While perusing the Internet, we came across this bit of information: "Brad Pitt helped save a kid from nearly drowning yesterday in Venice."

Obviously, we got excited—hero stories are the best! (Unless it's about Tom Cruise, who seems to save people from various auto accidents every few years.)

Of course, we watched the accompanying video—only there was no drowning. There was some tripping on the edge of a dock, which could lead to drowning, we guess. And Brad did help the boy shake it off. But still...those tricksters at TMZ always get us.

It did make us think, though, about how Brad could blink and people would take it as a sign of world peace. He's a powerful man, that one.
