10 New Research says the dirtiest place in your bathroom is - of all tings? the towel rack? But that's where I put my towel? Exactly. Bacteria from your damp towel causes the towel rack to win the Dr. Dirty's Award of Filthiness. (https://www.studyfinds.org/dirtiest-part-of-bathroom-towel-rack/)

9 Follow up to a story we had last year... the guy who invented Jelly Belly candies did a treasure hunt for someone to win a candy factory... well, the guy who won it was in the news the other day because he has decided to not take over the candy factory... they gave him a cash payment instead... (https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/09/20/andrew-maas-gold-ticket-competition/?fbclid=IwAR1844r7xdB44r_F6q54yZ0lac4up_To18c41DTTU8_FyVSi7YJfeHvE_ps)

8 That Lunchables shortage because of the lousy stinkin pandemic.  The Lunchables folks are working hard to keep the supply chain rolling, but there are some places with shortages. You never want a Lunchable more than when they say you can't have one, so this is hitting hard you guys. My understanding is that when supplies run low because of the pandemic, it usually boils down to not as many people working at the factory, or supplies aren't shipping as fast as usual because the trucking industry is swamped. I tried to make my own Lunchable with crackers, cheese, luncheon meat, and a teeny tiny chocolate bar, at a fraction of the price of an actual Lunchable... but it just wasn't the same... (https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/consumer/lunchables-shortage-kids-favorite-missing-from-some-stores/2804146/)

7 That teacher who got trending because the class took a field trip on the StrippaBus (copyright 2021 Weird Week Enterprises). There's a school bus driver shortage in a lot of places because of lousy stinkin Covid, so the class had to take whatever bus rental was available, and it happened to be one of those party buses with the stripper poles. The teacher was like "demand more money for the school system!" but the kids were like "this is the coolest bus we've been on! and it smells like Palm Bay coolers!"

4 The guy who stole the horse and tried to hide it in his bedroom... (https://www.newser.com/story/309855/man-arrested-after-deputies-find-horse-in-house.html) This is a bunk bed situation.

3 New study: your metabolism isn't slowing down like you think it is... (https://nypost.com/2021/08/13/metabolism-doesnt-slow-down-in-middle-age-shocking-study/) I need to find something else to blame my dad bod on.
