Percy Jackson Author Rick Riordan Reminds Us All of How Book-to-Screen Adaptations Can Fall Apart

Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief was based on the novel of the same name by Rick Riordan

A New Meme Is Reigning Supreme on Twitter

Amy Poehler stars as Leslie Knope in Parks and Recreation
Good memes come to those who wait and this one is definitely a fun happenstance.
