In 1936 part-time inventor Anton Loibl, a Nazi, and Hitler’s chauffeur, invented bicycle reflectors. The SS went into business with him. The Nazis then brought in traffic laws requiring all bicycles to have reflectors, creating a cash windfall for the SS.

Computers at a soviet train station would randomly bug out and no one knew why. One guy eventually traced it to when livestock was being brought in from Ukraine, where Chernobyl left the cows with so much radiation they could flip bits.

In the 1800’s, Americans drank, on average, 90 bottles of whiskey per year, or 1.7 bottles per week. This was because at the time, whiskey was sold at twenty-five cents a gallon, making it cheaper than wine, beer, tea, coffee and even milk.

The book called “The Secret (treasure hunt)” contains 12 cryptic paintings associated with 12 cryptic riddles you must decipher in order to dig up a key to the loot buried around the U.S. and Canada. Through the end of 2019, only three of the 12 loot boxes have been found.

I have a friend who totally dismisses The Simpsons and refuses to watch it because he says “It’s a cartoon…”.
But he watches a ton of reality TV bullshit, so who knows what’s going on in his head…
I’ve tried to explain to him over and over again that The Simpsons is funny (of course), but that it’s also very clever and the show sometimes says a lot about current events and even politics in a very subtle way.
One of the best ways they do this is with the many signs you can see around Springfield during different episodes.
Here are 14 hilarious and clever signs that you might have missed on The Simpsons.
There’s no stopping it now.

Many places around the world have enacted lockdowns and it hasn’t been easy for people to adapt to.
Some people have tried sneaky methods to get out of their homes, like this guy from Spain who dressed up as a T-Rex.

His local police department said about this outing:
“During the state of emergency one person is allowed to take their pets out for a walk in short spurts so they can take care of their needs.
This doesn’t include allowances for people who have a T-Rex complex.”
Needless to say, governments, public health officials, and even celebrities are doing their part to make sure people understand that they need to stay home, unless they meet qualifications that warrant an exception for them.
Samuel L. Jackson decided to be just one of the many voices helping people understand that quarantines aren’t vacations. Staying home can help flatten the curve and make sure that hospitals aren’t overwhelmed with people who are sick.
He went on Jimmy Kimmel, who is also forced to work from home because of the circumstances.

The segment was actually a remix of a previously viral video titled “Go The F*ck to Sleep.”

After a lovely chat with Kimmel, Samuel L. Jackson began reading from a book called “Stay the F*ck at Home.” The expletive-ridden segment was a hit.
Samuel L. Jackson’s reading was part of an effort to fundraise for Feeding America, a charity that works to make sure hungry families and communities are fed.

You can check out the full video below.
What did you think of the reading? Will it be effective in making sure people try to make the best of their quarantine?

It’s hard to be optimistic about humanity. Whether it’s because of stories you hear on the news, tragic events, and life in general, we’re all a little pessimistic.
But there are still good people out there, and this pandemic hasn’t stopped them from engaging in random acts of kindness. Here are some people who are going out of their way to do nice things for others.
The staff helped her out as well!
He managed to practice social distancing in the process.

Like most of us, Saturday Night Live is working from home.
Their latest episode is a Saturday Night Live at Home version featuring the “Live from New York, It’s Saturday Night” cast in a Zoom format coming at us from the actors’ home living room offices/studios.

One of the segments was a hilarious update on what our favorite martial-arts devoted terrapins have been up to since they are no longer teen-aged. Spoiler alert: they no longer live in New York sewers.
Since reaching their fully matured adulthood, the Mutant Teenage Ninja Turtles have settled nicely in their spacious suburban homes. City living is for the more energetic youngsters. In the ‘burbs, there’s plenty of parking at the Whole Foods for Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael when they shop for their health foods to make up for all that marshmallow cereal they ate during their teen years.
But all is not boxed wine and Yard-of-the-Month sign roses out there. Marriages are becoming stale, their kids are spoiled brats and the ol’ waistline just keeps getting bigger.
And crime would be easier to fight without all this worry about medical tests and paying debt. Golf is an expensive hobby, especially if you’re not that good.
Oh, and Shredder is dead. Should they got to the funeral? No, but maybe the wake. That seems more appropriate.

I like to read church signs even if it’s not in front of my own. I like to see who’s coming to speak or what programming is scheduled. The verses make me mindful.
And, when they get topical, they are sometimes really funny.

Church serves as a faith home for many of us and it’s nice when they acknowledge our thirst and fears in a way we can see it safely–from our cars. But one day soon, we’ll come together in our sanctuaries again as a family, loving our neighbors but listening to our doctors and scientists.
That’s how to be a loving neighbor.

Herbie is a charming hedgehog who is also an Instagram star that has many adventures and makes social media a better place. If Herbie wasn’t adorable enough for you, then you have to meet his sister and pal, a Bengal kitten named Audree.
Audree became part of the Mr. Pokee family last year and has settled in nicely. Although Audree is quite a bit bigger than Herbie, it hasn’t stopped them from becoming best friends and having entirely too much fun.
They have some things in common. Both of them can be hand-held.
They both love Disney movies, because their friendship is basically already one.
Even movies about… wait for it… hedgehogs!
They support each other through good times and bad.
Kitten-hedgehog boops are guaranteed in this family. And so are trips to Paris, France… apparently.
High-paws too. And I’m officially dead from the cuteness overload.
Their Christmas card was too cute for words.
Audree even has her own Herbie doll for when they’re apart.
Their friendship grew over the seasons.
It’s clear they’ve fallen for each other. Look at that damn hedgehog smile! Squeeeeee!!!!
They love to travel together.
They like to see the world.
With some time to relax.
And have some fun the only way animal pals can do!
Visit their webpage for more information on these adorable friends.
In the meantime, Herbie and Audree continue to have awesome times together as “The World’s Cutest Adventurers” as they hope to make us happy, smile and never lose faith.
So sweet!
