Kim Kardashian is a hobbit

Camden looks just a little nicer than Bakhmut Artemovsk does at the current moment. Just a little bit. It’s probably about as safe too.

No, she’s way too skinny

‘Rocky Mountain Oysters’ are not actually seafood.

They’re actually made of balls.

A snail can sleep for three years.

Today is the 79th anniversary of Operation Glimmer, in which the RAF flew aircraft and sailed ships near Pas-de-Calais to deceive the Germans into thinking the allies would be landing there instead of at Normandy.

America told him to drop dead. Then the USSR showed up on the rebound and said “America was cruel for rejecting you, but I am kind,” so the Vietnamese became communist and won their freedom.
