The small children next door just figured out their mom can’t hear them out here and they went from tentatively saying “what the hell” and glancing nervously at the house to screaming “WHAT THE HELL” as they bounce on the trampoline

There once was a Prof
At Purdue whose #limericks
Looked like #haiku. He

Said with a laugh, "I

I have also been reunited with The Fishboi, good luck to anyone who tries to steal him out of my yard because he is the actual heaviest thing in the world

"An Indigenous opera singer is bringing back his community's traditions and songs...

The classically-trained tenor used wax cylinder recordings of his ancestors singing in the early 1900s, which had been locked away in the national archive for decades.

Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa — translated as "Songs of the River People" — is sung entirely in Wolastoqey, a language fewer than 100 people speak."
