Sam Kuerschner said that he was taking a break from shearing when his father “noticed something unusual about one of the lambs,” according to UPI. “He had a bit of a second glance and said, ‘That sheep’s got five legs.’ We all sort of stood up and had a bit of a look and sure enough it did,” Kuerschner told ABC. He continued to tell the broadcaster that he was both surprised and a little intrigued....

Today, we’re here to answer a question with even greater magnitude. Did Jim Tomsula fart? MORE: Gronk’s boot camp conjurs legion of ladies | Our favorite 49ers This question arose following the coach’s press conference on Thursday. While discussing his team, the 49ers coach appeared to have given a back-end blowout. A booty cough, if you will. Take a listen. Prrrrrt! There’s definitely a sound that sounds like a fart, but is that what happened?...

If you had fun in the 20th century, or even if you didn’t, you will find it almost impossible to avoid in the 21st. Working ever harder to keep your place in the world economy, you will seek out fun in compensatory doses. Fun in the next century will be of much higher quality, because there will be so many more playoff games in comparison to the regular season, a trend clearly in evidence in last year’s baseball schedule....

Employee and TikTok user @fryer.friend is yet to confirm which fast food restaurant she works at, but has been sharing videos online of a behind-the-scenes look at the deep fat fryer. On December 3, she shared a video showing how she changes the oil in the machine. The clip has gained over 6 million views and sparked an array of opinions, including those promising to not eat fast food again....

The major targets know well who they are, and won’t discuss security preparations for fear of inviting attack. But it’s no secret in the security industry, now busier than ever. Arms makers and symbols of American cultural imperialism, from media moguls to fast-food giants, are at high risk, warns Cherkasky. Chuck Vance, head of Vance Security in Washington, says his office is deluged by U.S. multinationals that fear a second wave of assaults....

Brin and Page prefer to call themselves frugal. Or careful. Whatever–it worked. When just about every other dot-com was going more than a bit nuts, the Google kids kept their focus: to become the best search engine in the world–and make a profit while doing it. Kind of an Old Economy thing to do. But Russian-born Brin says that he’d feel weird having to tell a blind date that he’s president of an operation that’s in the red....

“I don’t think they made a mistake,” Fauci said during an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union. “We would want to plan for the possibility of vaccinating all those who have gotten their initial vaccination with Pfizer, and it was always pending the evaluation of all of the totality of the data from the United States, from Israel, and any bit of data that we could get, by the advisory committee to the FDA....

In his first public address since taking over as Biden’s chief medical adviser, Fauci credited the organization for its “relentless” work in fighting the coronavirus during a WHO executive board meeting Thursday. A stark departure from the stance of former President Donald Trump’s administration, his comments came on the one-year anniversary of America’s first case of the virus. Fauci praised the WHO for rallying scientific communities to accelerate the development of vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics; its regular press briefings; and for providing “vital supplies” to dozens of countries....

Last week, an important piece of that puzzle became publicly available. Dr. Anthony Fauci’s official calendar from late 2019 and early 2020, until now hidden, is available at OpenTheBooks.com for the world to scrutinize. It should serve to inform lawmakers whose duty is to exercise oversight and hold public servants accountable. New details of meetings, names, and dates allow for—and demand—more focused questions, so that we can sort out what saved lives and what caused undue damage....

Fauci, a member of the White House coronavirus task force and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CNN: “Rather than say, ‘A second wave,’ why don’t we say, ‘Are we prepared for the challenge of the fall and the winter?’” The country’s top infectious disease expert said the idea of a second wave comes from the 1918 flu pandemic.
