Vegas Riches There is this very surprisingly rich performer who works the streets in Las Vegas. All he does is play drums that are made out of empty five gallon plastic buckets. But his tip hat is always overflowing with large bills. Dangers In Childhood https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/May30Loop.mp4 There’s a new theory that age […]
Center Of The Universe
Big Bang One cool thing about the Universe is why every person on every planet on the Universe can legitimately claim they are the center of the Universe. Since from every point space, you would measure all other points in the universe expanding equally in all directions. A cool metaphor to describe this […]
Blue Book Chaos
Too Smart To Study I saw an interview by a professor who’d written a book based on the best attempts he’d seen at cheating. The best one, according to him, was a guy that showed up with two blue books, for an essay test. He spent the entire time writing a letter to […]

Cheese Empire Origins
Cheese Eater I have this friend who absolutely loves cheese. For the longest time, he would rave rant and tell anybody who would listen about this fantastic new cheese that he’d found.
