I know it doesn't= seem like much but [Tot= alFark](3D"https://=)subscriptions literally keep the lights on, and if we had a lot = more there's a whole list of coding stuff I've been dying to get around to.= So if you're so inclined, you could do both me and Fark a huge favor= if you would sign up for a [TotalFark](3D"=)or [Ba= refark](3D"https:=)subscription today. On the home front, this week's been a biatchaotic - everything's fine as o= f right now but it was rough going for the past few days. Given that,= plus the news cycle isn't optimal for weird news right at the moment, the = [Fark News Livestream](3D") is going to take a break t= his week. We should be back next week however, and you can always wat= ch the previous few streams. M= eanwhile everyone go out and do something nice for someone who needs it.&nb= sp; You won't regret it. ________________________ End= Drew transmission ________________________ Top Interactions = Some of the best interactions from the past week.

On the Quiz i= tself, VooDoo_Blonde made first and is our sole entry into= the 1000 club with a score of 1018, followed by mrs. badcrumb= le in second with 952 and Denjiro in third w= ith 927, Captain Orr made fourth with 916, and relaxitsjustme makes it into the top five with 903. The = hardest question on last week's Hard Quiz was about the world's first, and = currently only, museum dedicated to the vagina. Only 30% of quiztakers knew= that the Vagina Museum has been open since 2019 in London, but was briefly= forced to close when they lost their lease. They're reopening in a larger = space in Bethnel Green near Victoria Park on November 4, so keep that = in mind if you find yourself with a few hours to kill near downtown London.= The easiest question on last week's Hard Quiz was about whic= h Australian critter tried to kill a woman who was rescuing it with its ven= omous spurs. 80% of quiztakers knew that the platypus, which appears to be = made of leftover parts of other animals, somehow wound up with hollow spurs= on their back legs complete with venom glands. So remember that no matter = how cutesy they look, they're still Australian wildlife that wants to kill = you and your entire family and will have no regrets in doing so, T= he hardest question on last week's Easy Quiz was about a trademark dispute = regarding DEEZ NUTZ. Only 56% of quiztakers knew that Feastables, Inc was o= wned by Jimmy Donaldson, aka YouTube's most-subscribed personality MrBeast.= It seems he didn't bother spending the money researching "DEEZ NUTZ" and w= asn't aware someone had beat him to the joke, although more subtly. His sna= ck food brand is now being sued by internet-based Dee's Nuts, who have owne= d the trademark since 2011 and now make flavored peanut varieties like "Ran= ch Sriracha", "Hot Cheddah" (sic), and..."Nanner Pudding"? I'm not sure who= to root for here, but if I were MrBeast I'd just change it to something or= iginal like DOZE NUTS and put sleepy-eyed peanuts on the label. The= easiest question on last week's Easy Quiz was about the new record for wor= ld's biggest vegetable. 95% of quiztakers caught the article about the 2,74= 9 lb (1247 kg) behemoth shown off at the 50th World Championship Pumpk= in Weigh-Off in Half Moon Bay, CA. For reference, per Guinness the world's = record for largest watermelon was 350.5 lbs (159 kg). If you = missed out last week, now's a great time to [catch up on the Fark Weird News Quiz](3D" now that = you know a few of the answers.
