Jun. 14th mind blowing random thought of the day: The longest boxing match ever recorded took place in 1893, and was between Andy Bowen and Jack Burke. Lasting for more than 7 hours at 110 rounds, the referee finally called the event a draw after both fighters declared that they were too tired to continue, and Burke had broken all of the bones in both of his hands.

As you might know, McDonalds is all over the world, and have a variety of regional dishes. In the Maritimes of Canada (at least in Nova Scotia) there’s the McLobster. That’s my little tidbit random fact of the day lol. Although, as in typical McDonald’s style, it’s not as big as the photo shows. A bit of lobster salad on a hotdog bun.

Fathers day was created in my hometown of Spokane wa. In 1908 to honor a man who raised 6 children after his wife died during childbirth. (It took much longer to become a federally recognized holiday, but still a fun tidbit).

On second thought, probably not a good idea, would wreck the hell out of my keto diet.
