ATTENTION GEEK GIRLS IN MELBOURNE!
Do NOT go to comics r us. They’ve been starting to refuse some women service because “girls can’t possibly be into advanced comics like batman”. The ringwood store owner has also handed out free chupa chumps to girls he finds attractive and talk to him (I’ve been one of them). They have also been refusing to look at resumes handed in by women despite being understaffed.
Please, if you’re looking for a place to buy comics in Melbourne support and buy from All Star Comics and Minotaur, both of these establishments are run by amazing people.

Drunk Jumping of the Day: Four suited-up gentlemen gave patrons of the classy Vue de Monde restaurant in Melbourne’s Rialto Towers quite a thrill when they suddenly dashed towards the balcony and lept off.

The foursome turned out to be BASE jumpers ditching a tab at the restuarant’s Lui Bar in spectacular style.

According to owner Shannon Bennett, the men entered the restroom in succession shortly before the stunt, where they put on their parachutes, and then headed straight for the 55th floor balcony and jumped.

The 886-ft. skyscraper, noted for being the tallest office building in the Southern Hemisphere (floor to roof), has 56 stories in all.

The identities of the jumpers have yet to be revealed, but Bennett says they all wore helmet-cams, so he expects to see footage of dine-and-jump on YouTube “pretty soon.”

Escaped Goat of the Day: A runaway goat was caught on tape giving officials in Melbourne the runaround.

It remained unclear where the stray nanny came from, but it was eventually caught and sent to the Lost Dogs’ Home animal shelter.

And, before you ask, yes: ITN was nice enough to add some Benny Hill-ish chase music to its report.
