Chicago Cubs folklore says the team started losing in 1945 when a die-hard fan’s goat was denied entrance to the ballpark during the world series.
So five guys just walked 1,764 miles with this goat, all the way from Mesa, Arizona, planning to get the goat into a Cubs game and break the curse (and raise money for charity). via The Pantagraph.
The goat’s name is Wrigley.
He was not allowed in the park.

The whiskey industry's dirty little secret -
Whiskey distilleries have one of the worst economic propositions going, but a slew of scientific tricks — from low-tech tweaks to high-tech wizardry — are being used to make whiskeys you’ll find on back bars today.
Charleston-based Terressentia is one of a few startups doing secretive work at reinventing the distillation process, and CEO Earl Hewlette describes his company as taking a “back to basics” approach that combines “ultrasonic energy, oxidation and temperature to force certain chemical reactions.”
Hewlette says his process can create the equivalent of a seven-year-old bourbon in, get this, 12 to 18 hours, 250 gallons at a time.

“I just have too much to do to roam around stuff like this. It seems like a great thing. I just can’t do it. I killed my facebook page years ago because time clicking around is just dead time. Your brain isn’t resting and it isn’t doing. …All this unmitigated input is hurting folks. My opinion.” — Louis C.K.
