Does anyone else binge Buzzfeed:Unsolved on YouTube? I know buzzfeed as a whole is pretty hit or miss, but this one is fantastic.

I have never read anything scarier than this. Seen some documentaries on it as well. Just...

Bruh.

"It is undisputed that six of the nine hikers died of hypothermia. However, others in the group appear to have acquired additional clothing (from those who had already died) which suggests that they were of a sound enough mind to try to add layers."

That’s one of the weirdest ones ever.

 

[Jumptheshark]

the fact that the curse of oak island is still on tv is an interesting legend.

mostly because it is complete crap--the curse or legend of Oak Island was always based upon wannabes telling stories. Everytime over the last 60 years (the Oak Island crap has been going on for awhile and I first heard about it in the 1970's) that whomever owns that Island makes a statement, historian easily disprove it.

The creation of the coronavirus....

It's all Winnipeg's fault.

They made it, sold to/got stolen by China for warfare reasons.

Got "leaked" in Wuhan.

Plot twist...some of the people associated to the lab in Winnipeg were on the flight from the Ukraine that was shot down over Iran a few months back.

I miss George and his tin brimmed callers. Drex is ok but george was way more fun.
Since there is nothing to watch on the tube here is a decent movie. I remember watching this one on peasantvision back in the day. Fitting in the moment.
