Whether it’s annoying or not, that music that pours through our earbuds or speakers on our phones while we’re on hold is something we expect. Sometimes it’s classical, sometimes it’s jazzy. Even if we’re enjoying it we long for it to end so we can hear that human voice return to help out us. Still it pacifies us a bit as hold music is still better than complete silence and that’s it’s point. So thank goodness this fluke happened or we may not have on-hold music at all. According to the Weird Facts website, it’s all because of a loose wire and a faulty phone line connection. A loose wire touchi...

This could be taking the term “die-hard fan” a little too far. A regent for the University of Nebraska, Barbara Weitz, has proposed an idea to raise money for the school by selling spots in a burial columbarium underneath the football stadium. This idea would allow super fans to have their ashes inurned at the field. Memorial Stadium, the 85,000 seat home stadium of the Nebraska Cornhuskers, is set for a renovation in 2025 that will cost an estimated $450 million. Weitz floated the idea of allowing fans a shot at getting a final resting place underneath the stadium — for a fee. The school is c...

You’ve heard of not wearing white to a wedding or a bridal shower, but this woman’s friend on Reddit took that rule to the next level when she kicked the woman out of her baby shower for the same offense. “I (29f) have been friends ‘Claire’ (28f) since high school. We have a small group of friends that has stayed close since then,” the woman explained in her post. She said that Claire threw a baby shower recently. “I wore a white and blue floral sundress. I didn’t think anything of it because, as far as I know, white is only inappropriate for bridal events,” the woman said. After arriving at t...

A comedian was attacked on stage during his set in Madrid, Spain, after he traded nasty words with another man on social media. It all started when Alberto Pugilato, a right-wing activist and musician, shared a photo his 3-month-old baby via X (formerly Twitter), captioning the post, “happy and blessed.” Comedian Jaime Caravaca commented on the post, writing, “Nothing and no one can prevent the possibility that he is gay and when he grows up he gets tired of sucking black c–k.” See the tweet, here: Caravaca quickly deleted his tweet, but not before Pugilato saw it. “He deleted the tweet, but I...

She explained that originally she did not include her sister in the wedding because they are “not very close” but her sister was “upset” to be excluded. “I decided...

Driving along the countryside and coming across a bright, red, beautiful barn is enough to make you want to pull over a grab a photo of quintessential Americana. If I had a barn I’d want it to be fire engine red, too because that feels and looks so traditional. However, those beautifully bright red barns we see aren’t the true, original red because it wasn’t simply red paint when paint didn’t exist yet. Burnt orange red is actually the real red if you want to be specific according to the How Stuff Works website. You see, according to How Stuff Works, European farmers would seal the wood on the...

It all depends on certain exceptions that are state by state. So in order for states to receive certain types of federal funding according to Alchohol.org, each mush adhere to the National Minimum Drinking Age Act however each state can have exceptions to this law when it comes to minors drinking and the four main ones are the following: Parent/...

It was one of our biggest fears in the 1980s. The urban legend that any time any of us could be walking on grass and suddenly get sucked into the ground by random quicksand. If you’re a child of the 80s you know what I’m talking about. Even if our parents told us that quicksand only exists in the jungles of Africa, we all treaded lightly while playing our backyards or avoiding sandboxes that we used to love. It happened at a popular, stunning New England beach in Phippsburg, Maine about an hour outside Portland. A summer vacation haven at it’s best but maybe not so much for this woman anymore....
