Man Holds a Ladder on His Chin… Because of Course He Did

A man decided the best use of his time was balancing a ladder on his chin for 19 straight minutes. Yes, that’s a real world record, and yes, it hurt exactly as much as you’re imagining. He’s actually done this three different times over the years, like it’s some kind of painful family tradition. It matters only because it reminds us how far humans will go for a plaque and a photo. Somewhere out there, common sense is watching quietly, shaking its head.

A Maryland man just picked up another lottery prize, winning $50,000 less than two years after scoring $250,000. He bought the ticket at a gas station, scratched it right there, and found out his day was going much better than most of ours. The money is going toward helping his daughters, which is honestly the nicest twist this story could have. It matters because luck remains wildly unfair, but sometimes it lands in the right place. Meanwhile, the rest of us are just hoping the scanner tells us our card didn’t decline.

That’s today’s little tour of human ambition and dumb luck. If you’ve got a favorite moment, or just need someone to quietly sigh with you, hit reply. Until next time — Doug
