Superman is drawing huge crowds as Man of Steel takes off in theaters and people argue about whether or not they liked it. Some, meanwhile, just want to get into Superman comics and aren't sure where to start. Never fear: We've got the best Superman comics for you to read, to get a sense of the Big Blue Boy Scout. First we should preface this by saying that quite a few Superman comics are available on Comixology and on Kindle, but that you should really find your local comics shop and buy books there, not least because they'll point you towards other books you might like.

Thai police arrested a pet shop owner in Bangkok, Thailand after confiscating 14 albino lions imported from Africa and hundreds of other protected animals. These are very rare lions. Take a look at these striking photos.
Well we all know that being a star isn't all happy times, and is actually a lot of hard work, dedication, and stress. No wonder many celebrities often struggle with drug and alcohol abuse, and often act out in unstable ways. I can imagine how the spot light of the parents has affected their poor children and unfortunately predisposed them for destructive behaviors. Here are some examples of famous kids who have gone the wrong way.
Everyone is beautiful on the inside. On the outside it is clear that some people are more gorgeous than others. Being a pretty person doesn't always give you benefits. Just ask these people. These women and one man feel like their good looks bring unwanted attention and professional obstacles.
Jj O'Brien Nolan, a Facebook user, posted a picture of an unidentified Taco Bell employee licking a stack of taco shells, to Taco Bell's official Facebook page. He posted this statement with the image "This sure says a lot about your employees, food treatment and what they post on the internet." The horrifying pic has taken off fast and is circulating all over internet. I can imagine the fear and frustration of the chain. Rob Poetsch, a Taco Bell spokesman, told the Daily News that the taco shells were never served to customers. "They were used for training only and in process of being thrown out, however, two employees took and posted this photo on their personal pages against policy," Poetsch said. What kind of training are they conducting with the food I wonder? He also claimed that they are conducting an investigation, and will take the appropriate actions when they find who did this. This kind of pictures make me realize once again that cooking at home is the best choice!

It ain't gonna happen" said Kim Minder, Brittany's mom to KOMO-TV.
According to the World Health Organization, there are 500,000 cases of cervical cancer and 250,000 women die from it each year. India is especially susceptible to the disease because pap smears are not available. It's the number one cancer killer of women there. However there has been a recent discovery of a very low-tech way to screen for cervical cancer, and it has been one of the top five studies presented at the meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Chicago. Swabbing a woman's cervix with vinegar can apparently show abnormal cells on the surface of the cervix within one minute. "Within just one minute, the person administering the test - using the naked eye and a light - can see if there are abnormal cells on the surface of the cervix; abnormal cells turn white, because the acid in the vinegar makes protein in the nucleus of the abnormal cells coagulate and become easily visible."
