TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Double amputee complete world record of sailing around the world solo

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Double amputee complete world record of sailing around the world solo

Breaking a world record is hard enough as it is, now imaging doing it without an arm and a leg.

Like Dustin Reynolds from Hawaii who recently did exactly that. The first ever double amputee to sail around the world solo. Which took roughly 7 years off and on to do. Amazing.

Dan lost his arm and leg back in 2008 after a drunk driver hit him head on while he was riding his motorcycle.  Now he celebrates the anniversary of the crash every year because he says “it’s the day he decided to start living”. This latest accomplishment definitely proves that. Congrats Dan!

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why don’t we ever see the Supreme Court in session?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why don’t we ever see the Supreme Court in session?

With the Supreme Court all over the news lately with many different high profile cases a lot of people are wondering why we never see the court in session. There actually hasn’t been a photograph of the Supreme Court in session since 1937! They’ve had a ban on cameras in the courtroom ever since then.

One of the main reasons is that the court wants to preserve its tradition. They also don’t want the media to use embarrassing sound bites or footage from their oral arguments and believe that cameras will just encourage showboating.
