Planning on sprucing up your (Spider)man cave?

We discussed relationship hacks; now how about social-life kludges?

Here is the (literally) coolest one we’ve seen in a while.

As you know, BG is not a big fan of revenge. But this right here is some evil genius.

This, my friends, is what Tumblr was made for: Hot Guys Reading Books. (BG has a friend who had to break up with someone when he discovered the only books she read were her own dream journals.) Gotta say, when it comes to relationships, reading is fundamental.

Now how about Hot Guys Buying Cheese?

Have you ever wanted to rewrite your relationship as a 1950s 3D movie? No? Well, you’ll forgive BG that labored (non)sequitur when you see this*:

* An aside from our tipster: “It’s another good reminder just how fully Lucas paid homage to the genre.”

Via FOBG Ben Winters, author of (among many other things) Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters:

If you think hot monkey love comes easily to primates, think again. Chimps–whose human-like use of an array of tools has long been known to primatologists–have been observed in the field using leaves in sort of a strip tease to attract sex partners.

What are the implications for Breakup Girl readers? Well, no implications, really, just an excuse to run a blog post about chimps. And this goofball graphic.

Seattle: no longer sonic, but still pretty super. Humanity FTW!

Thursday was shaping up to be just another school day for 13-year-old Erik Martin, but then something extraordinary happened: Spider-Man called.

Spider-Man happens to be one of the few people who knows that Erik, too, has a secret identity — he’s Electron Boy, a superhero who fights the powers of evil with light.

And Spider-Man needed Erik’s help.

Erik, who is living with liver cancer, has always wanted to be a superhero. On Thursday, the regional chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation granted him that wish with an elaborate event that involved hundreds of volunteers in Bellevue and Seattle.

The local chapter, which serves four states, grants more than 300 wishes every year to children with life-threatening medical conditions, but only a few of them involve so many participants.

Pulling off a wish like this one required a big story, and a lot of heart. And so, with a note of panic in his voice, Spider-Man explained the dilemma: “Dr. Dark” and “Blackout Boy” had imprisoned the Seattle Sounders in a locker room at Qwest Field. Only Electron Boy could free them.

As if I even have to tell you to click here to read [& weep over] the rest.

(And now can Electron Boy save us from evil corporate stadium names? Just saying.)
