As part of a bold new marketing strategy to promote inclusivity and appeal to less than 1% of the population, Mars, Incorporated has introduced a new M&M character who identifies as a Skittle.

The Great Lakes — Superior, Huron, Michigan, Ontario and Erie — make up the largest body of fresh water on Earth, accounting for one-fifth of the freshwater surface on the planet at 6 quadrillion gallons.

Doesn't the Amazon River have those fish that swim up your pee pee?

They sound like it would be a good addition to the "pool fish" birthday party.

The total population of El Salvidor is less than that of NYC, but larger than the #2 city (LA).

And yet, the score of the game currently is only USA 1- Salvi 0 in the 80th minute.

American Mens National Team is as good as I can remember them being. FIFA rankings has them at #11. Ten spots probably higher than they should be. They may only be the third best team in North & Central America. Still not guaranteed to be in the World Cup. Beating Canada this afternoon would be a great step toward that.

MLS as a nation League might be tenth best in the world.

Too many interruptions in play. Between commercials, penalties, inept refs and elongated reviews it becomes quickly tedious. Add to the denoting of the sport Safety First initiatives like onside kicks and kickoffs having little to no contact and players being penalized for tackling indelicately, American football is decidedly not better than the worlds game.

Will have the dark going today. Will let the game get midway through the second quarter and the watch off of the DVR. With all the breaks, I’ll still be able to catch the last five minutes of the game live.

^True, but you won't see an American football player fall to the ground and roll around screaming like something was broken if another player touches his ear or whispers a bad word.

C'mon, man...

They are remarkably resilient. A player can be perfectly healthy, clattered into, hit the ground, be near death in a coma, get treatment, be revived, and back running in the same time period it takes all the referees and the NFL brain trust to, after ruminating over five minutes of super slow motion, decide whether a player got two feet in bounds.

All while they slam AT&T and Verizon commercials down your throat.

And even after all that…. They still get the call wrong about a third of the time.

The only thing that can’t truly be decided in these situations is…. Are they inept or corrupt?

…… c’mon, man.

How many licks does it REALLY take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? The world may never know.

After many studies, there is no clear answer.

Purdue University:
A group of engineering students from Purdue University reported that its licking machine, modeled after a human tongue, took an average of 364 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. Twenty of the group's volunteers assumed the licking challenge-unassisted by machinery-and averaged 252 licks each to the center.

University of Michigan:
Not to be outdone by a Big Ten rival, a chemical engineering doctorate student from the University of Michigan recorded that his customized licking machine required 411 licks to reach the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop. (411-364. Go Blue!).

Bellarmine University:
Bellarmine University in Louisville recently completed their own controlled study to get an answer to the age-old question. With 130 participants they recorded their findings by gender, the amount of time taken and even the color of the tootsie pop. You can read all about their experiment here https://tootsie.com/core/files/tootsie/uploads/files/Bellarmine_University.pdf.

Swarthmore Junior High School:
Rejecting the notion that one needed active college status to undertake the Tootsie Pop licking challenge, a group of junior high students at Swarthmore School used human lickers, reporting an average of 144 licks to reach the center of a Tootsie Pop.

Based on the wide range of results from these scientific studies, it is clear that the world may never know how many licks it really takes to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop.

So... after building a "licking machine" and running the Tootsie Pop tests, what other tests might they have run? The world may never know but some university co-eds prolly had has some fun with it.
