Have you ever sent a message in a bottle?

This is a very cool story to anyone who has ever written a note and tucked it away hoping to someday get a response (mine was launched off the Florida gulf coast back in the early 2000’s… still nothing.)

Max did just that off the coast of Rockport, MA in 2010, and received a response… 9 years later from G. Dubois in France!

Now the big question, has Max just found his best friend or arch nemesis?  It has to be one or the other.  <3 Lauren.

Are you a super-taster?

This is the newest hot button issue in the science community. Folks out there want to know whether or not they’re a “super-taster”, and before you show us your most receipt Portillo’s receipt as proof of the condition, scientists want to remind us that “being a super-taster doesn’t make everything taste better. In fact, it can do the opposite.”

So-called super-tasters have been known to especially hate “ugly vegetables”, which has become one of the most popular health trends. These ugly vegetables are despised by super-tasters and scientists believe that it’s a genetic issue more than a personal preference.

Now that we think about it, show us your most recent Portillo’s receipt, you probably are a super-taster. Something tells us there’s not going to be a whole lot of root vegetables on that order, so good for you, and good for everyone else that is scientifically unable to enjoy veggies.

Start lining up at the world’s largest Starbucks

The time has come. Friday, November 15, marks opening day for the new, world’s largest Starbucks. The former Crate and Barrel location now mark the home of world domination for the Pacific Northwest coffee company.

For some, this marks a new hangout spot and a new place to get that screenplay finished. For others, they now have a new place to stand in line, only for their orders to get messed up. For most of us, however, we’re just glad that all of the tourists will be rallied around one spot in the city because we all know that this is the biggest tourist trap to hit Chicago since The Bean touched down a decade ago.

Weirdest gender reveal of all-time

We’ve seen a lot of weird gender reveals over the past few years. Recently, we just saw a plane crash caused by the idea of a gender reveal. Somehow, we’ve found something that tops that in a strange, kind of gross, kind of charming way.

We don’t know exactly how to describe that video, other than the fact that it is indeed the gassiest gender reveal of all-time. We’d like to know how this idea came about. We’d like to know about the execution. Was someone filming or was the camera on a tripod?

All we know is that at the end of the idea, this is the weirdest gender reveal we’ve ever seen, and it was far less expensive than crashing a plane or setting a forest on fire, so props to this lady.

 

Disney+ launches with big list of movies and tech issues

 

So the new big streaming service Disney+ launched today with many people expecting it to compete with Netflix and Amazon Prime right away with it’s vast catalog of hit movies and TV shows, but many users are posting on social media about tech problems. It’s been a trending topic all day on Twitter.

Disney has responded online to the complaints, citing the system has been overwhelming by the huge demand for the streaming service.

It’s worth noting this is the first day and maybe people are overreacting. Let’s hope it gets better so we can binge all day.

311 releases Voyager instrumental album at the request of a fan

What’s the saying?  If you want something, ask for it?  A 311 fan requested the band release the Voyager instrumentals and the band obliged HERE.

Don’t miss them at The Nights We Stole Christmas with Highly Suspect and The Glorious Sons, tickets available HERE.  <3 Lauren

Man uses battle ax to defend his home

Imagine sitting in your apartment. You’re just relaxing watching Rick and Morty, and playing some videogames.

Then, all of a sudden, a belligerent man bursts through your door ready to kill. What do you do?

You grab your trusty battle ax obviously!

Our warrior spared the intruder’s life, but not without leaving his mark. The evil-doer was struck once in the torso then fled the scene, only to be caught later by police.

Don’t mess with a man and his battle ax!

These deer go buck wild

Nature can be a wild place, you never know what you’re going to find.

Also, who knew that deer sound like dying dogs that are vomiting.

What are the chances that these people stumbled across two bucks, antlers entangled, in the midst of battle, while also carrying a chainsaw!

I mean, thankfully they were there to separate the deer so they didn’t drown, but who just carries a chainsaw around?

There’s a lot of questions to be answered here, and we won’t sleep until we find them out.

Weed could cause some health concerns

Recreational marijuana is coming to Chicago in January which is bringing a lot of excitement, but could people be putting themselves at risk by smoking marijuana?

The short answer is no, however, new studies show that frequent marijuana smokers are twice as likely to suffer from a stroke and more likely to be hospitalized for erratic heart problems.

A deeper look into the studies can be found here.

That being said, these are just preliminary studies that are to be presented at the upcoming American Heart Association meeting this week. Until further studies are done, and peer-reviewed published medical journals are released, we can still assume that the consumption of marijuana is, for the most part, harmless.

Texas-sized disaster at gender reveal party

A pilot in Turkey, Texas took a tumble in a gender reveal attempt. The pilot, after dumping 350 gallons of pink water from the plane, stalled out and crashed to the ground.

Luckily, the pilot was cruising at a rather low altitude, but the airliner that is designed to carry just one person had multiple people on board, some of whom suffered minor injuries.

This is not the first gender reveal to go poorly. We hope that their failure entices more people to not try for elaborate gender reveals in the future.

PB&J is the newest form of currency

Unpaid parking fines at the University of Alaska Anchorage can now be reduced or covered completely by simply taking a peanut butter & jelly sandwich to the university.

This effort goes to prevent student hunger, a noble cause in its own right, but we support anything that gives us alternative causes to paying those pesky fines. If only we could start paying for concert tickets with PB&J’s…

Kanye West wants to change his name

How can the most infamous man in America want to change his name? Kanye West is known from coast-to-coast, and his name reverberates through every hallowed hall in the midwest. Yet, for some reason, the born again Christian wants to change his name to Christian Genius Billionaire Kanye West. Here’s the proof:

While discussing the idea of running for President in 2024 (a topic for another time), West noted that he would like to change his name.

This would be the greatest leap into insanity ever since Prince turned himself into a symbol. Yet, somehow, we kind of respect it, especially the billionaire part.
