1. He is the champion, my friends
An Iowa sportscaster decided to play the world's longest, most elaborate and most secretive joke ... because listen, it's Iowa, what else are you going to do?
Anyway, here's the first word of each of my broadcasts since July 31 of last year. pic.twitter.com/pLYyi7viLI — Owen Siebring (@owensiebring) May 10, 2024
Gotta say: This is better than "Bohemian Rhapsody."
2. Sand trap (Warning: some NSFW language)
We are living in a new golden age of fake snake pranks:

"I don't like snakes." Yeah, we picked up on that.
3. Monday the 13th
OK, so it's not Friday the 13th – but in a way, Monday is even scarier. And I don't even have a family of pranksters!
That was a close one… 44 years since Friday the 13th, and I still can’t take a nap in peace. #FridayThe13th pic.twitter.com/0y3UK8ufZ3 — Kevin Bacon (@kevinbacon) May 9, 2024

Bonus breather
To help you cope with the rest of your day, here's a little bonus breathing exercise to calm the nerves and provide a little digital therapy.
As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
