Real or promo? Cow on the loose runs to Chick-Fil-A

The answer is no, this was not a Chik-Fil-A promotional attempt, a cow was actually on the run in Noblesville, Indiana.

Wittiness actually caught on camera running from the police into the direction of the restaurant.

Officers put out a post telling people to include them in the comments if they got a photo or video of the ‘cowboy adventure’.

We’re unsure what happened to the cow after they caught it, but it sounds like those officers had an eventful work day.
Plus we think Chick-Fil-A needs to work with this cow next time they need to make a commercial.

Why this ‘sexy’ mother of the bride dress has everyone talking

Bulgarian brand Tonena has unveiled a ‘sexy mother of the bride dress’ on Etsy.
The gown is over $2,000 and the handmaid gown features an open back, off-the-shoulder lacy sleeves and a whole lot of feathers.
But it’s not the price that’s getting people talking, it mainly starts around this tweet posted by podcast host Rave Sashayed.

It soon became a social media sensation and now has more than 22,000 likes, plus it set off a series of memes featuring Mrs Robison and Elvira.

This company has other dresses meant for the mother of the bride/groom, though most do look like they’re suited for Elvira than a normal mother.

Before the show…

Brian, Ali, and Justin discussed this story and actually thought the woman in the dress was actually a mother who wore it to her daughter’s wedding.

But just to be clear, this isn’t a mother wearing the dress for her daughter’s wedding. The woman in the dress is a model, unlike what Brian and Justin thought. Idiots.

This Twitter user actually has a good point to maybe why they might have thought that.

Then again, maybe not.

All the music on your MySpace is likely gone

The social media older brother of Facebook and Twitter. The one where you ranked your friends in a ‘top 8’, Myspace. It was a huge website, and then just became a punchline. The social media website which still exists, revealed this week that any music uploaded to site between 2003 to 2015 is gone. In an e-mail from the site’s Data Proivacy Officer reported by Consequence of Sound, the issue was caused by “server migration”. To be clear, the e-mail also said “There is no way to recover the lost data.”

No, 101WKQX does not have a MySpace account.

 

VIDEO: Do not drink and climb a tree in Grant Park

So it was expected something dumb would happen during St. Patrick’s Day, now that’s not to say something dumb should happen during a weekend dedicated to celebrating the Irish and the feel-good vibes of a spring season to come.. Hopefully you had a safe and joyful weekend with family and friends taking in the Kelly green Chicago River or one of our many events around town. Well apparently, some people will have to learn the lesson that one should not climb a tree in Grant Park after drinking a lot. Yeah, it’s not a lesson you think you would not have to tell some people but here are several videos discovered by CWB Chicago that say otherwise.

Honestly do not do this. We get it. You are not getting enough attention for your ‘Kiss Me, I’m Drinking’ t-shirt that you thought would be a great hit with your friends, but just be safe and have a good time.

Jelly Belly creator releases line of CBD-infused jelly beans

Jelly Belly creator David Klein, had released his own line of CBD-infused jelly beans.

Klein started the brand in 1976 but left the company in 1980, now he’s launched Spectrum Confections.

He told Cannabis Aficionado how “the jelly bean is perfect for the proper dosage of CBD,” and how people can decide how big of a dosage they’d like, as each bean is 10 ml.

The CBD-infused jelly beans will come in 38 different flavours and can come in sugar-free and sour varieties.

Some flavours included toasted marshmallow, strawberry cheesecake, cinnamon, spicy liquorice and mango.

Unfortunately, anyone looking to get their hands on some might have to wait as the site says they are out of stock due to high demand.

Solomoon:  A new honeymoon trend

Typically after a wedding, couples go on a honeymoon. But a new trend has newlyweds spending their honeymoons away from each other.

So instead of spending a honeymoon with your new husband or wife, you take a vacation alone or with friends after the wedding. Couples who solomoon site the importance of independence, varying work schedules and being in a long-term relationship before tying the knot.

The New York Times interviewed a couple, Irene O’Brien and Mel Maclaine, to get a better understanding of solomoon’s as they partook in one.

But some people took to Twitter to question if theirs a deeper meaning on why people are doing this.

Look all I have to say is it’s your relationship, some don’t even take honeymoons!

Then again, why would you want to take a trip alone after your wedding?

Fall Out Boy is being sued over llama puppets

Yup, you read that headline right: Fall Out Boy is being sued over llama puppets

According to Reuters, they are being sued by Furry Puppet Studio Inc. for illegally exploiting their wearable, life-sized llama puppets. Fall Out Boy had permission to use the puppets for their 2017 video for “Young and Menace.” However, the company claims they continued to use their puppets for other videos and on tour.
This apparently violates the usage agreement the band and company had entered. Additionally, the puppet studio claimed that the damages incurred by the band for using the puppets illegally could reach millions of dollars.

FOB has not issued any commentary or response to the lawsuit that was filed in Manhattan court.

How will electric cars sound in the future? Linkin Park will decide for one manufacturer.

For all the benefits of electric cars, one big disadvantage they hold is their relative silence.  And that’s a BIG deal in a world that constantly has their faces buried in mobile devices.  Fossil fuel engines emit sounds that can prevent someone from mistakenly stepping out in front of a vehicle and ending up as flat as their phone.

So what’s the solution?  Sound engineering, it seems.

We found out a couple years back that Linkin Park would be developing the sounds of Mercedes-AMG electric vehicles, which was reconfirmed at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this month despite the passing of Chester Bennington.  So that is one “musical” project from Mike Shinoda and company that we can look forward to.  It’s a project that will be necessary — any electric vehicle traveling below 19MPH will have to have a “sound.”

So what will hit our ears?  Mashable provides a far more detailed write up of the how and why manufacturers are looking for people to create the sounds of cars in case you want to know more. And thanks to them, we have a few examples below.  — [eric]

How the Plumbers Union dyes Chicago River for St. Pats

From Media Burn archive, this 1992 video shows how the Chicago Plumbers Union dyes the Chicago River. The history of how and when the river was first dyed as a St. Patrick’s Day Parade tradition are shown as a cold day as the river is dyed. It’s worth noting the original idea from Mayor Daley in the 1960s was to dye a portion of the lakefront green, but doesn’t that bring Kelly color pop out so much more on the river?

The Chicago River is one of the most influential water ways in North America, as it is one of the first rivers to reversed due to pollution which caused outbreaks of serious diseases in the mid-1800’s. It took two separate projects to make the Chicago River suitable for consumption by the greatest city in the world. Also if you are from St. Louis, you may not like this video.

The History (and Mystery) of Dyeing the Chicago River Green

Ahh, the St Paddy\’s Day Chicago river dyeing. It\’s both a fun tradition and a great excuse to drink at 8am. But where did it begin?

Prior to today\’s beautiful riverfront paths and the many kayak tours, the river actually was a cesspit of sewage water. Mayor Daley realized no one wanted to live next to a nasty-ass waterway – so he began cleaning it up. According to Chicago Mag, the city\’s plumbers did this by putting some \”green dye into the city’s waste systems to trace the flow of waste discharges\”.

The History (and Mystery) of Dyeing the Chicago River Green

After the smears of green started appearing in the water, they got the idea to turn the entire thing green. The first time they tried it with a large batch, the river was green for like a week. After a few years of trial and error, they finally got the amount right – and thus, the yearly day of radioactive-looking water was born in 1962.

The irony of all this?
The original formula was an oil-based fluorescein. So this substance that was originally used to help efforts to clean up the river, was actually super damaging for water. They switched the formula in 1966 after environmentalists lobbied to stop the use of it. Don\’t worry, the tradition still lived on – they just switched to a vegetable-based dye in powder form.

So what exactly is in this power?
NO ONE KNOWS. The Plumbers Union refuses to reveal the trademark formula. Part of me is disturbed by this (what the f are you guys dumping into our drinking water?!), and the other part thinks it\’s like a secret recipe, akin to Olive Garden breadsticks.

For the first part, major environmental groups are cool with it, so it\’s probably pretty harmless. But for the second…seriously, how are those breadsticks so delicious?!

For a more in-depth look at the river-dyeing, read these articles from Chicago Tribune, Mental Floss, and Chicago Mag.
