Our thoughts are with everyone working around the clock since the explosion downtown Nashville this morning. Thankfully not many were injured, and our amazing first responder forces are working hard to find the people behind this hateful act.

Stay safe, everyone, and have a very Merry Christmas!

Shout out to our colleagues at the Wait, What? Podcast for sharing this crazy news story! A Russian man couldn’t breathe through one of his nostrils, so he went to see about it and they found an old coin lodged up there. The middle-aged man had stuck it in his nose at age 6 and forgotten about it!! Be careful where you stash things, folks.

The 51-year-old man had pushed the coin inside his nose as a little boy and then forgot about it. The Soviet-era coin was found in his nose after he was unable to breathe from his right nostril.
