If you’re ever in a bind, throw some Doritos on the grill and spark them up. Though you can make kindling out of nearly anything, the flavored corn chips are particularly handy because they’ll burn for a long time. In fact, most chips will serve as good fire starters because they’re made of flammable hydrocarbons soaked in oil, according to an investigation by The Star. The more covered in powder-flavoring they are, the longer the fire will last!

In perhaps the most Floridian attack ever, the deadly weapon of choice was an alligator. As 24-year-old Joshua James was being handed his drink at a Wendy’s drive-thru, he tossed a live 3.5-foot alligator at the attendant for absolutely no reason at all. As a result, he was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, possession of an alligator, and petty theft. He was also banned from all Wendy’s fast food restaurants.

Three decades ago, American Airlines’ executives, looking to save money, removed the single olive that was included in every first-class meal, saving the airline an estimated, as reported by Jet Set on Bravo, $40,000 per year—in 1980s dollars.

Richard Montaņez, working at the Frito-Lay plant as a janitor in Southern California, pitched the idea of adding chili powder to regular Cheetos to the company’s CEO. Top brass liked the idea and, since its success, Montaņez has risen up the company ranks and now serves as an executive for PepsiCo.

Someone said they were tracking 1967 Z/28 sales. This one is coming up for auction in the next couple of days. I tried to locate the post where I read that but can't find it. If you know who I am talking about, please bring this car to his attention. Thank you.

A Memorial Day fact everyone should know is that the first observances of what we now refer to as 'Memorial Day' were intended to honor those who died in battle during the Civil War. Claiming more lives than any other conflict in U.S. history, the Civil War required the establishment of the nation's first national cemeteries, according to History.com.

The first large-scale observance of what we now know as Memorial Day was called 'Decoration Day'; it took place at the Arlington National Cemetery on May 30, 1868. Various Washington officials, including General Ulysses S. Grant, presided over the ceremonies. After speeches, children from the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphan Home, among others, made their way through the cemetery, strewing flowers on both Union and Confederate graves, reciting prayers, and singing hymns.

To ensure the sacrifices of America's fallen heroes are never forgotten, President Bill Clinton signed into law 'The National Moment of Remembrance Act' in December of 2000. The law encourages all Americans to pause wherever they are at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day for a minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the nation.
