Jiffy Pop tasted much better in the 1970's.

When rapper 2 Chainz decided to sample Tom Lehrer’s “The Old Dope Peddler” for his song “Dope Peddler”, he got this response:

“As sole copyright owner of 'The Old Dope Peddler', I grant you motherfuckers permission to do this. Please give my regards to Mr. Chainz, or may I call him 2?"

He no longer has to make such letters, because, as of November 2022, he’s released his entire back catalogue into the public domain. He’s in his 90s, and evidently has neither kids nor a wife, so I guess his decision makes sense.

Especially in the military. Or did the other soldiers where you were stationed actually respect bans on alcohol?





Also, for some reason, Tom put a time limit on how long his website is supposed to last (namely, New Year’s Eve of this year). Fortunately, due to the nature of the Public Domain, there are mirrors, and this is one of them.

In 1962 Pez made a dispenser where you had to put the barrel of a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger to get a candy.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

You can’t ignore something you’re unaware of. The man invented Jell-O shots ffs.
