'Spider-Men' take over Peru university
Monday, July 19, 2004 Posted: 8:05 PM EDT (0005 GMT)

LIMA, Peru (Reuters) -- Dozens of students wearing red "Spider-Man" masks took over buildings at Peru's National Engineering University Monday to demand the removal of the dean, whom they accuse of mishandling funds, a radio station reported.

The mask wearers -- students just like the shy Peter Parker whose exploits as a superhero are the subject of the hit movie "Spider-Man 2" -- hid their faces so as not to be picked up by police or security cameras at the National Engineering University, RPP radio reported.

"The university has been taken over by 50 masked delinquents, who have broken doors," Dean Roberto Morales told the radio station.

"We're trying to get rid of them and to reorganize the university," one of the students, wearing the red mask printed with a black spider's web, told RPP.

The peaceful standoff continued and police were standing by.

With the Spider-Man craze sweeping Lima, the masks are on sale at roadsides and cinemas for about $3.

My friend spent a summer supervising a group of young foreign students visiting Cambridge. When they arrived, they got to pick an English name whilst staying there. The best ones were a girl called Glacier, a Bolivian kid called Spiderman and a little Peruvian boy called The Incredible Hulk. Apparently they had to call each other these names all the time, even when they were playing football and stuff.

And don't forget the German Super-Baby revealed to the world earlier this month.
