Reply to TIL in 1979, in between a double-header, the White Sox exploded a crate filled with disco records to stands of over 50k disco haters. Thousands flocked to the field afterward, which became so destroyed that they forfeit the 2nd game to the Tigers - the last time in AL history. by JackMacWindowsLinux
It's okay that disco left the mainstream because Frankie Knuckles just took out some of the lyrics at a place he DJ'd in Chicago called the wareHouse and people are to this day still listening to that type of music, it's known by the name House Music.

Reply to TIL On Christmas Eve 1969, Francisco Macias Nguema had 186 suspected dissidents executed in the national football stadium in Malabo with the executioners dressed as Santa Claus, with the amplifiers played Mary Hopkin's song "Those Were the Days". by Osrever101
I bet those executioners had flashbacks every time they heard that song

He might have been the oldest pope but he wasn't the pope when he died so I would wonder who was the actual pope the longest but then I realized that they all cover for pedophiles so I don't care!

Now I taught that weeping willow how to cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I cried for that woman, are you gonna flood you big river
And I'm going to sit here till I die

That clone might look similar but will it still be a jive turkey?

Then all you have to do is tell people on Christmas that don't worry I'm going to get you a gift but I decided to get you one after Christmas because it will be cheaper.

Reply to TIL that in 2005 burglars stole $71.6 million from a bank in Fortaleza, Brazil by setting up a fake landscaping company near the bank and digging a 256ft tunnel beneath two city blocks to the bank over 3 months. Neighbors noticed vanloads of soil removed daily but assumed it was business-related. by Lagavulin16_neat
