The strange and very Albertan history of the Cadillac Ranch
For nearly 40 years, learning this one weird line dance has been a fact of life for many Canadians. The song it’s based on was never a hit, so how’d it become an Alberta thing? Open up your engines, let 'em roar. We're tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur.
13 minute film on the life of a stutterer. Won the 2016 Oscar for best live action short film. Enjoy!
I stutter. While my stutter is not as severe as that of the person in the film, it has affected, and will continue to affect almost every aspect of my life. From the decision my parents made not to put me in French immersion when I was 4, to the anxiety I feel about having to present in front of a group of people I have never met this coming Tuesday, my stutter constantly influences my actions.
Over the last few years, artwork such as this is starting to eloquently shed light on what goes on in the minds of stutters. Why am I typing this? I’m not really sure. I guess what I want to highlight from the film is the stutter’s handicapped ability to communicate his thoughts to the people around him. I guess what I’m asking is that when conversing with a stutter, do not mistake the inability to verbally convey thoughts with a lack of their presence.

Some of those are massive improvements. I had to laugh at the Oilers one because he looks like every fan in that city...mouth agape and dumbfounded.
And it also looks like it has a metal strainer on it's head. It fits how Oilers fans thing everything is a conspiracy against them, despite being given more in their history than any other NHL team.
The Capitals one is probably the freakiest. I am also confused why the jersey says "anals" instead of Capitals.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong (since I'm still learning about AI), but I believe AI generated content is specifically supposed to avoid copyright infringements, so specific trademarks like team names have to be renamed. It probably just chose letters close enough to the original.

It's not that, it's becuase it doesn't understand the concept of letters, words etc, just patterns and shapes. It means nothing to the algorithm that Ontario got changed to OIOROIO any more than it cares that it turned the Vancouver one into a giant condom head.
It just seems extra creepy to have that creature staring at you with malice and the word "anals" sprawled across its chest. Nightmare fuel. I'll be going to bed with my back to the wall tonight just thinking about it.

Brutus did explain that 7ft 3in Andre - also known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World" - always did his best to use the bathroom BEFORE boarding planes.
But this time wrestlers had to rush for their seats due to a flight delay.
WWE Hall of Famer Brutus, 66, told Wrestling Shoot Interviews how Andre sparked a horrifying chain reaction.
He said: "Andre would always time it so that he would take a dump before he went to the airport, before he went to the plane, then he'd be good for a day or two."
But after the Frenchman was forced into action in mid-air, Brutus says his fight colleague "went to town" on the toilets.
The Giant, now 46, produced sounds that were "not human" - followed by a horrible smell that drifted through the 76-metre long plane.
American Brutus added: "I've never heard anything like it. The sounds that are coming out of there
