Canadian Bills Fan Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 TIL There was an intern who stole moon rocks from NASA, spread the rocks on his bed and had sex on them, resulting in contamination making the rocks virtually useless to the scientific community. He was sentenced for more than 8 years. TIL that Volkswagen sells sausages and ketchup. It is also their best selling product, selling millions more than their cars.

Wife and daughter had to take the two back to "make sure" both were of the LGBT persuasion. Seems when my daughter got them, both were acting a little too amorous for comfort. My wife & Daughter got worried that there was a mix up @ the guinea pig rescue. Rest assured, guinea pig rescuer did a "Pope Check" and confirmed that both pigs were in fact mother & daughter. LoL Hard to tell with those little buggers! Year later, no piggy is in "trouble". Parenting is humbling.
