Don’t worry, though—these things tend to blow over quickly.
Well, except for today, because we’ve put together a compilation of the best posts we’ve ever featured from this community. Enjoy!

To Give The Worst Land
"In 1913, Sarah Rector, a 10-year-old black girl received a land allotment of 160 acres in Oklahoma. The best farming land was reserved for whites, so she was given a barren plot. Oil was soon discovered there & she became the country's first black millionaire."

Actually, she became *so* rich that she was given the status of "honorary white citizen". Let that sink in...

To Make Speaking 2 Languages Sophisticated

The British royal family don’t tend to give press releases about their personal achievements or what they are doing in their private lives, almost all the reporting comes from ‘royal correspondents’ who are just journalists with a very easy job as the royal family also never say when a story is false. This story about princess Charlotte came from the fact that the pre school she attended had a language programme, that’s it.

"During WW2, the Germans built a fake wooden airfield with wooden aircraft, vehicles, and hangars in order to trick the Allies. The RAF, having known of the secret project for months, patiently waited for them to finish and then dropped a single fake wooden bomb on it"

To Hide A Parcel
zububonsai 2 years ago (edited)
I deliver parcels. I love doing that, sometimes it's the only fun of the day we have. Like when my scanner says "Put them in the tool chest in the garden" I will play Tetris with all your 14 parcels until they fit in the chest. PS: If you put a tarp/plastic table cloth etc there on a rainy&snowy day and I WILL cover it up...

A&w Created The Third-Pounder
"A&W created the third-pounder. It was the same price as McDonald's quarter-pounder. It bombed massively. When they tried to find out why, it was discovered that Americans thought they were being cheated because three is a smaller number than four. A&W — realizing they can't explain grade school fractions to fully grown adults without coming across as condescending assh*les — quietly took the burger off the menu"

Create a one fifth-pounder and sell it same price as McD's quarter pounder!

Many of those had been posted on BP before, but most are funny, so I don't mind. Especially as Nathaniel's comments had me snorting more than once. Thanks for à good laugh, Nathaniel.
