50 years ago, the Edmund Fitzgerald began her final voyage across Lake Superior. Less than 36 hours later she vanished. Five decades later "Why?" is still a mystery. Starting tomorrow, I'll tell the story of her final hours on the lake - as they happened.

One time on a work call I made a comment about how much I hate small talk and a coworker laughed and said, "okay let's talk literature instead." We were fighting about each other's literary opinions within a minute.

18yo, who is at a VERY Presbyterian college, said a bunch of students were having a convo about theology. One of her friends is Orthodox and the other students asked, "well, do you believe in TULIP?" and she said "No, we don't do TULIP, you weirdos!" I don't know her name, but I have a new hero.
