Things I learned over the weekend

 

. Men like women in leather dresses. They smell like new trucks.

. Donald Trump currently weighs 272 pounds. The New York Times coverage of Trump is deep.

. "Babygirl" is a term of endearment for men--when a man is being cute, comfortable in his masculinity or weak in an evocative way. It was used in The Last of Us. And Oprah probably says it.

. Humpty Dumpty had paschaphobia, a fear of Easter. The infamous egg is known as Boule Boule in French, Lille Trille in Swedish and Norwegian and Hempelken Pumpelken in Germany.

. Florida governor Ron DeSantis was actually married at Disney World. So I guess it wasn't that gay.

. Grace, a one-eyed snapping turtle, has been missing from Haliburton for two years. She is 125 years old and ugly as shit. (Story)

. National Public Radio (NPR) has stopped tweeting because Elon Musk labeled it "government funded" media. The same label is on the BBC account. For the CBC, nada.

. My toaster sez there's no need to worry about Artificial Intelligence. Its app claims there's a brand new decimal for pi. It looks wrong.

. The plastic Jet Bomber and Motorized Patrol Boat toys from The A Team are worth more to collectors than any of the series characters. The plastic doll of Mr. T is worth the least.

. Netflix Remorse is a psychiatric disorder. Did you binge all 10 episodes of Beef and wish you had stopped at six, before it jumped the shark? If you watch more than two episodes of The Night Agent, you definitely have it.

. Andre the Giant once drank 156 beers in one sitting--14 to 16 gallons. The WWF wrestler was 7'4 and 520 pounds. His bar tab while shooting The Princess Bride was $40,000.
