Do you remember the story of Mike Meyer, a 48-year old mentally disabled man from Illinois, who had his vast collection of Superman comics and memorabilia returned to him after it was stolen by a former coworker? The comics community rallied full force in support of Meyer after the theft was reported and went out of their way to help him replace the stolen items, eventually sending in enough replacement items to almost double his original collection.
“I have never felt so much love in my life; I no longer feel like the Frankenstein monster. I feel that people understand me now, for the first time in my life.”
Meyer is now repaying the kindness and has donated the excess items to the St. Louis Children’s Hospital, saying: “I’ve been blessed with a lot of things, so I wanted to share them.” The large donation reportedly provided six boxes of Superman items which were made available to the hospital’s sick and injured kids in the form of bingo prizes.
“When you make somebody happy, it does something for you, too,” Meyer said.
It’s very cool to see the comic community rally together and support one of its own. And now to see him pay it forward like that really shows why I love being a part of the geek community. And hopefully, Mike has introduced a whole new generation of geeks to the world. Just seeing one small act can make a huge impact on our society. Not all heroes wear a cape.

Today, I went to the beach with my children.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to
her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it
pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
