TIL about "Criminal Tools". I read a "criminal tool" was used in a fishing tourney (lead weight). Chewed gum used to jam a keyhole? Criminal tool! Pen used to write a robbery note? You got it! Since this law is vaguely worded, everything is a potential Criminal Tool!

78ywM TIL one day, Robbie Williams woke up to find a stalker in his bedroom and initially mistook her for a cleaning lady. She gave him a handjob and left.

PYJEL TIL Before West Germany (the trizone) got its anthem, carnival songs were played to officially represent Germany. One such song was "We're the natives of Trizonesia" which is about making out with girls, to which the Allied officers, not speaking German, rose from their seats out of respect.
W7679 TIL about Indian Relay Racing. 1 rider per team, 3 horses, 3 laps of the track. The rider does a lap of the track at full gallop, then hops off the horse as it skids to a stop and jumps onto a new horse for the next lap, all bareback.
