Mental Age Test
There’ a website called The Real Me. It’s got a free test to see what your ‘metnal age’ is vs your actual age. The test defines “mental age” as your psychological abilities compared to the, quote, “number of years it takes for an average [person] to reach the same level.” It’s 30 questions, mostly true or false. Things like, “Could you kill a cockroach with a book?” and “I like to be friends with [people] older than me,” true or false? At the end, it tells you your mental age. Like, you might be 42, but your mental age is 26.
Try it out!

July 12th, 1979 was Disco Demolition night at Comsiky
Weird promotions were pretty common at Comisky in the late 1970’s. This one seemed no different from the beginning. People paid a dollar admission for a double header if they brought a disco record to destroy between games, it’s Disco Demolition Night baby! After the Tigers won the first game, disc jockey Steve Dahl knew it was time to blow up some records. They weren’t sure if a lot of people would show up, that’s why promotions director and the owners son, Mike Veeck, thought to give the discount. 70,000 people showed up. After the records were destroyed, people slowly started to leave their seats… running onto the field while the Sox were warming up and suddenly… the field was on fire…. watch!

The most cursed tour ever ‘rages’ on
Four songs into the first of a two night stay at The Madhouse, Zack de la Rocha, frontman of the reunited Rage Against the Machine, briefly went backstage before returning to the stage, seated, on a monitor. He told the crowd, “I don’t know what happened to my leg right now, but you know what? We’re gonna keep this f*ckin’ shit goin’. If I have to crawl across this stage. We’re gonna play for y’all tonight. We came too f*ckin’ far.”
Fear not, the four-piece sounded as strong as ever, even with their leader seated on a monitor to the side of the stage.
