Good news day for super villains
Today has been a good news day for super villains. I usually do all my link sharing over at Facebook because it's easier, but when a narrative emerges from the froth there's nothing quite like this old place.
In real estate news, South Korea has announced it will be building a Robot Land theme park.

The perfect cover for any tech-loving super villain. Why cower under a volcano or inside a submarine when you can hide in plain sight and enjoy the sunshine? And while you're waiting for Your Great Moment to arrive, you can make a bit of cash on the side charging admission. Kiddie Land doubles as a recruitment centre for Minions Anonymous. No-one will even notice the brightly coloured uniforms and lack of safety rails.
But if you're a traditionalist, perhaps a hidden mountain fortress under the Antarctic ice is more your style. Take a jumper!
In home security news a new training centre has opened for young sharks interested in a career in patrolling flooded tunnels. Once these keen students have acquired a taste for human flesh, they'll be collecting their diplomas and looking for jobs in the evil sector.
If you prefer your hazards smaller and pointer (and perhaps more on the psychological side) why not invest in a thousand or so piranahs? These feisty little finny friends have the frenzied attack thing down to a fine art. If your most dangerous opposite numbers are particularly fond of their toenails, this is what you'll need to keep those inconvenient secret agents away. Additional business opportunities are available in the fish foot spa industry. Put your evil R&D department on to solving the problems of the fish face lift, and you could make an honest fortune ("Madam, stick your face in this bucket of water for 20 minutes."..."Ah.")
In science news the accurate maps of the Moon you've all been waiting for are now available. Aim those giant lasers with confidence, folks!
And now for the weather. On Saturn. Be inspired; one day you too could wreak such destruction right here on planet Earth, if only you believe in yourself.
