A story I find weird enough, that broke about 5 years ago. Finding out now because with Netflix announcing their follow up to their Dahmer crime-drama with a high-production series focusing on the Menendez Brothers murdering their parents, this detail started floating around again:

Wikipedia with further details: "The Menéndez brothers are seen in the background of the 1990–1991 NBA Hoops' Mark Jackson basketball card in which the New York Knicks point guard is seen making a bounce pass and they appear to be sitting courtside behind Jackson. In December 2018, eBay began terminating any auctions in which they are mentioned in the listing. The New York Knicks played 28 games during the period when the Menéndez brothers went on a spending spree after the murders of their parents. Some eBay sellers have continued to sell the card and have also altered the images accompanying the listing so that the Menéndez brothers are neither mentioned in the listing nor seen in photos of the card accompanying the listing."

This was my go to basketball cards growing up, I probably have no less than 5 of those Mark Jackson cards.

This video shows the bizarre looking sight of a hyena walking on two legs. We spotted this hyena for the first time nearly a year ago, as seen in this previous video https://rumble.com/v1h0owx-safari-touri ... -legs.html While hyenas have a reputation of being scary looking and dangerous animals, they are for sure some of the toughest animals out in the African bush. Hyenas are the main scavengers of the African bush and the number one enemy of lions. It was during a recent safari that we came across this bizarre looking hyena, walking around on two legs. What made this sighting even more special was that we spotted the same hyena almost a year ago. I was really amazed and happy to know that the hyena was still alive, still surviving on its own and doing fine, despite of its disability. Surviving in a hostile environment such as the African bush is remarkable for an animal that can’t even use all four its legs to hunt or run away from danger. This hyena very well knows what danger is. The hyena lost the function of its two back legs after it got attacked by a lion, leaving its hips and two back legs in a paralyzed state. The hyena had no other choice but to adapt and so it learned how to walk in such a strange looking manner. This is not something you see often out in the African wild. We can only hope that this hyena will keep going and survive out in the wild on its own.

lol! Obvious AI generated article is obvious. Unfortunate for Mr. Kramer however.



Dennis Kramer handed away on Sunday night on the age of 31. He misplaced his life because of the accidents sustained in a harrowing automobile accident in Gottingen. Native authorities, as reported by a number of sources in Germany, have acknowledged that Kramer didn’t survive the accident.

A number of German golf equipment shared within the mourning with posts on social media platforms. In the identical context, the German Basketball Federation, DBB, pledged to honor his reminiscence.

Sounds sorta like it should have been about a Nigerian Prince needing help ex-patriating his inheritance.

Or binge watching fox news

Turns out the guy has a history of mental issues.

If it has a top, it's an aquarium. If it doesn't have a top it's a swimming pool.

Just heard that on a TV the wife and I were watching a few nights ago. Think it was The Good Doctor where a lonely patient was prattling on to the staff about her husband.

And before anyone poses the question: Yes, it is proper to refer to a collection of kangaroos as a Mob.
