Is there a British town called Buggerall? If not, someone really needs to get on that.

weird bit of useless trivia: not only did John Adams and Thomas Jefferson die on the same day, July 4, 1826 (50 years after the date associated with a famous declaration), but that was also the day that Stephen Foster was born. Oh, doo-dah day.

Random fact: Pope John Paul II was made an honorary Harlem Globetrotter.

as an experiment, I asked ChatGPT for the five weirdest news stories of 2024. I'm pretty sure all of them were fake, probably from spoof news. One was about a gravity glitch onboard an orbital hotel. So our nascent AI overlords struggle telling fake from real news too. Not just your red-hat uncle.

Had AI write a two-sentence nonsense story:
