That's right, he's standing on the back of a running buffalo while shooting at Native Americans.

The Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave unveiled its new exhibit, Buffalo Bill Superhero, yesterday on Lookout Mountain. The character of Buffalo Bill (born William F. Cody) graced the cover of almost 2,000 dime novels more than a century ago, making him America's first comic-book hero -- and paving the way for Batman and Superman. But Buffalo Bill was a real man, too, and at one point the most famous man in the world.

For images of Buffalo Bill fighting a wolfpack while using a live wolf as a weapon, surfing on a log down a log flume, or standing the back of a buffalo while shooting a rifle at an attacking group of Indians, as well as many other fantastic situations, see the covers below.

World's scariest trash can.

​After a recent coupon mailer alerted us to the opening of Lollipop Park in Centennial (who's bubble letter advertisement and accompanying photos looked strangely like Funtastic Fun's old stuff) we went down to check out the scene.  And it was, in fact, the same kiddie amusement park rides and trick mirrors from the former Funtastic Fun location at 3085 South Broadway, except everything looked a little cleaner and brighter. (We should also note that the coupon explicitly says that while no adults are allowed on the premises without a child, one can feel free to bring someone else's kid. Strange.)

Is this horse wearing a bra?

​Monday, MSNBC (we know, we might as well be reading Reader's Digest) ran a piece on sexualized kid's toys targeting, you guessed it, young girls. It seems that the media outlet missed the Bratz uproar over a half-decade ago, and decided it was time to cause a parental ruckus over some "tarty" takes on childhood favorites. Apparently, the old-fashioned doll enthusiasts freaked out in 2011 because horses are now carrying purses and Disney characters have traded in sweet smiles for snarky ones.

Amy Adams's senior picture. Adorable!

​Best Supporting Actress nominee Amy Adams was your typical senior in the tiny town of Castle Rock, Colorado. Before graduating from Douglas County High School in 1992, Adams may have hung out at these spots in Castle Rock, now a city of more than 44,000.

It very well could be. Flickr user How Brown Met Blue has shared this photo of a Calvin and Hobbes mural with the world, and for that, we're grateful.

​Update: 5:32 p.m.

This contest didn't have as large of a participation level as our past giveaways, but Show and Tell readers proved themselves horror experts here. Great responses.

Here are our top five comments:

"Wouldn't it be fun, if you were a doll like me?"

​Some people are scared of Barbie and her seemingly anti-feminist position in pop culture. And those people are just plain terrified of Bratz dolls and their big-eyed whorishness. But some dolls... some dolls aren't disturbing because of your social views, or for reasons having to do with the ways you might not want your daughters to look. Some dolls? Are just freaking scary.

​Speaking of Slip 'n Slides, even the lame foam pillow that litigation forced on that awesome toy -- because, oh, somebody got paralyzed -- couldn't save this kid from face-planting right into the grass, like the time my roommate tried to beer Slip 'n Slide on the kitchen linoleum, except he didn't move nearly as far. He mostly just face-planted. Either way, we all laughed at him -- great, lulzy laughs at his misfortune. Which is exactly what we'll do once more, after the jump.

​Let's be real for a moment: being a kid is dangerous business. You could swerve that two-wheeler into traffic, or fall out of that tree you're climbing, or fly that kite into a power line. Just about everything that a kid does over the course of an average day is risky in some way. You know why? Because doing stupid things is fun. Kids know this. Johnny Knoxville knows this. Parents know this too, but they think that reducing risk is part of the raising-kids gig these days. Which is sad, because some of the best toys have been ridiculously dangerous. Gloriously, awesomely dangerous. Until safety came along and ruined everything. Thanks a lot, safety.
