Every Single Covid Particle in the World Would All Fit in One Soda Can
Assuming 3 million people are infected at any given time, a mathematician estimates that 200 quadrillion virus particles are out there on most days. And since the radius of Sars-CoV-2 is 1,000 times thinner than a human hair, etc etc, more complicated facts equals 120 millilitres which could comfortably fit in a can of soda or beer.
I hope nobody dares Bam Margera to drink it.

No One Is Happy With Urban Meyer's Strength And Conditioning Coach Hire

Ted Cruz Blasted for Defending Maledorian Actor
Ted Cruz defended the Maledorian actor Gina Carano, and seemed pretty cranky over her recent firing. But why just anger people for defending an asshole, when you can also insult a beloved film icon in the process, so he also threw shots at Princess Leia.
Hey Jabba the Hutt, nobody needs to be lectured on Star Wars by you.
Texan Gina Carano broke barriers in the Star Wars universe: not a princess, not a victim, not some emotionally tortured Jedi. She played a woman who kicked ass & who girls looked up to. She was instrumental in making Star Wars fun again. Of course Disney canceled her.
