    ❿ Sticky, Gooey, World Record!-

    the other day, on National S'mores Day, the folks at Smoresapalooza
    were officially awarded a Guinness World Record for most people S'moring
    at the same time...- 891 people in Grapevine,
    Texas put Graham Wafers, chocolate,  and toasted marshmallows together
    to make this record... so sticky... yes delicious,  but so darn sticky!
    #heroes- btw, they used 500 fire pits to do this b/c everybody had to do their own s'more at the same time.. See www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/hundreds-in-texas-combine-to-break-smores-related-guinness-world-record/3314230/%3famp=1 ❾ The Canadian Amateur Safe Cracker and the 75 year old safe...-
    This bookstore in Baltimore had an old old safe without a
    combination...  they couldn't get into it and of course they wanted
    to... if you have a 75 year  old safe and you DON'T want to get that
    thing open, you might be a psychopath *consult your physician*.- the bookstore put the challenge out on social media... "Hey safe crackers, we've got one for ya" (paraphrase)...-
    a fella named Rick from Winnipeg who is a lock-picking and
    safe-cracking enthusiast (not a professional) did some crowdfunding and
    had enough money to travel to Baltimore within three or four days... so
    Rick got to go and try what a bunch of other safe crackers tried and
    failed at... and he got the safe open!-
    the deal from the bookstore was that you could split whatever was
    inside the safe 50/50... but it turned out that the only thing in there
    was a pay stub from the 1920s- I get the feeling it was never about the treasure for Rick, it was about the adventure... See the CBC report 
    https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2255109187975 ❽ Riding a bicycle backwards for 500 miles is not impossible? *citation needed-
    Hoops Hooper at UPI filed this one the other day... a guy from Alaska
    who can ride his bike backwards needed more of a challenge, I guess, and
    so he entered a 500 mile bicycle race and did the whole thing riding
    backwards!- they think that's a world record, now we just wait for the folks at Guinness World Records to make it official...-
    byw, his name is Walker... Will Walker... but he bicycles...
    backwards... idk why that's messing with me but it is... a guy named
    Walker who is famous for a 500 mile race but he didn't walk it... or use
    a walker, that also would've made more sense to me... See www.upi.com/amp/Odd_News/2023/08/10/Guinness-World-Records-distance-cycling-backward-RAGBRAI/5631691686278/ ❼ The Butter Cow of the Illinois State Fair...- this was picked up by a lot of news sources and I'm glad because I had never heard of the Illinois Butter Cow before...-
    If you're like me and extremely disappointed in yourself because you
    are only now learning of the Butter Cow phenomenon, let's promise each
    other that we'll live each day to the fullest from now on, OK?-
    according to MyStateLine.com, "The Butter Cow has been a tradition at
    the Illinois State Fair since the 1920s. This year’s edition was created
    by sculptor Sarah Pratt, and can be viewed via a webcam housed within
    its refrigerated display." (See link below.)-
    I don't know art, but I know what I love... and it's 800 pounds of
    delicious buttery goodness made to look like a glorious cow.See www.mystateline.com/news/800-pound-butter-cow-sculpture-unveiled-at-illinois-state-fair/amp/ and the webcam at https://statefair.illinois.gov/info/webcams/buttercow.html ❻ Live Frog in Package of Spinach! -
