USA TODAY NETWORK

NOTE: This is an update of the original article posted before the auction took place.

A bunch of Kurt Cobain’s stuff sold at auction this weekend at Julien’s, and the stuff — well, it is quite varied. To say the LEAST.

The guitar he used in the “Smells Like Teen Spirit” music video expected to get around $750K. Instead, the owner of the Indianapolis Colts bid $4.5 million on the 1969 Fender Mustang. Wow.

Someone is the proud owner of Kurt’s 1965 Dodge Dart ($375,000). An original painting of Michael Jackson sold as well ($87,500). Plus a bunch of NFTs and other Cobain stuff.

You can click on this link here to see the haul (just search keyword COBAIN)….or better yet, just look at all the stuff sold. Chances are you will recognize a few of the musicians!

Some adult is going to get paid $1K to take the SAT again

You can relive one of the worst parts of high school all over again! And get paid for your misery!

The tutoring company Learner is going to pay one post-high school adult $1,000 to take the SAT — to see if they can do better than the national average (1060).

You’ll get 3 hours and 15 minutes to finish the exam (that’s about $300 per hour, for those who won’t be excelling in the math portion). And you won’t have to do the essay portion.

If you are glutton for punishment, enter the dream job contest here.

Coffee beans — aren’t even beans after all.

Mind blown.

Among the “5 Myths & Misconceptions About Coffee” shared by Wired, coffee beans aren’t even beans — they’re seeds:

“Technically, it’s the endosperm (pit) of a special kind of berry typically from the Coffea Arabica plant. Initially, it’s wrapped in a thin red fruit that’s peeled off during the cleaning process. Then it’s a light silvery green color until it’s shipped and roasted—eventually reaching your kitchen counter.”

Enjoy your seed juice the next time you wake up with Brian Ali and Justin. ☕

This Nickelback remix is hilarious!

Some genius remixed some Nickelback songs and we’re left with the epic song, “PantsFeet.” Turn it up loud and finally give Nickelback the appreciation that they deserve! Bet you can’t listen just once!

This company gave out $5000 to the ENTIRE staff for employee appreciation

The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas recently had their employee appreciation buffet where they award one lucky employee with $5,000. They mixed it up this year though and instead of giving it to one person, they gave it to the entire staff of 5,400! That’s a cool $27 million for the company.

Porno For Pyros announce first show in 26 years

Jane’s Addiction announced yesterday that they would need to drop out of the Welcome To Rockville fest this weekend due to guitarist Dave Navarro’s “long bout with COVID” and to fill the slot Perry Farrell tapped his other band, Porno For Pyros, for their first full show in 26 years.

“The gang and the government are no different. That makes me 1%,” Farrell wrote in a statement on the festival’s socials. “Rockville, although we are blue that Jane’s cannot be with you at this time due to Dave’s long bout with COVID, I am still coming to Daytona, bringing to you for the first time in 26 years Porno For Pyros Featuring myself, Perry Farrell, Stephen Perkins, Peter DiStefeno and Mike Watt. We’ll play some Jane’s songs for you as well, but for now let’s recall: My boat’s capsized it’s gonna sink to the bottom. I can see the lights on the shore…”

Wonder if we can get them out to Lolla this summer… <3 Lauren

Hospital bills ain’t what they used to be…

A guy posted his Dad’s hospital from 1952 when he was hospitalized for week and in a coma. Most of us would guess that it would be a few thousand for the whole week given how much things are now. NOPE. This might make you take a knee…

These vitamin mascots from the 1950’s might give you nightmares

Dayalets were vitamins used to help with vitamin deficiency. In the 1950’s, they advertised these vitamins in weird ways. Pictures of fakes human mascots made out of food were hung in doctors offices, and they look like a nightmare. Check out some of these below. Would these make you want to take your vitamins? OR ELSE?!

Pearl Jam cancels dates due to COVID

Pearl Jam is currently doing some west coast dates. Drummer Matt Cameron tested positive for COVID-19 in Oakland, so the band brought in some guest drummers and the show went on. Then before their Sacramento show and Las Vegas show, bassist Jeff Ament tested positive as well. They tried to make the show go on without Matt, but losing two people at the same time just isn’t Pearl Jam. They had to cancel both the Vegas and Sacramento dates. Ticket refunds will automatically be processed.
