Wikipedia doesn't mention it, but dancing also led to this tragic incident:

In fairness, TR's wife and mother died on the same day. I feel like if anyone's ever had a reason to be depressed, that's pretty high on the list.

This is actually the second time disappearing penises have come up in Wiki Wormhole! I think it may have been the "best link" section of the Roman phalluses article.

I always just assume top-tier athletes have a trainer whose job it is to keep them from going within 500 yards of a Taco Bell.

My kids found a video that's just the ending to every Mario game, backwards. So in every game, Peach dumps Mario, ascends into a cage, Mario jumps for joy at his newfound freedom, then Bowser leaps up out of a pit of lava, eats some fireballs, and Mario chases him through a castle, rebuilding as he goes.

I only knew who those two were because MF Doom gives them a shoutout on Dangerdoom.

Dammit, you're absolutely right. I hope someone other than me gets fired for my blunder.

I understand why they used a lot of defunct brands as clients on Mad Men, but I love the (probably unintentional) throughline that a SCDP campaign is secretly the kiss of death. Burger Chef? Mohawk Airlines? Sno Ball? Glo-Coat Floor Wax? All gone! Brought down by the curse of Lane Pryce!

I thought Brooklyn was the only place with Chinese Mexican food!

Ain't it great? I get paid to do pretty much exactly what I'd do left to my own devices!

Thanks!

Krusty, we kept telling you this is an unmanned oil rig!

What gets lost in the gun violence debate is that, while mass shootings are on the rise, overall gun violence has been going steadily down since Clinton was president. (by an astonishing coincidence that can't possibly be related, the number of Americans who own guns has gone steadily down as well). In fact, other…

Coon Chicken was a real thing? Dear God. I assumed Ghost World made that up as a more-racist stand-in for Sambo's.

Is 2-for-1 pizza still going in Toronto?

Overexplaining also makes the transitions sing! I can't very well write, "Walt Disney… yadda yadda yadda… Darkwing!"

That's almost comically tragic. I don't know what this says about me, but I feel like the saddest part is someone winning one of the biggest sporting events in America and celebrating at a fast-food burger joint. Whatever LeBron did or didn't do after he won at the finals, I feel confident saying he didn't go to…

That's my lifelong frustration with Popeye's. Every food I love dearly, but of the lowest quality allowed by law.

Me too! I didn't even know it was a chain! I just remember my young mind being blown at the idea you could have things other than salad in a salad bar-like setup.

Don't know if this is endemic to the chain or just my local Chuck E. Cheese, but my wife took the kids there last year, and they had changed the skill games so that every single game gave you four tickets. Get 400 points a Skee-Ball? 4 tickets. 20 points at Skee-Ball? 4 tickets. We never took the kids there again.…
