Frog and Toad were probably more than just friends. Author Arnold Lobel told his family he was gay 4 years after publishing his first Frog and Toad book, and, according to his daughter, the pair are "of the same sex, and they love each other." Though he never publicly linked them with his sexuality, she thinks "Frog and Toad was really the beginning of his coming out."

John Wilkes Booth was only 27 years old when he was killed.

Charles Starkweather was only 21 when executed.

Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were only 17 when they committed suicide.

Yet these young men changed our American culture/ society forever.

For the worse.

Pangolins have similarities to armadillos and anteaters but while armadillos and anteaters are related to each other, pangolins are not related to them.

This week, Bohemian Rhapsody is in the top 10 in Vatican City.

Kind of ironic considering they killed Galileo.
