No [Fark News Livestream](3D"=) this week! I got caught i= n air travel hell the past two days, so I didn't get a chance to start on m= aterial until today. However this is great news for next week as I'll= have a couple extra days in the hopper. Speaking of air travel hell= , I hadn't traveled in three years before last week. I almost forgot = entirely how to do it. I'd also heard all the stories about how helli= sh airports have been. Turns out I got really lucky on the way out and had = zero problems. On the way back, however, pretty much everything turne= d upside down. Airline had only two check-in folks, plane got cancell= ed after a long wait, had to do it all again a second day. They tried to cl= aim it was mechanical, but I'm suspicious about that because 1) I didn't se= e anyone working on the plane, and 2) there were no pilots either. Bu= t whatever, it was a good trip. Beat the hell out of driving. I will = say though the number of unmasked people having coughing fits literally eve= rywhere was very unnerving. Looks like COVID tests for the rest of th= e week for me. To my knowledge I haven't had COVID yet. If this= last weekend didn't give it to me, I don't know what would. ___________= _____________ End Drew transmission________________________ Top Comments Some of the top-voted smartest and fun= niest comments from the past week Funny: Bootleg= gave us [the truth about a = brawl that broke out at a San Antonio River Walk restaurant just in time fo= r a full tour boat to witness it](3D"http=) Karma Chameleon w= as upset about [one movie's inclusion = on a list of films with the best opening scenes](3D"https://=) Feel_the_vel= vet found [an older photo of= a very bulbous house](3D"htt=) Harry Freakstorm pointed out= that [markie_farkie = didn't speak for everyone when it came to an explosion and fire at the Hoo= ver Dam](3D".=) BigMax offered to [help when there was an explosion in the garage of pow= hound's childhood home](3D") Prank Call of Cthulhu = ong> [asked us out on an LDS date](3D") NobleHam discovered [a= hidden benefit for the buyer of a corpulent house that's for sale](3D" iheartscotch [got in tro= uble with the people who are trying to reach you about your car's warranty Mr. Coffee Nerves](=3D" out some surprising information about a lot of coworkers](3D" Hey Nurse! knew [the = real cause of the Hoover Dam fire](3D" Smart: Poc= ket Ninja [shared a clever and un= ique life hack](3D"https://=) Martian_Astronomer figured [it's best to keep things in perspective when = setting your thermostat](3D") Elliot8654 looked at = [what happens when you have few restriction= s on guns](3D") snocone explained [why it's a good idea for a school district to require stud= ents use clear backpacks](3D") chewd let us know [which type of lottery players we don't want = to wait behind](3D") NeoCortex42 named [two inimitable musicians](3D") CSB Sunday Mor= ning theme: [Bicycle stories](3D"https:=) Smart: Winterlight's [wildest dreams came true](3D") Funny: Cafe Threads figured out [this one weird trick for getting a kid to stop looking at their front tir= e](3D" Politics Funny: Jesus McSordid wished Alex Jones had been right about the = plan wademh showed us [the one text message turned over by the Secret Service for the = investigation into January 6](3D" HighOnCraic described= [how other Democrats could campaign m= ore like John Fetterman](3D") clintster figured out = ;[why some asshat who was upset that PetS= mart had a rainbow flag claimed it's used by groomers](3D") Shosti= e provided [the only answer = you should ever give if strangers come to your home asking how you voted in= the 2020 election](3D"ht=) Politics Smart: markie_fa= rkie took some guesses at [w= hat the Secret Service could be hiding](3D" NewportBarGuy = g> discussed [our devolution](3D"=) Felgraf felt that [wom= en having miscarriages being made to suffer more because of anti-abortion l= aws is a symptom of something larger](3D" hubiestubert = looked at [a conservative group that's= attempting to take over school boards](3D"=) Rene ala Carte = ng> made some [predictions about the f= uture](3D"https://w=) Top Contest Entrie= s Some of the top-voted contest entries from last week Photoshops: RedZoneTuba created [a video game set in an oppressive theocracy= a> samsquatch found out](3D")[there can be only one figurine](3D" noazark was= ready to [fight some stars](3D"=) RedZoneTuba had [Pooty-= Poot model some fashionable sunglasses](3D" noazark cre= ated [a racing game](3D"=) Red= ZoneTuba showed us that [Leo= nardo DiCaprio is surprisingly fast](3D" noazark knew&n= bsp;[how Yul get your laundry really Clean noazark had](3D")[the wrong chess pieces](3D" RedZoneTuba [restored this classic self portrait](3D") Wron= go spotted [hecklers at the = ballet](3D"ht=) Farktography theme: [Windows on the World](3D") This Farktography ended in a t= ie with [a curious pup](3D"=) from Herb Utsmelz and [an = Irish sunrise](3D" from SoupGuru Fark Headlines of the Week A s= election of some of the top headlines from last week [Our house, in the middle of the street](3D") [P.E.I.-N.S. ferry evacuated after fire, causing dyslexic Fa= rkers a good giggle or two](3D") [Critically endangered = ugly-ass baby Addax makes debut at zoo.

I LIKE TO MOOVE IT, MOOVE IT](3D") Fark Weird News Quiz (brought to you by ox45= tallboy) Another fun time on this week's Quiz, although&nbs= p;it looks like it was a little on the hard side. No one made it to the 100= 0 club, which means I get all the maple bacon ice cream to myself. englaja came out on top with 916, followed by se= elorq in second with 914 and bud jones in th= ird with 912. opalakea made fourth with 906, and = ;Denjiro rounds out the top five with 896, The hard= est question on last week's Hard Quiz was about which London airport was fo= rced to close due to the high temperatures literally causing the runways to= melt. Only 14% of quiztakers knew that Luton in the north of London suffer= ed this indignity. It seems that continuously delayed plans for lengthening= the runway over the last few decades have resulted in continuously delayed= necessary maintenance and updating of the runway materials. Personally, I = blame Brexit. The easiest question on the Hard Quiz was about = where you could find the mountain that apparently now four people have felt= the need to push a peanut to the summit of using only their noses. 93% of = quiztakers knew that Pikes Peak was in Colorado, just a bit outside of Colo= rado Springs. Personally, I think it's a cheap victory - after all, a peanu= t isn't going to roll back down very far if you miss it with a nose prod. M= aybe try a marble or something if you want to impress people. = The hardest question on last week's Easy Quiz was about the official nation= al drink of Canada. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a snow cone with = maple syrup, but a beverage called a Caesar. Only 54% of quiztakers knew th= at a Caesar was similar to a Bloody Mary, but with added clam juice. I'm no= t sure who in Canada is juicing clams, but I imagine their wives don't let = them into the igloo until they've had a shower. The easiest que= stion on the Easy Quiz was about the definition of the word "finicky." It s= eems that 97% of quiztakers have experience with toddlers and/or cats, as t= hey knew that finicky means "very particular in standards or tastes." Never= mind these are critters who just ate crayons or insects, they are quite pa= rticular about their brand of canned food and can identify the difference b= etween store brand and Chef Boyardee/Fancy Feast by the sound of the can op= ener.
