Two African doctors were in an intense debate. The first said “It’s wooooooooooooooommmbbbbb”.
The second said “no, it’s woooooooooooooooommmbbaaaa.” A British doctor overhears them and decides to help: “I think the word you are looking for is ‘womb.'” They both turn to him and say “Clearly, you’ve never heard a hippopotamus fart underwater!” |
In case you haven’t seen it yet… put this on you list of videos to watch today.
Enjoy!
“While reviewing dashcam footage,” ominously begins the Dover Police Department’s Facebook post, “we come across some interesting sights to say the least.
We hope you enjoy this…and Taylor Swift, if you’re watching…we’re sorry.” What follows is what it dubs a “Dashcam Confessional” in the form of 48-year-old Master Cpl. Jeff Davis lip-syncing rather enthusiastically to Swift’s “Shake It Off”— which might seem like an unlikely choice for a gruff-looking cop, but the dad of four says he’s more than passingly familiar with Swift thanks to his 10 year-old daughter, reports the AP. And for the record, “Yes, I did know that the camera was on,” he tells Fox News, via E! Online.
Davis says there was serious intent behind the far-from-serious video: “With all of the negative publicity the police have been getting nationwide and worldwide, I think it was a good thing to show a little, the lighter side of the police,” he says.
How much snow does it take to cancel schools?
Data was taken from hundreds of various points from user responses on Reddit and interpolated using NOAA’s average annual snowfall days map. Any corrections/additions are welcome, just give a decently specific location.
The lightest green says “any snow” but also includes merely the prediction of snow. Also, this is snow accumulation over 24 hours/overnight.
In much of the Midwest and Great Plains, school closing often depends more on wind chill and temperature than on snow accumulation (“cold days”). Thus, this map may be misleading in those areas.
Many jurisdictions in California and other western states have significantly varied snowfall, depending on elevation. This makes it difficult to find an “average” number, or often makes it misleading.
Urban areas like Chicago and New York have more resources to clear snow and often need more to cause closings.
To everyone saying “I grew up in so-and-so and we never closed school,” policies have changed in the last 20 years to make closing a much more common occurrence. Just because schools stayed open back then doesn’t mean they do these days.
Hawaii does get snow! Just… not where people live
