Never attempt a world record on an empty stomach

So, in Tehran they attempted the world record for the largest sandwich. It was 1,500 meters long, allegedly, and was being stuffed with ostrich meat and chicken.

A funny thing happened on the way to measuring it, though. The crowd of over-excited Iranians surged forward and ate it! Ate the potential record-setting sandwich before it got measured.


The judges say it's possible they could check video for evidence and still get the record.

Did someone say Mothman? No? Oh, my bad.

Is it that time again? Has it been a year already?

It just wouldn't be September without the annual Mothman Festival, but I'm sure I don't have to tell you. You no doubt visited Point Pleasant, West Virginia yourself to drink Mothman lattes, eat Mothman Pancakes and sing Mothman songs (ok, I didn't hear any songs).

Maybe you dressed like one of the Men in Black, a ghost, the Ghostbusters or Mothman himself.


Surely you took a picture in front of the permanent, giant metal statue of the Mothman.


Then you must have stopped by to stock up on t-shirts, mugs, post cards, books, graphic novels, necklaces and wind-chimes (all Mothman-centric).


No?

Huh.

Was your Mothman alarm clock not working this morning?
