A few days ago, a flock of hundreds of blackbirds dropped from the sky in Chihuahua, Mexico. Some flew off after hitting the ground hard. This video is absolutely nuts. Some say it might be pollution, but I’m going to go with the good ol’ excuse of alien activity. That makes the most sense, right?
Calling in ‘sick’ just got to a higher level, watch!
This woman took calling in sick to a whole new level, an expert level! She knew she wanted to go out and party her face off the night before, so that’s when she called her manager. But she didn’t call from her ‘home’ – no, that would not be believable enough. She called, from the ‘hospital’ while waiting to get an update from the ‘doctor.’ All the while, sounds of a hospital on YouTube are blasting in the background. Genius. I don’t condone it, but I’m not mad at it.
Jimmy Eat World meets Slipknot
The beat from Jimmy Eat World’s ‘The MIddle’ mixed with Slipknot’s ‘Wait and Bleed’ makes a lot of sense! The best mashup you’ll hear today! It’s perfection!
Relationship Court: Brian, Ali, & Justin ruined my marriage.
Do you remember the woman from last week that was being forced to stay in her basement during the Super Bowl? She’s back. And she didn’t listen to her husband.
How can she make this right? The conversation lives on Facebook!
She can play guitar! With her…
Watch this woman play guitar… with her tongue?! Some people are more talented than others. How did she figure out that her tongue had this ability? Probably lots and lots of practice. I can’t watch, I’m scared for her tonsils! But she’s good!

A new version of Titanic… with a cat?
A bored member of society replaced Kate Winslet with his cat, Owl kitty, and honestly, I don’t feel like I’ve lost two minutes of life after watching this trailer. And yes, he does paint the cat like one of his French girls.
The very first recorded interview with Nirvana, ever!
Back in 1990, before Nirvana blew up completely on the Seattle scene and in the world, they did an interview at the University of Washington on January 6th. THIS might be the very first recorded interview with the band. You’ll notice the drummer is NOT Dave Grohl; it’s a good thing they switched him out.
The most adorable little skier ever!
This is by far and beyond the cutest thing you will see all day. A little girl is skiing and her dad mic’d her up. She’s only a few years old but is handling the slopes like a pro and calls herself a ‘crazy girl.’ Must watch!
Missed Foo Fighter’s post-big game concert?
So mad at the refs last night you went straight to bed before the Foo Fighter’s post-big game free virtual reality concert? Well here it is, in good old 2D! <3 Lauren

Is this the greatest Super Bowl ‘Halftime Show’ ever?
Dre, Snoop, Eminem, and a cavalcade of others brought hip hop to the Super Bowl in a way that’s never been done before. All that was missing was a Tupac hologram.
Was this the best ‘Halftime Show’ ever? The conversation lives on Facebook!
Elon Musk has an interesting rule at Tesla for workers
At Tesla, Elon has a rule set in place, if you’re not learning from a meeting and not contributing, it’s ok to leave. It’s not rude, you’re just not wasting anyone’s time. Here he is explaining it himself. Maybe more would get done at companies if they followed this one!
An epic downpour of beer happened at the Waste Management open after a hole-in-one!
The 16th hole at the Waste Management Open was lit up on Saturday after Sam Ryder’s hole-in-one. The fans celebrated the only way they knew how to as classy golf fans- throw your beer!! And the cups just kept on coming. SO much so that no alcohol was allowed at the 16th hole the rest of tournament… this is why they can’t have nice things! Check out this plastic cup tsunami.
There are illegal baby names? LOTS. Here’s the list…
Naming a baby is a huge deal. You have to call this human that is yours the same name for the REST OF IT’S WAKING LIFE! But no pressure. Make it easy on yourself and pick some family name, but definitely, do not, in any circumstance, name your kid any of these names- oh yeah- they’re also banned.
- King
- Queen
- Jesus Christ
- III
- Santa Claus
- Majesty
- Adolf Hitler
- Messiah
- @
- 1069
And to add on that… you can’t put a number in their name, so don’t even try Tim0thy, it won’t work and it’s not cute. It’s scary that I have to say this, but emojis are also off the table. That’s right, you can’t name your kid winky face.
We’re not the only ones with rules like this in the US, other countries have random names you can’t use, like these-
- Osama bin Laden (Germany)
- Metallica: (Sweden)
- Prince William (France)
- Devil (Japan)
Check out this website before you start the naming process and save yourself some hassle- winky face.

Old Morton Salt factory to become new Chicago music venue
It’s the Salt Shed. And it’s coming August 2022 to Chicago.
A $50 million redevelopment of the old Morton Salt factory will yield both indoor (3600 capacity) and outdoor (7000 capacity) venues, as well as the possibility of having other tenants such as a riverfront bar/restaurant, breweries, and coffee roasters.
The people behind Empty Bottle & Thalia Hall are behind this project, who put their first ever schedule up on Facebook.

Your Sunday viewing guide for everything NOT football
The Foo Fighters headline the lineup of what to watch this Sunday that isn’t what everyone else is watching — the football game.
Dave Grohl and company will be doing a VR concert immediately after the football game. Grab your Oculus headset and get ready to plug in at approximately 10PMCST — oh, and if you don’t want to get too fancy, it will be on the Foo Fighters’ Facebook page as well.
Lifehacker also has some other options for you today — a reboot of a beloved sitcom, a cute and cuddly puppy tradition, and so much more to keep you occupied. Oh, and in 2022 you can watch the Super Bowl commercials before they even air. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!!!
Eric Kristensen is from the Weekend KQX and will definitely be watching football today — he has money on the game. You can bet he would love you to follow him on Twitter, no matter what you decide to view. (@erickristensen)
