News that makes you say WTF?!?!

I’m sure it’s just a weird coincidence that the Denver Fox station reporting this is KDVR (say it out loud as a word).

St. Paul’s last strip club closes amid violence and fierce neighborhood opposition

More along the lines of misread or a poorly written headline. Eventually, I just said, “WTF?!?!” and posted it here.
What kind of neighborhood would put up violent, fierce opposition to a strip club closing? “But its our last one!!!1 We must save it!”

I misread it as St. Paul the person/church instead of St. Paul the city, so…

Isn’t that a classic joke?

Actually, the worlds funniest joke:

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, “My friend is dead! What can I do?” The operator says, “Calm down. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.” There is a silence; then a gun shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says, “OK, now what?”[4]

Not if you actually read the article.

Proven by science, as I recall.

I can’t read the article. It says it’s unavailable.

There’s a badly decaying oil tanker full of oil that’s been sitting basically abandoned off the coast of Yemen since 2015. The Houtis that control it have finally reached an agreement with the UN to allow the oil to be pumped out to another vessel before a catastrophe happens. This thing is an ecological and humanitarian disaster waiting to happen.

In the event that the front falls off, could they just tow the ship out beyond the environment?

Seriously, I’ve never heard of this until now. That is a LOT of oil sitting there waiting to spill out.

I hadn’t heard of it before now either. It’s nuts that it’s taken this long to resolve what appears to be a ticking time bomb. It could be orders of magnitude worse than the Exxon Valdez spill if that ship breaks up.

I know I have read about it before and since I got much of my news from the AO, I’d guess it showed up there at some point. Could have even been in the News that makes you say WTF thread.

Will Smith hits Chris rock at Oscars then tells him keep my wife’s name out you effin mouth. Rock handles it like a champ.
I wish rock would’ve gone full stand-up comedian on Smith though.

I feel so bad for Chris Rock. He’ll find a way to make light of it I hope.
