Sorry to spam today, but I have just located what is possibly the greatest store IN THE WORLD.

Don't believe me? Check it out.

It's a Superhero Supply Store!. They sell "capery" and teleportation devices and grappling hooks!

The whole thing is the brainchild of Staggering Genius Dave Eggers, and it serves as a front (and a direct source of funding) for a creative writing and tutoring centre for kids and teens. You have to go through the store and enter the writing/tutoring centre via a swinging bookcase. HOW COOL IS THAT?

I'm sorry, I'm just a little transfixed by this whole thing. Now I want to hop a plane to New York just to shop here, and take the Superhero Oathe. (And also promise not to give any photos taken inside the store to supervillians who might be lurking nearby).

Go take a look at the original post - the photos are terrific. And...SUPERHERO SUPPLY STORE! Doooooodes!
