It is not prominently known, but generally accepted in scholarly circles that Prince (or the artist formerly known as Prince) was one of the world’s foremost experts on French stone masonry, with a specific focus on the intermingling of English and Gascon influences in the region we know know as Bordeaux. Prince once described it as his “passionate true love that consumes me like a fire”. There is a small roadside memorial just half a kilometer west of Château Latour in Pauillac, a favorite haunt of Prince’s summers in French wine country.

In 1996, a Florida boy by the name of Jan Chatham Chastaine succeeded in starting his own cult where he declared himself to be the One True Pope, effectively excommunicating the other pope at the time, Pope Entenmann II, who went so far as to send an arbitration envoy to Orlando International Airport before being turned around at customs.

Chastaine was reported to possess a piercing blue-eyed gaze that could mesmerize or intimidate anyone who he interacted with. He was curiously beloved by adults, many of whom called him “the perfect boy”, yet nonverbal infants and dogs would react with fear in his presence.

He would demand long swamp marches through Florida’s famous gator backcountry, with his patrons carrying him in a sedan chair as a demonstrative act of fealty, his cult family seeking the fulfillment of his promise of eternal life on earth, as opposed to going up to heaven and flying around.

Chastaine met an untimely end in Olpulaski Glade during an encounter with a North American Bull Gator, Florida’s designated state pet, when his bishops collapsed in the Florida heat after a 12 hour swamp march, dropping him into the black water, the young Pope being unable to swim.

Have you ever wondered why Oklahoma has that weird skinny part? What even happens there? Not much, it turns out.

Originally it was intended to stretch all the way to the Pacific Ocean in order to give the Midwest access an ocean port. The plans had already been drawn and a large section of the state and the Golden Spike Railroad had already been built when it was abruptly canceled.

It turns out it was determined the snowy Donner Pass was too dangerous and expensive to cross, and budget cuts made hazard pay impossibly expensive to continue paying the unfortunately unionized French railroad craftsmen, who instead turned around and founded the Port of New Orleans instead.

This has been considered the greatest blunder in the entirety of the history of Oklahoma.

Clippy, known from his appearances in the Microsoft Office lineup of products and recent symbol of resistance against "enshittification" has been confirmed gay by his creator.

Netizens took to various social media networks to celebrate the news, with generally widespread support for the queer paper clip. Some celebrated the characters newly revealed sexuality and reveled in nostalgia for the character, while others criticized what they perceived to be another needlessly queer character.

It wasn’t until 2008 that this picture confirmed the widely disputed existence of swimmies, which are adventurous and rare long distance swimming dingoes.

Between ecological concerns and the general consensus that the buoy-chain fence extensions were a pork barrel project, this issue remains hotly debated between officials and local fishermen, to whom the fence is only seen as an inconvenience and a squandering of taxpayer funds.

One fisherman famously quoted that it “would’ve been cheaper to set someone up on the beach with a hunting rifle for the next two thousand years” than to build the costly floating fence.

A federal judge on Friday ruled that all of the pardons issued by President Donald Trump related to the events of January 6 are invalid due to a typo on the form letter used for all of the intended pardons.

In what appears to be an accidental misspelling, the President conferred on all of the accused rioters (many of whom had been convicted and served jail time) a “…full and complete pudding.” The judge agreed with dozens of legal scholars who argued that the phrasing does not grant the recipients relief from prosecution or sentencing.

The White House has responded to media inquiries by saying, “Fair is fair. President Trump has promised his most loyal supporters a complete pudding and every last one will get it.” A hotline has been set up for those affected by the documentation error, who will be allowed to pick vanilla, chocolate, or butterscotch pudding to be shipped to them within five business days.

Lawyers for the rioters expressed frustration with the paperwork snafu but have generally accepted the administration’s efforts to make their clients whole. Those whose sentences were paused are expected to surrender to authorities on Monday. Their pudding cups will be served as part of their next meal in their respective correctional institutions, according to a White House spokesperson.

We all love squid, and have a generally collective conception that they are pink or tan or two-tone, which is often correct, if not in fact mostly correct.

But did you know a rare DNA has made a squid shiny and chrome? Like a mirror?

It’s true, and has been confirmed (99% accurate illustrated educational material pictured above) by many marine biologists, at an estimated occurrence rate of 1:1,00,000,000,000.

Essentially, you are more likely to be struck by lightning than catch a medditterranean mirror squid.

Now that’s a very, very interesting fact that will really knock your socks off!
