Looks like most media folks took off Monday and wo= rked all night Tuesday. Not me - I figure we've got until at least Sa= turday to figure out what all actually happened. Speaki= ng of which, on the [Fark News Livestream](3D"https://=) this w= eek with me, Lucky, Dill and Christine, we're going to do a little politics= - but don't worry, only the funny stuff. Looks like Colorado might l= egalize shrooms, someone's selling cannabis-infused turkey gravy, and a loo= k back on the implications of 7% of Americans believing chocolate milk come= s from brown cows. ________________________ End Drew transmission _____________________= ___ Warm and fuzzies: Farketplace= ong> We opened up the Farketplace last week, and it was heartwarming to see how supp= ortive the Fark community is of each other's business endeavors. Make sure = to check out the [Farketpla= ce](3D"=) and see all the awesome goods and services Farkers sell. There's a&n= bsp;huge range of just really cool stuff, from art to beauty products, to b= ooks, voiceover work and more.

On the Quiz itself, mr= s. badcrumble came out on top with 1053 and a ticket to the 1000 c= lub, where unfortunately the restroom is out of order because I'm not allow= ing anyone to use it so I'll never have to work on it again. BigChad made second with 962, coscausticevil = made third with 937, WoolyManwich came in fourth with 935,= and Oliver Twisted rounds out the top five with 909.= The hardest question on last week's Hard Quiz was about what= caused a closure of 20th St. in Wyandotte, MI during trick-or-treating hou= rs. Only 31% of quiztakers caught the article about the city closing the st= reet due to a cockroach infestation of a vacant home. City engineers were s= o concerned that children and their parents might accidentally pick up a fe= w from the sidewalk, or worse yet, approach the home, that they made the de= cision to close the street. I'm thinking it only called attention to the ho= me and gave kids ideas on how to trick the houses that gave out Chick Tract= s, or worse. circus peanuts. The easiest question on last wee= k's Hard Quiz was about where to find the Gotthard base tunnel, the world's= longest train tunnel. 84% of quiztakers knew that the 35.4-mile-long tunne= l went through Gotthard pass in the Swiss Alps, I mean, they're Swiss, they= put holes in mountains like they do their cheese when they're not yodeling= or making watches. The hardest question on last week's Easy = Quiz was about snack food. Only 63% of quiztakers recognized Chipotle Ranch= , Pepper Puffs, and Nashville Hot as former flavors of Cheetos. The brand i= s currently holding a contest to decide which of them customers want t= o see back in stores again because that's cheaper than coming up with a new= idea. Personally, I think they should do like Pop-Tarts did and stop drug = testing their product development team and they would have more ideas than = they could ever put into production. Of course, like Pop-Tarts, it would be= weird flavors that only sound good when you're eight years old or high. bu= t I'm pretty sure that's their target audience. The easiest questio= n on last week's Easy Quiz was about that airplane Howard Hughes built and = only ever flew one time. 93% of quiztakers recognized that the Spruce Goose= was the name given to the monstrosity with the 320-ft wingspan. Fun fact: = after the government lost interest in the project, Hughes kept the plane in= climate-controlled storage and ready to fly for nearly 30 years until his = death. Because you never know when someone is going to call you up and need= to move 700 people really quickly. Perhaps it was for the best, as I can't= imagine what the line for the restroom on a transcontinental flight would = have been like. If you missed out last week, now's a great ti= me to [catch up on the Fark Weird News Quiz](3D".=).now that = you know a few of the answers. Congratulations once again to the winners, a= nd we'll be doing it all again on Friday. --------------------------------------------------------------- ([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.
