Maybe it’s just me being a geek but I reckon that being the side-geek of a super hero would be pretty cool. I have listed all the perks of being a superhero’s side-geek below which may get you thinking about the next job you apply for.
1: With the never-ending supply of super-cool electronics, gadgets and gizmos which superheroes need to fight crime and stay up-to-date with what’s going on in the world, you will have full access to everything a super geek could ever dream of. Super computers, super-fast internet and super technology that nobody else in the world has, will be at your finger tips and ready to use at your convenience.
2: Super heroes tend to rescue a lot of pretty looking women in distress. What do you think happens when they rescue more than one at the same time? Just because they’re a super hero doesn’t mean that they can handle both of the women. While the super hero is busy dealing with one of the women in distress, this is the perfect opportunity for you to jump in and help the other woman by making her feel safe. Not only will the woman be grateful for your help by making her feel safe, you will be her own personal hero, and as a thank you for saving her, she might just end up sleeping with you.
3: Are you the side-geek of a superhero that is of the opposite sex? Superheroes get lonely and also need attention, just like anybody else. Have you ever thought about super babies? How cool would it be to have a baby with a super hero? Your baby will have super powers of its own and could help you with the house work while the super hero was out fighting crime and battling super villains.
4: Being the Super hero’s side-geek and personal friend, it’s most likely that you will be needed close at all times. Where closer to the superhero than living with them could you possibly be? Living with a superhero would be amazing, not only would you never have to worry about being burgled, imagine the social boost it would give you if all your friends knew you lived with a super hero.
5: Imagine being able to hold on to Superman as he’s flying threw the sky, or being able to use Batman’s bat mobile whenever you needed too. Being the side-geek of a superhero would give you full access to however the super hero travels. Take out the bat mobile, or put on superman’s cape, travelling in style is one of the many benefits of being a superhero’s side-geek.
6: Not all super heroes are born with super powers such as Superman’s ability to fly, super-strength, laser eye-sight, super-speed, super-hearing or the ability to freeze things with their breath. Super heroes without the natural ability of super powers, also need a way to fight criminals, which is where the need for a large selection of sophisticated geek weapons comes into play which you can’t really buy on the high street or off your local black market retailer. Having a never ending supply of ultra-cool and super-geeky weapons of torture can be hours of fun.
7: Isn’t it every guy’s dream to be tied up and threw around, or just mine? Kinky kidnapping can be hours of fun if you’re into that sort of thing, well, that’s if the superhero manages to save you in time, otherwise you might just end up dying. Getting tied up, beaten, and forced to do things you really don’t want to do can be a great perk of being a super hero’s side-geek, that’s if you’re into that sort of thing.
8: Growing your social network contacts by networking with super villains can be highly beneficial, not only for social status as you will be able to add the nation’s most notorious super villains to your social networking profiles like Facebook and Myspace, but also because at one point in time you might lose your job as the super heroes side-geek and the super-villains might be hiring. Who else better to work for other than a superhero? A Super villain, that’s who. Getting back at your super ex-employer by working with one of their sworn enemies would teach them a lesson or too about letting you go. Not only would you know where their secret head quarters are, you would also know their weaknesses.
9: How cool would it be if you had the original costume a well known super hero had such as, Batman’s bat cape, Superman’s tights, or even Spiderman’s spider suit? Well, if you’re the side-geek of a superhero, who else are they going to give their clothes to? Having the costume of an actual superhero would impress your friends and get you more interest from the opposite sex, even if you are a geek.
10: Imagine being able to call up a superhero whenever you needed them? Being the personal friend and side geek of a superhero would give you exclusive access to their phone number for you to call them whenever you needed help or a quick-trip around the world, quicker than a jet on speed.

first post = list
I think this is the best so far as well. The fart classification guide, and ‘20 creative ways to get fired’ posts don’t really bode well with me.
