Just Wednesday: Thanksgiving Eve

Instead of telling someone to Sod Off, I'm going to take today to introduce a new Dougintology preferred charity. Comic book fans among you may have heard of The Wayne Foundation. It's the charity arm of Wayne Enterprises and is headed by Batman's alter ego. In the comics it's often used to do follow up work on someone Batman has saved besides it's day to day work of helping people out of bad situations and generous scholarships for promising inner city kids.

Turns out The Wayne Foundation is real [http://waynefdn.org/]. They use the funding to help out woman caught in domestic sex trafficking. There are other charities that do the same thing, but they don't have the geek cred this one does.

As far as I can tell, The Wayne Foundation has no formal connection to DC Comics or Warner Brothers.
