A lot happens in and around Toronto, but we can only write about so much in a week. Here’s the best of the rest, in a new weekly feature we’re calling Superfluist. Superfluist will now appear every Saturday.

• Three couples tried to break the world record for longest kiss last weekend at Mexx. If the photo above is any indication, it was precisely as awkward as kissing competitions tend to be! More photos are in our Flickr pool.
• Goth-rock/goth-pop/post-punk band The Cure has postponed their concert in Toronto from this September until next April, which means that there’s one more thing for Cure fans to be grumpy about.
• In a show of support for Canada’s troops and a continuation of our country’s distaste for the apostrophe, an 170-kilometre stretch of Highway 401 may very well be named “Highway of Heroes.”
• Brampton was named one of the safest cities in the world?
• The ROM launched PhotoDiary, “Canadian’s first museum photo blog.”
• Reader Kevin White sent us his photos from last weekend’s Drift Mania Canadian Championship. Could Fast and the Furious 6: Toronto Drift be on the horizon? Hopefully not, no!
• American Gladiators is coming back to TV. If our endless cannibalizing of American TV shows is any indication, Canadian Gladiators is two years away, tops. Dibs on naming one of our gladiators “Ice.”
• Steve Munro demonstrated the failings of the TTC’s Wheel Trans service by means of a rather disastrous case study.
• Spotted on the streets of Germany: “Without the cracks in the sidewalks and walls, the city cannot breathe.”
• If you were interested in seeing some more of Joe Bluhm’s not-particularly-flattering caricatures from the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, Drawn has a handful of great ones.
• When someone posted an incredibly blurry YouTube clip of Beyonce maybe exposing her breasts at the Air Canada Centre, the internet exploded. Beyonce says that she was wearing a flesh-coloured bra, which would make it a rather awesome coincidence, as she was also here to launch a clothing line.
