The Justice League membership exam is surprisingly lax

1975’s Justice League of America 115 featured a quiz in which any non-superpowered Jack or Jane could apply for JLA membership. I imagine Batman had to take this thing at one point. Bureaucracy!

Bizarre Japanese Toy Turns Bodies into Orchestras

If you’re already in the habit of slapping and poking your friends (IRL, not Facebook), you might as well get some music out of it.
