We are gathered here today to mourn the loss of a loved one: pizza.

Have you ever heard of someone recalling food? Maybe you got a notice saying a food product was, in fact, dangerous and that if you have the food, you should throw it away. Maybe you have had to throw out recalled food. Maybe you consumed some prior to knowing! But when a food item is completely recalled, and they have a supply of the now-terrible … Continue reading We are gathered here today to mourn the loss of a loved one: pizza.

Is that gift encased in 50 feet of concrete yours?

Hey, everyone! Welcome to my first post of 2026 (I know I spaced out on the January 1 post, but so much was happening)! This post, even though I know I’m late for the Christmas season, deals with a tale of humans’ favorite activity at Christmastime: regifting. The Pesky Pants prank was a regifting joke that happened from 1965 to 1989. Larry Kunkel and Roy … Continue reading Is that gift encased in 50 feet of concrete yours?

Quite a McInteresting language

Some brands are not known for their logos or slogans, but for their strange language. And while basically 0% of brands do this and I have created the world’s worst opening, I’d like to introduce you to one brand that does do this: McDonald’s. McDonald’s, also known as Macca’s, Mickey D’s, or Heart Attack Central, is known for their menu options, which, as you may … Continue reading Quite a McInteresting language

Okay, they might’ve sucked there…

Football (not soccer) is an American favorite sport, going back to late 1869! In all the games they’ve played, there may have been some gigantic lopsided victories. But can you guess the biggest? 0-20? 0-50? 0-100? Well, you’re close… Try 0-222. On October 7, 1916, the Cumberland College Bulldogs, from Lebanon, Tennessee, went up against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets from Atlanta, played at the … Continue reading Okay, they might’ve sucked there…

When first class smells like economy

Sometimes, flying sucks. There are possibilities that your flight could be delayed, cancelled, or worse. If you do get on your flight, there could be not very good seats, limited snacks, bad quality, or, in this case, a very terrible passenger. United Airlines flight 976 was a flight that went from Buenos Aires to New York City on October 19 to 20, 1995. Upon landing … Continue reading When first class smells like economy

“It’s a bird!” “No, it’s a plane!” “No, it’s Lawnchair Larry!”

Sometimes, people do silly things. There. I said it. While these may be the entire basis for this blog, it is humorous to see some of the craaaaazy stuff the ol’ Homo Sapiens are up to. Why, here’s one! Larry Walters (1949-1993) had always dreamed of flying, but he had bad eyesight, so he was denied a job as a pilot by the Air Force. … Continue reading “It’s a bird!” “No, it’s a plane!” “No, it’s Lawnchair Larry!”

“I’m from Beatosu!” “Really? I’m from Goblu!!”

A paper town is a city located on a map that exists on the map but in real life does not. Some noteworthy examples include Agloe, New York, Argleton, England, or, in this case, Beatosu and Goblu in Ohio. In 1978, University of Michigan alumnus and State Highway Commission Chairman Peter Fletcher was ordered to make an official Michigan state map. Fletcher had a “sly … Continue reading “I’m from Beatosu!” “Really? I’m from Goblu!!”
