glove.

    "I love the power glove. It's so bad"
