Soon spies (and wannabes) everywhere will be embracing a forthcoming glasses technology developed by Brother Industries. The eyeglasses literally give you “secret messages” that can only be seen by the glasses wearer. Oh, and the messages don’t obstruct your vision. Someone buy me a pair in 2010. (And then send me classified information.) Feel free [...]

Eyeglasses wearers everywhere, unite! I am on a search for superheroes that wear glasses. I’ve scoured the web (and my brain) and come up with a list of recognizable glasses-wearing superheroes (and supervillains . . . and some random people that I thought were cool).
