Episode 46 | This Comic Has No Object Permanence

McDonald’s chief marketing officer Paul Schrage only stipulated that he wanted a two-part Super Bowl commercial that promoted the Big Mac and featured the immensely popular Jordan as a celebrity pitchman.
Copywriter Jim Ferguson and art director Bob Shallcross, then the top creative team at Leo Burnett Worldwide, bounced ideas off one-another for days before the premise of a shooting contest dawned on them. In the award-winning spot, Bird challenges Jordan to match him shot for physics-defying shot with a Big Mac and fries at stake.
“It was a very simple idea, but what you...
Episode 45 | Uncle Chuck is SUS

In archaeology, cave paintings are a type of parietal art (which category also includes petroglyphs, or engravings), found on the wall or ceilings of caves…Discussion around prehistoric art is important in understanding the history of Homo sapiens and how human beings have come to have unique abstract thoughts.

Steve Irwin provided his voice for the animated film Happy Feet, as an elephant seal named Trev. The film was posthumously released in November 2006, and it was dedicated to Irwin, as he died during post-production two months prior.[72] Another, previously incomplete scene, featuring Irwin providing the voice of an albatross and essentially playing himself, was restored to the DVD release.[73]Archie Comics' Sonic The Hedgehog #3100:00 Intro06:29 A Robot Rides the Rails Part One13:47 A Robot Rides the Rails Part Two20:38A Robot Rides the Rails Part Three40:59 Lots...and Found!

Raising of Chicago: During the 1850s and 1860s, engineers carried out a piecemeal raising of the grade of central Chicago to lift the city out of its low-lying swampy ground.

1995-1997: The Freedom Fight (https://thankskenpenders.tumblr.com/readingorder)
Albert Speer was a German architect who served as Minister of Armaments and War Production in Nazi Germany during most of World War II. After the war, Speer was among the 24 "major war criminals" charged by the International Military Tribunal for Nazi atrocities. Speer had carefully constructed an image of himself as an apolitical technocrat who deeply regretted having failed to discover the monstrous crimes of the Third Reich. He was found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity, principally for the use of slave labor, narrowly...

Episode 39 | Houston is the TurboTax of Cities

Houston is considered an automobile-dependent city, with an estimated 77.2% of commuters driving alone to work in 2016.[327] A commuting study estimated the median length of commute in the region was 12.2 miles (19.6 km) in 2012.[330] A 1999 Murdoch University study found Houston had both the lengthiest commute and lowest urban density of 13 large American cities surveyed.[332] Harris County is one of the largest consumers of gasoline in the United States, ranking second (behind Los Angeles County) in 2013.[333]

Episode 33 | Continent In The Sky, I Can Punch Twice As High PART 2

Knuckles saves a baby kangaroo (Joey) and talks to himself. Also, the first report of the Surgeon General's Advisory Committee on Smoking and Health was released in 1964. It was a landmark first step to diminish the impact of tobacco use on the health of the American people. Over the course of more than 40 years, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Office on Smoking and Health has been responsible for 35 reports on the health consequences of smoking.00:00 Intro07:26 Fire Drill31:02 Lord of the Floating Island 45:27 Sonicgrams58:59 OutroArchie Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic & Knuckles Special-----Gotta Talk Fast is an oral review...

Episode 30 | Sonic Attempts Hate Crimes And Punches A Woman

The Romani people, also known as the Roma, are an Indo-Aryan ethnic group[74][75][76] who traditionally lived a nomadic, itinerant lifestyle. Linguistic and genetic evidence suggests that the Romani people originated in the Indian subcontinent, in particular the region of Rajasthan.[77] Although they are widely dispersed, their most concentrated populations are believed to be in Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, Serbia and Slovakia.[85][86][87] Romani slaves were first shipped to the Americas with Columbus in 1498.[94] Spain sent Romani slaves to their Louisiana colony between 1762 and 1800.[95] An Afro-Romani community exists in St. Martin Parish due to intermarriage between freed African American and Romani slaves.[96...
Episode 29 | Does The Castle Doctrine Apply If It's SWATBots?

A castle doctrine, also known as a castle law or a defense of habitation law, is a legal doctrine that designates a person's abode or any legally occupied place (for example, an automobile or a home) as a place in which that person has protections and immunities permitting one, in certain circumstances, to use force (up to and including deadly force) to defend oneself against an intruder, free from legal prosecution for the consequences of the force used.[1] The term is most commonly used in the United States, though many other countries invoke comparable principles in their laws.

Episode 26 | Bri'ish Pepé Le Pew Gets Jumped By A Stuttering Pig

The Double-Cross System, or XX System, was a World War II counter-espionage and deception operation of the British Security Service (MI5). Nazi agents in Britain – real and false – were captured, turned themselves in or simply announced themselves, and were then used by the British to broadcast mainly disinformation to their Nazi controllers. Its operations were overseen by the Twenty Committee under the chairmanship of John Cecil Masterman; the name of the committee comes from the number 20 in Roman numerals: "XX" (i.e. a double cross).
The policy of MI5 during the war was initially to use the syst...

Episode 23 | Wayer Paster Cooler

Nicholas Folkerts (1991-2031) was an American businessman, professional golf player, and Sonic The Hedgehog comics enthusiast who founded Gotta Talk Fast, Inc, a media empire that would go on to absorb Viacom, Comcast, Disney, TimeWarner, and US Steel at the height of its power. The much-publicized 2030 bankruptcy case directly led to his drug-fueled death during a New Years orgy that professional adult video critic The Porn Dude called "the greatest game ever played." He is survived by his adopted sister Dominic Guanzon. For more information, read the following stories:
