Been a historic month with the landing of the Perseverance Rover on Mars. It’s mission, to look for signs of past microbial life, collect rock & soil samples, and, test technologies to help pave the way for future human exploration of Mars, cool!
Here’s a recap of what else has been going on. And, some bad jokes to go with it.
We started the month with Groundhog Day. Most prognosticators called for an early spring this year. Looking like 6 more weeks of lockdown though.
Wiarton Willie, also the name of the town’s most famous pornstar
In Nova Scotia, a copy of the book, "Doctor Doolittle" was returned to the library 82 years after it was checked out. The Librarian wasn’t impressed calling the effort to return it Doolittle Doolate.
A new law went into effect in Oregon, decriminalizing possession of all drugs. Up next, switching state names with New Mexico.
"Hustler" magazine founder Larry Flynt died at age 78. It's been half-mast for flags, and Hustler readers, in honour.
Flynt's funeral was held in Las Vegas at the Hustler Club. Including booze and strippers, it was open to the public with a $50 cover to get in. If there was ever a perfect plot for Hangover 4, this is it!
In Egypt, archeologists have uncovered an ancient beer factory. Fun fact: The cases of beer were stacked in a pyramid. –yep, there’s your bad dad joke of the month!!-
Releasing a final video called 'Epilogue', Daft Punk confirmed they are breaking up after 28 years. We made it to Mars, so their robot mission is complete.
Superbowl ratings were down this year, and the Daytona 500 was the least-viewed in the race's history. I blame social media, and no one having a decent attention span. Next year, get ready for the Daytona 50.
The house used as the home of Buffalo Bill in the 1991 movie "Silence of the Lambs" is being converted into a bed and breakfast. B&B slogan idea: “Silence, then some Eggs and Lamb”
The new Muppets Show on Disney Plus includes a disclaimer sighting the program features "stereotypes" and "mistreatment of people or cultures." Apparently the Swedish Chef translated, it’s nothing but hate speech
We also learned if Pebbles Flintstone was real, she would have turned 58 this month. My guess of her favourite band. The Rolling Stones.
Finally, Not wanted, yet, I gotta put 'em somewhere. Here’s some bad COVID jokes:
Chinese New Year arrived welcoming the ‘Year of the Ox’, ending the ‘Year of the Rat’ (should this be Bat?). Yep, 2020 found a way to last a little bit longer
According to the dating app, OK Cupid, August 1st will be "the hottest day for dating in 2021" in the U.K. This followed a government pledge to offer all UK adults the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by July 31st. Top pick up line this August ‘now you’ve got our shot, up for another little poke?!’
History fact, in 2011 it was announced Swiss Chalet TV was coming to Rogers cable
subscribers. 24/7 you could watch chickens roasting on a rotisserie. Updated pandemic idea: A channel just showing a regular evening crowd at a restaurant. Ratings would be huge!
One clothing maker has created the "Pajama Suit”. On Zoom it will appear as if you're wearing a business suit, meanwhile you are really wearing PJs. I say they market it like mullets, Business in front of the screen, pajamas out back.
Rat sightings in many cities around the world are up big time due to the pandemic. Mutant Turtle sightings, and pizza sales are also said to be skyrocketing.
