The fast food powerhouse has filed for its IPO, which Brian, Ali, & Justin have been told is very important. What this means, we don’t exactly know, but if going public can help us funnel more Italian beef into our mouths, then we aren’t going to complain.
If someone wants to explain to us what this means, please hit us up on Facebook!
The London-based Costa Coffee company is under fire for a new marketing campaign that has been deemed offensive by those that are practicing celibacy from humor. The company is trudging forward with their “flick the bean” slogan, which is supposed to highlight the company’s fresh ingredients. What, did you think it meant someone else?
Anyways, we’ll go back to our regularly scheduled bean flicking. Knock if you need us.
Prof Roy Taylor from Newcastle University recently did a study on Type 2 Diabetes. His findings showed that people might just be too big for their bodies. Basically, if you can fit into jeans from when you were 21, you should be ok. In his work, he found that 8 out of 12 people managed to get rid of their condition (or went into remission) by losing 10-15% of their body weight by taking in about 800 calories a day with shakes and soups. All of these people were of normal BMI, but had Type 2 diabetes or at risk. However, by losing fatty deposits in the liver and pancreas, it was thought that the body was able to get back to regular insulin producing levels. SO, if you’re not overweight, and you’re strutting around your skinny jeans from way back when, you should be good.
A museum asked a Danish artist to make a piece of art similar to one he had previously done, using actual money to represent how much the average person makes each year in Denmark, which is about $38,000. He agreed, but instead of delivering framed pieces of art with bank notes everywhere, he just had the frames delivered. Then he changed the title of his work from “An Average Danish Annual Income” to “Take the Money and Run.” The museum was expecting the frames to be filled with money, and instead they were completely blank. The artist claims the work represents “the working conditions of artists” and says that they have a responsibility to question the structures they’re a part of… what a great way to get $84,000. This is Banksy level type hijinks; I’m not even mad, I’m just impressed!
Chevy Avalanches were not made for this. The little nut hoarder put them under the hood, then moved on to the fenders and any place that was accessible to store his winter stash. Oh, and as you can tell, these walnuts are the size of lemons. The owner has removed over 42 gallons already and counting. Naughty squirrel!
An 11-year-old in Chicago lost his best friend due to a move a few years ago, then the two remained separated due to COVID-19 concerns. On Friday, they reunited.
The Chicago Egg Hunters collective is ready to find you egg thrower! It’s a Facebook group of over 700 people trying to figure out who is doing this annoying and juvenile crime. Oddly enough, one podcast pointed out that at each egging site, there is also specific graffiti. Weird! Hopefully this case gets solved quickly, I already get pooped on by birds enough as it is, I don’t need to worry raw egg too.
An NYU professor says that with fewer men going to college, that could potentially create a “mating crisis” with too many men becoming broke and alone. Ouch. The problem is, many men have a lot of options instead of more school, where they can earn six figures right away or close to that. As of right now, about 60% of women are going to college, where as men make up %40, according to the Wall Street Journal, and that number is shrinking- quickly. In 1970, it was opposite. Men are also much more likely to drop out, so that percentage is generous. What does it all mean? Well, women might have to be ok not being the only girlfriend, OR we might be on the verge of a mating crisis.
