If you want a dog like this, first off, you’re going to need a Belgian Malinois. They are essentially the Ferraris of the dog world. But good luck having the patience to slowly train them. It takes a massive amount of time, and you basically need the dedication of a full-time dog trainer to chain all those complex behaviors together. Once you actually get them to this level, though? They treat training sessions like a trip to the amusement park. Their work drive is so insane that they are genuinely enjoying the absolute hell out of it.

PICKLE SISTERS - a vaudeville group from 1920s.... The “Pickle Sisters” were part of the eccentric and colorful world of American vaudeville during the roaring 1920s, when entertainment was as much about spectacle as it was about talent. Vaudeville was the birthplace of modern show business, a patchwork of comedy, song, dance, and novelty acts that filled theaters from coast to coast. Performers had to stand out in a crowded field, and the Pickle Sisters did just that, by embracing absurdity. Their shimmering green costumes, complete with beaded dresses and towering headpieces, made them instantly unforgettable. They represented a whimsical side of vaudeville that thrived on visual humor and thematic gimmicks. Acts like theirs were designed to amuse audiences with sheer oddity, combining synchronized dancing, lighthearted comedy, and catchy tunes that reflected the carefree energy of the Jazz Age. The 1920s were a decade of transformation, especially for women. Flappers cut their hair, shortened their skirts, and claimed new freedoms both on and off the stage. The Pickle Sisters, though playful in name and costume, were part of that same spirit—women who performed publicly, traveled independently, and helped shape early popular culture in a male-dominated industry. Many vaudeville performers like the Pickle Sisters later transitioned to radio and early film, helping bridge the gap between live stage variety acts and the emerging entertainment industries of Hollywood and broadcast comedy. © History in Colour #archaeohistories

This policeman's 113-pound flathead just shattered a state catfish record. Patrol Sgt. Joseph Driggers was fishing a 40-foot-deep back eddy on South Carolina's Pee Dee River when a giant flathead ate his Santee rig. After a 15-minute fight, Driggers landed the fish and South Carolina DNR biologists certified its weight at 113.7 pounds. The catch shattered the previous South Carolina flathead record of 84.6 pounds by nearly 30 pounds and is now the largest flathead catfish ever recorded in the state.
