I know, it always comes so fast each year. And don't get me started on how commercialized it's gotten over the years - UGH! It's like everyone's forgotten the true meaning of Cow Milked While Flying In An Airplane Day. Allow me to offer a refresher: Cow Milked While Flying In An Airplane Day celebrates the day a cow named Elm Farm Ollie (formerly Nellie Jay) became the first cow to be milked while flying in an airplane (February 18, 1930). Apparently there was a need to study the effects of height on a cow's ability to produce milk, so they stuffed ol' Elm Farm Ollie in a Ford Trimotor aircraft and began their 72 mile feat-o-teat over Bismarck, Missouri. During the flight, her milk was placed in paper cartons and parachuted down to spectators below, something that's not at all kind of gross or really just an udderly weird thing in general to do. How will you be celebrating this year?

  You've heard of porch pirates, but have you heard of taco raccoons?! A woman in Florida was aghast when she opened her apartment door expecting a bag of tacos, only to find that three raccoons were already enjoying her meal. She says the perpetrators began hissing at her when she started filming them, so she decided to forfeit her carne asada out of fear for her safety. I dunno. Have you ever had carne asada?! I'd be squaring up with the little devils.  Source: Cat Sevares on TikTok

    ♦  Music producer and ex-co founder of Def Jam Records, Russell Simmons, is being sued for sexual assault, harassment, and battery by a former executive of Def Jam Records.  The victim, who is referred to as "Jane Doe" in the filing, claims that Simmons assaulted her, created a toxic work environment, and derailed her career because of his shit bag behavior. The victim claims that Simmons assaulted her when she went to his apartment to approve a new video (she fought him off). Afterwards, he then created an extremely hostile work environment; and that despite telling him numerous times to leave her office and to leave her alone, the harassment continued. The Guardian UK wrote an article and it includes details about the assault from the filing so proceed with caution Read More Russell Simmons in 2017.

Welcome, my chickens, to the latest edition of "Who's The Thirstiest Ho?" First up, perennially-parched stunt queen, Beyonce, who last Sunday gave everyone a confusing case of "Harpo, who's that new Kardashian and why is she wearing a tiny metal heart on her cha-cha hole?" when she dropped a commercial and two new songs during the Super Bowl for her forthcoming country album. Yes, you read that right, "country," the last bastion of greedy pop stars hoping to find a new revenue stream besides this . It worked out so well for Justin Timberlake  and Steven Tyler . Yippee ay yee!  When she inserted herself into TaylorBowl, many wondered if Beyonce was showing her "Look at meeeeee!" jellyness. Others asked if she was stealing the spotlight from Usher's halftime show and his own forthcoming album. The answer is a joyous, "Yes, to all of this!" And when you scorch that much earth, boy, do you need moisture. And since someone on Bey

Peckers, grab your rosaries and say your prayers! The sun's magnetic poles are due to flip, and it could happen this year ! NSF/AURA/NSO I'm kidding, of course. Not about the flipping, but about the need to worry about it. This happens every 11 years, after all! What even is a magnetic pole? Gifer A magnet is a material that produces a magnetic field. Super helpful, huh? A magnetic field is essentially an area that influences the motion of charged particles moving through it. You've probably run into magnets before. Maybe you stuck them on your fridge, or you're convinced the COVID vaccine lets you stick car keys to yourself . Magnets sticking is achieved due to the magnet producing a field that attracts the particles in the magnet to the particles in the refrigerator. Magnetic fields look pretty cool. Here we see the structure of a magnetic field because of how it lines up pieces of metal that are aligned by the center magnet's field. Wikipedia If I went any furthe

We're all familiar with the phrase 'dine and dash' - you know, that thing trifling broke ass tricks do when they should've just stayed at home and had a ham sandwich. But have you ever heard of the 'nip and duck'? Well, allow me to introduce you to THIS lady who did just that!

    ► Triple-name-has-been Sean William Scott has filed for divorce from Olivia Karenberg after 4 years.  He checked off "irreconcilable difference" box on the paperwork.  SWS is seeking join custody of their 3 year old daughter.  I had no idea he was married or had a kid.  I guess that memo went to my "Don't Give A Shit" folder.   Read More Sean Scott William. Photo: Getty / TooFab.com Comment:  I haven't heard about him since he was in American Pie back in 2000 (?) and the shitty sequels that followed, with each one worse than the previous. I checked his IMDB and the last "significant" role he had was was in the reboot of Lethal Weapon as a TV series that lasted from 2018-2019. Since then, he's made 2 movies that I can only surmise were released direct-to-the trashcan.  SWS is the relative that you forgot existed until you get a birthday card from them with clowns and baby animals because they still think you're still 8 years old (but y

We'll consider this one science-adjacent in one of my favorite disciplines, archaeology. Social science counts, right? A paper recently published in the journal Antiquity revolved around a hollowed out goat or sheep bone found in the Netherlands. Why would anyone make this sort of box? Why, to hide their hallucinogens, of course! Black henbane (also known lovingly as stinking nightshade) is technically a poisonous plant. According to the world-renowned source of Wikipedia, in ancient times it was often used in conjunction with other plants for either an anaesthetic (numbing or sleeping agent) and "magic potions" of the psychoactive variety. Modern examples of psychoactive drugs would be cocaine, cannabis, ecstasy, or Tylenol 3. Pliny the Elder documented its use in the Roman Empire, saying it was "of the nature of wine and therefore offensive to the understanding." Dioscorides was a little less harsh, recommending it as a sedative and pain reliever. So this

Everyone is a bit of a perv at Peckerwood Manor - you're not allowed inside otherwise! - but none more so than Benito The Bearded Dragon, and not just on Valentine's Day. Why, whenever the laundry room dryer is on the heavy duty cycle, you can bet that Benito's riding atop it. If you're missing your phone and it's on vibrate, you know where to find it. And that jiggly-hot AC compressor outside? A favorite spot for our debauched little dragon. In other words, Benito is all of us, we are all Benito; on Valentine's Day, and every day.  Meanwhile, cook is making Stuffed Pork Tenderloins with Bacon and Apple-Riesling Sauce, and a side Salade Lyonnaise for this holiday's luncheon. Do reserve your table - for either yourself and your companion, or yourself and Benito - because we're nearly full.
