5 year old Kristoffer Von Hassel figured out that he could log into his dad's Xbox Live account without a password by entering spaces into a second password verification screen after entering the wrong password at the login screen. Kristoffer's father notified Microsoft, and they've now listed Kristoffer as a "security researcher" on their website. He's also received four games, fifty bucks, and a year of Xbox Live.

A Detroit-area man had his 9-year-old daughter drive him to the store because she was his "designated Driver." The daughter reportedly got into the driver's seat at a gas station and drove for several miles before the police pulled the van over, after a 911 tip informed the police of the young driver. When the tyke pulled over, she was reported as saying "What did you stop me for? I was driving good." Luckily, nobody was injured from the incident and no accidents occurred. Except maybe for a man having to admit that his pre-teen daughter could drive better than him in the circumstances.

10 year-old Alyssa De Le Sala received an outpouring of support when she decided to start a lemonade stand to help her family rebuild their home. The family's house was destroyed by a fire two years ago and the contractors they paid to rebuild it never finished the work. She wanted to do something nice for her parents to help finish the home so she started a lemonade stand on her own to raise money.
Honestly torn over who we love more at this point...Ryan Reynolds or Chris Pratt. Both of these guys are real life superheroes, and continue to display an incredible ability to balance the demands of being A-list celebrities, with touching the lives of fans who fell upon hard times, and bad luck. Yesterday we ran a post on Ryan Reynolds who shared a heartwarming tribute to his 14 year old fan (and friend) that'd lost his battle with cancer; and today we've got Star Lord. Love these guys!
