I = had a great time riding a bike across Iowa last week. Except for that= one day with the 117-degree heat index, the rest of the time it was pretty= cool. I've now had enough pork chop on a stick to last me the rest o= f the year. I'd like to give a quick shout out to the three people I saw ro= llerblading the entire ~450-mile route, along with that one guy on a unicyc= le. And also to the US Air Force, who sent 103 riders to scour t= he route looking for people with flat tires. They couldn't help me wi= th mine (sidewall blew out), but they patched my friend's tire up three tim= es in two hours. Also, this week I learned that without public fundra= isers, apparently no town in Iowa would have fire engines. TotalFark= ers: I could use some help with a thing related to the upcoming Swear Jar f= eature. Link to be posted in TotalFark Discussion either later today = (Wednesday) or tomorrow. Normally I try to get these out the door earlier, = but I'm running behind on almost everything this week. On to some ot= her news: Dallan's travel schedule is getting too nuts to let him do the [Fark News Livestream](3D") on a regular basis. Anyone o= ut there interested in joining the team to help fill the gaps? Drop m= e a line (Drew at Fark), open to any thoughts/suggestions. _____________= ___________ We now return you to your usual Fark NotNewsletter. ________________________ Top Comments Some of the top-voted smartest and fu= nniest comments from the past week Funny: EnzoTh= eCoder speculated on [the or= igins of a disastrous rockslide that was caught on video](3D" Spa= rtapuss [mourned the death o= f ZZ Top's Dusty Hill](3D"=) Stantz answered a question a= bout [a new promo for "Ghostbusters: A= fterlife"](3D"=) Great_Milenko pointed out [the least realistic thing that happened on "Battles= tar Galactica"](3D") GreatGlavinsGhost's ["man thang" had a reaction to the vaccine](3D") UberDave explained [why = we can't fully trust vaccines](3D" grokca [knocked out a difficult project](3D") Nina9 = strong> considered [how dangerous it w= ould be for a hiker in Death Valley as temperatures reached 118 degrees](3D"http=)= gopher321 wasn't about to [take any crap from We Ate the Necco Wafers](3D" Ken S. pointed out that [someone apparently knew how to stay safe in a rockslide](3D" Smart: hubiestubert discussed [Simone Biles' decision to withdraw from some O= lympic events](3D") Side note= n>: [Here's an articl= e that explains "the twisties"](3D".=) = and why it's a dangerous condition that gymnasts can't just shake offKen S. pointed out that [someone apparently knew how to stay safe in a rockslide](3D" winedrinkingman talked about [how to identify the best cars to break into](3D" mofa= knew [why some people are s= o upset about masks](3D"https:/=) Irving Maimway explored possible reasons why the new Dune movie loo= ks so much like the 1984 Dune movie thealgorerhythm = > shared [a video with a fellow athlet= e discussing Simone Biles' decision to step back from some events](3D"=) markie_farkie appreciated [the silence of the asshole](3D" Barfmaker remember= ed [life before vaccine passports](3D"=) Politics Funny: SpectroBoy came up wit= h [the squad name for Matt Gaetz, Marj= orie Taylor Greene, Louis Gohmert and Paul Gosar](3D") gopher321 pictured [the holidays with = an insurrectionist uncle](3D"https=) Sliding Carp came up with= [a defense for a candidate for Pennsy= lvania governor who drove several miles after an accident with a motorcycle= stuck to the front of his car](3D") grokca made an obse= rvation about [a gun range that shut d= own after they declared they were "Muslim-free"](3D"https://w=) Candygram4Mo= ngo proved that [Donald Tru= mp was indeed meeting with his Cabinet](=3D" Politics Smart:bostonguy answered [Morgan Fairchild's question](3D" blastoh had some&nb= sp;[important information about people faki= ng mental health problems](3D") labman discussed [Dee Snider's explanation of why you should c= hoose to take it this time](3D") cheap_thoughts [helped a child obtain essential medical care](3D")Hey Nurse! shared [what it's like working in a hospital in Missouri](3D" Top Contest Entries Some of th= e top-voted contest entries from last week, listed from highest number of v= otes down Photoshops: whitebelly showe= d that [men can be monsters](3D"=) Herb Utsmelz [compared DNA s= amples](3D"=) derfiticulum made [art that looks back at you](3D") Wrongo had= [no idea what we were talking about= a> retrophil](3D")topped w= hipped cream with whipped topping RedZoneTuba show= ed us [why the first sketch artist dra= wing of the Unabomber was never released](3D".=) Yammering_Splat_Vec= tor discovered [a land whe= re dinosaurs roam](=3D" Kick The Chair made this into&nb= sp;[a happy little street](3D") re= trophil came across a stran= ge sight on the way to the Hotel California TWX ha= d [a way of keeping salespeople from c= oming to the door](3D") guestguy [did not impress this art critic](3D" Fartist Friday: [= Odes to our favorite refreshments](3D") medius [didn't feel like just writing about a glass of cold= lemonade](3D") This week's Fartist Friday theme, brought to = you by E-brake: For "Work Like A Dog" day, show = us what people-job your pet (or a pet you know) would be great at doing.

Any art medium allowed - photog= raphy, Photoshop, drawing, etc. Farktography: [Go With the Flow 3](3D") This one ended in a tie = between MorningBreath's [smoke and flame](3D" and spinach gunk's = [ducks in a row](3D") Fark Weird News Quiz (brought to you by= ox45tallboy) Another fun time on last week's = Quiz, although the 1000 club sits empty. Pity, too, I had rented a bouncy c= astle. On the Quiz itself, DrunkenGator came out on top wi= th 916, followed by Evildog in second with 902 and&nb= sp;bonzo.deep in third with 887. HighZoolande= r made fourth with 879, and richh99 rounds o= ut the top 5 with 871. The hardest question on the Hard Quiz was abo= ut National French Fry Day and who gets credit for bringing the dish to the= US in 1802. Well, in 1802, John Adams was President and so would not have = been a "guest" at the White House, Benjamin Franklin died in 1790, so that = leaves America's Ambassador to France at the time, Thomas Jefferson. He's a= lso credited with bringing other French foods like ice cream and macaroni &= amp; cheese here, as well as being the first major cultivator of tomatoes -= a fruit that most people back then believed was deadly because of its plac= e in the nightshade family. The easiest question on last week's Hard= Quiz was about what Ukranian crypto miners had figured out how to utilize = for their mining operation with a huge amount of stolen electricity in an o= ld warehouse. 80% of quiztakers knew they had managed to network some 3,800= PS4's and were powering them with over $250k /month of unmetered electrici= ty. Here's hoping this might inspire the console peasants to join the glori= ous PC master race in the fight against crypto bros hogging all the video c= ards. The hardest question on the EasyQuiz was about who wrote= and directed what most people consider to be one of the best movie sequels= ever made - "Aliens". Only 34% knew that this although Ridley Scott direct= ed the first, then up-and-comer James Cameron directed the sequel from his = own script. And yes, he's the guy that took "First Blood" and decided to ch= ange direction from a tragedy about a former soldier struggling with P= TSD to a former soldier giving other people PTSD, as he co-wrote "First Blo= od Part II". The easiest question on the Easy Quiz last week w= as about Zsa Zsa Gabor finally ending her world tour, which she embarked on= some five years ago following her death at the age of 99. 89% of quiztaker= s knew that her last husband laid her to rest in her native Budapest in Hun= gary. Well, three-fourths of her ashes, anyway. The other one-fourth will r= emain in her adopted home of Hollywood. Which I'm sure won't cause any issu= es if her spirit decides to haunt some place. If you missed out on l= ast week's Quiz, [you can catch up on the Fark Weird News Quiz= a> now that you know a few answers. Congratulations to the winners, and we'= ll do it all again this week.](3D"=) --------------------------------------------------------------- ([Fark.com](3D"") sent this newsletter emai= l to: {EMAIL}) To stop these emails, go to the Notifications tab of your [MyFark profile](3D"https:=) to change your subscription preferences.
