Mildly Interesting

"It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 6.35 oz bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.

And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon."

There are some funny chemical elements around. Darmstadtium, Hafnium, Einsteinium and more.

But did you know we were close to getting J*rkoffium"?

The facility which discovered many elements like Darmstadtium, Hafnium and more resides near a town name "Wixhausen" which literally translates to "J*rkoff Village". And for some obvious reason the scientists decided to name their newly discovered element NOT after the local town but after the big city next to it: Darmstadtium - which is only a slightly better choice because Darmstadt means "Bowel City" and Darmstadtium could be translated as "Bowelium".

So this is why you can not have "J*rkoffium".

(What clowns do name German settlements? Düsseldorf could be translated as "Idiots Village" and there are even worse names...)

And even further, only those exact same two seats are ‘taken’ for every single showing.

I thought for sure the after church showings tomorrow would be at least somewhat full, but nope.

"The portable 'Calvin Discjockey' could be plugged into any amp or pa system. It was primarily marketed to radio DJs as a convenient console in a suitcase for personal appearances and dances. It played both old-standard 78s and new microgroove 33/45s, using a two-sided cartridge with a knob on the head that flipped it over. Separate volume controls for each turntable and a microphone. No cue channel. The metal platters were covered in soft fiber and driven by a pinch-roller between the inside rim and motor capstans. The white knobs adjusted the speed by moving the roller across the capstan's three diameters. The mic jack was whimsically labeled "Mike". c-1962"

(No link, sorry. Got this from a friend who emailed it to me.)

During a walk, my sister took a photo of squirrels with their tails matted and knotted together. I’ve heard of rat kings, but would this be considered a squirrel king?

Thanks to Costco fueled bulk buying, between the last time I bought deodorant and this week, my deodorant changed from the Scent of Adventure to the Scent of Cypress.

So is Cypress the sum total of adventure or an overdue respite?

So, a loca US basedl home school association actually has a football team. They're doing okay in the state rankings (given the circumstances of not being a government backed public school or private donor slash multimillion dollar private school), but I really want to point out the local journalist here. They went out of their way to grab a super local/niche story and, not just report on it but, give it the star treatment. Bro went full NPR voice on an athletic program with like twelve to fifteen students. GOAT.
