Our kids= go back to school tomorrow, so things are kinda hectic around the househol= d today. Kentucky schools start pretty early in order to sandbag extr= a snow days for use later. Kentucky's far enough north that we've got= snow removal equipment, but the terrain is pretty damn hilly, so it doesn'= t take a ton of snow to bork things up. I'm fine with them going back= early though. It's not like they're missing out on any amazing Augus= t activities, especially since from now until November the daily forecast i= s always highs in the 80s, scattered thunderstorms. I went for a bike= ride this morning and it was so humid I could feel the water vapor hitting= my skin. Thursday at 4 p.m. it's the [Fark N= ews Livestream](3D") with definitely Christine, Dill and me, and we'll get Lu= cky if his schedule pans out. Just like last week, a ton of stuff has= been flying under the radar, including beer for blood, the ongoing saga of= the Batmobile debacle, and the story of how Spider-Man invented the ankle = bracelet in 1977. I don't remember that particular episode of "Electr= ic Company," but then again I completely forgot the lollypop segment also.&= nbsp; I do remember Morgan Freeman though. ________________________ End Drew transmission _______________= _________ Top Comments= Some of the top-voted smartest and funniest comments fro= m the past week Funny: ThomasPaineTrain = > told giantmeteor [where one can find modern romance](3D" I Have A Bo Burnham GIF = For That reacted to the incredible news that [Alex Jones saved someone's life while leaving the courtho= use](3D") Bootleg was glad that [a real estate photographer's work did not go to waste](3D") = common sense is an oxymoron was not a fan of [something that was reportedly included in the dat= a from Alex Jones' phone](3D") Farking Clown Shoes share= d [information about Dane Cook's engag= ement](3D") Bootleg hoped for [a surprising decision from the jury for Alex Jones' punitive da= mages](3D" TheHighlandHowler shared [an excellent story about purchasing a controlled substan= ce](3D") darkeyes knew [what's next for a meteorologist who went wild when he discovered the m= onitor with the map on it had a touch screen](3D" NateAsbestos = strong> [beat Martin Shkreli's IQ test scor= e](3D"=) OdradekRex explained [why drug stores are locking up Old Spice, Colgate and Dawn](3D" Smart: Thoreny expected [Alex Jones to have to pay compensatory damages that= would meet a particular threshold](3D") Pocket Ninja di= scussed the practice of [renting out p= laces that were once slave quarters on Airbnb](3D=) Nintenfreak = strong> found [one tiny problem with c= redit bureaus](3D"https://w=) phalamir shared stories about people in restaurants being really weird ab= out who pays the check OdradekRex priced out = [Oklahoma real estate](3D") Dr. Ho= rrible [got to meet someone reall= y cool](3D"=) ImpendingCynic [predicted the next calamity we'll face](3D" bingethinker = trong> figured out [how to work smarte= r, not harder](3D"http=) CSB Sunday Morning theme: [Summer cookouts](3D") Smart:= ingo [threw a hail = of a barbecue](3D=) Funny: Fear the Clam l= earned to [Fear the Corn](3D"=) Politics Funny: NewportBarGuy was shocked by&nb= sp;[just how bad things got for Alex Jones sigdiamond2000 explained](3D")[why the copy of everything from Jones' phone that his lawyer a= ccidentally sent to the opposing lawyer can't legally be used against him= a> GeeksAreMyPeeps noticed](3D")[something very suspicious about a congresswoman's death](3D" = Martian_Astronomer was [prepared to do something drastic in reaction to messages between Roger = Stone and Alex Jones](3D" flucto was [confused by the previous comment in the thread](3D") Politics Smart: markie_farkie shared = [what the lawyer representing parents of Sa= ndy Hook victims said on hot mic during recess](3D") AlgaeRancher = listed [some of President = Biden's accomplishments](3D"https:=) TuckFrump discussed religious objections DrD'isI= nfotainment thought that [Vl= adimir Putin's comments about the Russian and U.S. navies were silly](3D" Raug the Dwarf gave [a first-person account of what the polls looked like in Kansas](3D" Top Contest Entries = Some of the top-voted contest entries from last week Photosh= ops: asstamassta [fed Miley a pink manta ray](3D" artifishy managed to&= nbsp;[make the Cheshire Cat even creepier= a> artifishy reminded us](3D")[never to trust the canopy tent](3D" EvaDewer decorated early for Christmas whatsupchuck found out [wh= o let the dogs rats out](3D" RedZoneTuba showed = us [someone who was unprepared for the= job](3D"=) RedZoneTuba [kicked that football with enthusiasm](3D" Yammering_Splat_Vecto= r pointed out [something unu= sual on a utility pole](3D=) artifishy revealed [the true danger of motorsports](3D") Yammering_Splat_Vector had [Lucy hold the football](3D" Farktography theme: [900-A Farktography Milestone=](3D") Lovesandwich helpfully reminded us that [the safe move is the right move](3D") Fark Headlines of the Week A selection of some of the top headlines from last week [Marty the Zebra i= s missing in Missouri.

Man Out S= tanding is our sole entrant to the 1000 club with a score of 1012,= but unfortunately we used up all the jelly making fun of the "toast drop c= hallenge" the promo people for "Luck" came up with. maddog2030= made second with 987. followed by WoolyManwich= ng> in third with 936, Captain Orr in fourth with 929, and= bodegas in fifth with 923. The hardest questi= on on last week's Hard Quiz was about what you can do while waiting for you= r Tesla to charge at the Supercharger station in Hilden, Germany. Only 28% = of quiztakers caught the article about Tesla bragging about their new "swim= ming pool", which appears to be a repurposed dumpster containing water= that's about three feet deep. It looks like something my redneck neighbors= would enjoy on summer evenings while sipping Coors Light and wondering why= the mosquitoes are so bad this year. The easiest question on = last week's Hard Quiz was about the new "Gatto Bianco" pop-up restaurant in= New York City, 91% of quiztakers knew that it was a promotion for Fancy Fe= ast cat food, where diners can enjoy dishes "inspired by" the brand's new "= Medley" line. Personally, I feel like I'm missing the concept here, as I'd = prefer my food to be as human-food-like as possible. As do most cats I've e= ver known - they'd rather have what you're having. The hardest= question on last week's Easy Quiz was about the Cleveland Zoo's new baby l= angur. Only 54% of quiztakers knew that a langur was a small monkey na= tive to the Indian subcontinent. Fun fact: most subspecies of langur have r= ed fur when they are born that changes to gray or black as they age and gai= n a soul. The easiest question on the Easy Quiz was about which poli= tical activist claimed to be "Hunter Biden's cocaine dealer" when addressin= g a crowd during protests to get the PACT Act passed, which provides s= upport for veterans dealing with health issues stemming from exposure to th= ings like burn pits. 89% of quiztakers knew that former "The Daily Sh= ow" host Jon Stewart made the remark to call attention to the fact that eve= n people who didn't like him still saw the need for the bill to pass. The b= ill finally did pass on its third try and was signed into law this morning = (Aug 10) by the President.
