If I could choose a super power, I would pick the ability to erase people's memory. And lucky for me, I've just been granted a free wish from The Magic Taco. Get ready, everyone. Pew! Done! Whew, now we never have to write a new post again. Check out these "new" links we prepared for you today:

Fans wear cosplay, superhero and manga costumes at London Comic Con 2012

These are not the planetary hallucinations you will get after consuming large amounts of single-malt scotch.

If I could choose a super power, I would pick the ability to erase people's memory... Wait, was that a mirror in front of me? Woops.
