Earlier today when I was watching The Secret History of the Ku Klux Klan, I got the urge to make an LBJ ringtone because don’t question the inner workings of my mind. I think I’ma rip it from this conversation.

“…see how Crisco-frying makes those Franks in Blankets brown and crisp. And they’re so digestible even children may eat ‘em!”Why do only nine out of ten doctors say that it’s digestible?!?

On January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger and her seven-member crew were lost when a ruptured O-ring in the right Solid Rocket Booster caused an explosion soon after launch. This photograph, taken a few seconds after the accident, shows the Space Shuttle Main Engines and Solid Rocket Booster exhaust plumes entwined around a ball of gas from the External Tank. Because shuttle launches had become almost routine after twenty-four successful missions, those watching the shuttle launch in person and on television found the sight of the explosion especially shocking and difficult to believe until NASA confirmed the accident.
