Best use of duct tape ever
I received a gift in the mail last week from a former student. Here it is. At first I thought that she has simply seen the Patriots logo, been aware of the versatile nature of duct tape and decided it … Continue reading
Most unbelievable trade in the history of mankind. This is not hyperbole.
This is nothing more than a few paragraphs lifted from a Wikipedia article about former major league pitcher Fritz Peterson and his teammate, Mike Kekich. It’s so incredible and unbelievable that it required restatement here. Just try to imagine what … Continue reading
