Three HS teams in Oklahoma were locked in a tiebreaker and went to a Catfish restaurant to flip coins at midnight to decide which two teams head to the playoffs

Well THIS did not age well…..
Oklahoma has announced that starting QB Rhett Bomar as well as offensive lineman J.D. Quinn have been dismissed from the team for breaking NCAA rules.
It’s reported they both took payment in excess of time actually worked at a local car dealership.
The Sooners will now turn to Paul Thompson to run the offense for the 2006 season.

For the first time ever, a Filipino American player will win an NBA Championship
With Knicks now in NBA Finals & Thunder vs Spurs locked at 2-2, we’re sure that 1 of these Filipino Americans will win a ring:
> Jordan Clarkson, Knicks
> Jared McCain, Thunder
> Dylan Harper, Spurs
MABUHAY KAYO! 🇵🇭🏀

Whoa…….
Ok my fellow Senior Friends, who doesn’t like to save some money 💵
FYI EVERYONE!!!
I heard a guy ask for his senior discount @ Wendy's, The girl at the register apologized and charged him less. When I asked the man what the discount was, he told me that seniors over age 55 ...get 10% off everything on the menu, every day. (But you need to ASK for your discount.)
This incident prompted me to do some research, and I came across a list of restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, travel deals and other types of offers giving various discounts with different age requirements. I was actually surprised to see how many there are and how some of them start as young as 50.
This list may not only be useful for you, but also friends and family, too.
Dunkin Donuts gives FREE coffee to people over 55. If you're paying for a cup every day, you might want to start getting it FREE.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
These “discounts” are suspect at best. Food Lion does not offer a discount. Stein Mart is out of business. For a more accurate list: caring.com/resources/seni…

This is insane
🚨 JUST IN: A migratory bird just shattered world records — flying 8,425 miles (13,560 km) NON-STOP across the Pacific without landing once.
The bar-tailed godwit doesn’t stop to eat, drink, or sleep during its migration across the Pacific Ocean. Its journey from Alaska to Australia takes roughly 11 days of continuous flight, covering over 13,000 kilometers through storms, headwinds, and open ocean with zero land beneath it the entire time.
Before departure, it does something almost surgical to its own body. It shrinks its digestive organs down to almost nothing, converting the stomach, intestines, and liver into raw fuel. The bird essentially eats its own gut to make room for fat reserves that will power its wings for nearly two weeks straight.
The brain doesn’t fully sleep either. Half of it stays active while the other half rests, alternating in shifts mid-flight at altitude over the open Pacific. The godwit is simultaneously unconscious and navigating with magnetic field sensitivity that no human instrument in the 18th century could replicate.
What makes this genuinely staggering beyond the physical record is the navigational precision involved. The bird leaves Alaska and arrives in New Zealand with accuracy that would embarrass early GPS systems. It reads Earth’s magnetic field, atmospheric pressure gradients, star positions, and potentially quantum-level compass mechanisms inside its eye that literally let it see magnetic field lines overlaid on its visual field.
Evolution spent millions of years building an aerospace navigation system inside a 300 gram animal.
We spend billions engineering machines that do what this bird does on instinct, fat reserves, and half a sleeping brain.
The longest recorded non-stop flight by a commercial aircraft is around 20 hours.
This bird does 11 days.
Without a runway.
