Meet the Slovak Batman

Posted: 13 Mar 2012 02:20 PM PDT

The Slovak town of Dunajska Streda has its own local superhero, Zoltan Kohari. Zoltan is a 26-year-old guy living in a derelict house without heat, water and electricity. He wanted to make a difference in his hometown so he equipped himself with an all-leather Batman suit and some homemade gadgets and started patrolling the streets.

Although he doesn't fight criminals, he waters people's plants, trims various lawns, helps to clean up the local area by picking up trash and he also calls the police whenever he sees anything suspicious in the neighborhood. Local dwellers like Zoltan and sometimes give him food in return for his efforts.

These portraits of exotic dancers of the 19th century probably appeared scandalous at one time, but they are SFW. What is fascinating is that, outside of wearing corsets, these professional exotic dancers display the size and shape of average women who would never be offered a professional position in entertainment today.

This cockatoo sure loves chocolate. When I saw this picture, no joke, laughed so hard I started crying. Cause the little bird is all like, "Forget it. I'm going to drink some damn chocolate from the fountain like a boss."
