I know a lot of Disney regulars who make it a point to act out a certain scenario when the photo point approaches but I can honestly say I’ve never seen this one done before. (via That’s Nerdalicious) Read on to see what else we found on the old interwebs today…

- The Morbid Atlantic Library had a fire recently which led to some severe water damage. Information on how to help them out is on their website.
- Joss Whedon spoke with USA Today’s Pop Candy recently. Whitney Matheson asked, “In a fight between Buffy and Black Widow, who do you think would win?” Here’s his answer.
Buffy would go easy at first, but as soon as Natasha popped her with a Widow Sting, she’d start bringing some slayer brawn to the fray. Natasha’s fast, but a couple of good connects and she’s wobbling, possibly something broken — she whips out her glock and now Buffy’s dodging — right where Natasha wants her. Natasha shoots the cable holding the steel barrels and they tumble onto Buffy, nearly burying her — Buffy just arcs out of the way, grabbing the splintered cable and swinging directly onto Natasha, a bullet grazing her cheek as her feet land hard on the Russian’s shoulders, sending her back flat — crack! — on the floor, Buffy wrenching the gun away and tossing it, fist ready for the final strike. Natasha, struggling to stay conscious, says the fight’s over. Buffy agrees, but Natasha explains: She poisoned Buffy hours ago. That waitress that brought her salad …? Natasha smiles. The poison is dormant — ’til it’s activated by adrenaline. Buffy’s eyes narrow. “Too bad I didn’t use any.” Wham! Natasha’s out for the count, and Buffy’s heading — slowly — to Willow for a mystical cleanse.
That’d be my first guess.
