On this beakiest of weeks, we examine whether birds are, in fact, real. There is some compelling evidence that they exist, such as hearing them, the prevalence of bird-related idioms in language, and the fact that one just ran into my window. But in the spirit of fairness, I will examine the common anti-bird-existence arguments: … Continue reading BE4K WEEK: An investigation into the existence of birds
The Los Angeles Rams are the best team in the NFL. They have an infallible coach with a literally perfect memory; a quarterback drafted 1st overall and therefore a guaranteed winner; a generational talent at running back and also Todd Gurley.
