Things I learned lately 16 Oct

  • Remember how the US closed its border with China? Yeah, that never actually happened. Flights have been arriving in the US without pause.

  • Broadway is shut down now until at least May 2021.
  • Burger King tried a bacon ice cream sundae in 2012.
  • McDonald's tried onion nuggets in the 1970s.
  • McDonald's sells McSpaghetti in the Philippines.
  • I may be wrong, but I think there are only spelling bees in English.
  • Only when you wear a face mask for a while do you begin to realize just how much your breath smells. Also, when you eat something with a strong smell, like garlic, then put the mask back on. Hoo boy!
  • The Rolling Stones had to censor their song, "Let's Spend the Night Together", when they went on Ed Sullivan's show in 1967. They had to change the lyric to "let's spend some time together", but Mick Jagger rolled his eyes each time this line was sung in protest. Other artists were told they had to change lyrics to perform on the popular show as well. Ed Sullivan asked the Doors to take out the offensive word 'higher' while performing "Light My Fire." Jim Morrison did no lyric altering. The Doors were promptly banned from the program.
