Hey guys, at first we all thought I had my niche here at the Odyssey hammered down, it seemed that I would be writing about politics, but after the election it kind of all went down hill. So here I am, trying yet another angle. Hopefully this will work out. So, let's talk about some neat things that have been in the news this past week that you missed. Think of it as a kind of knock off John Oliver segment.

The Inauguration v. The Departure

As many of you know, hopefully all of you know, Donald Trump is our President elect. As is the case with all newly elected Presidents, he will have his inauguration, something that is meant to be the highlight of one's life, I mean come on, you are being sworn into the Presidency, you get to learn all those cool secrets, that is hands down the best moment that could happen to anyone. But as you may have heard, not many people are willing to play at The Donald's inauguration, well, currently no one is booked because no one wants to play it. LMAO. Although maybe Mariah Carey will be forced to play the inauguration considering that is the only work she can get after NYE. Now, many of you may have noticed, this segment is contrasting the inauguration with the departure. "What departure?" I hear you ask, well that is the departure of Barack Obama from the White House. "Why the comparison?" I hear you ask, well Obama is throwing a sweet rager to celebrate his going away. How sweet is it? Well Stevie Wonder is playing, Beyonce, Jay Z, Usher and Oprah will be there. George Lucas might be there too. So yeah it is pretty funny and newsworthy that the event that is meant to be celebrating the election of the man who is going to "Make America Great Again" is being overshadowed by the man who "ruined" this country. Again, LMAO. Have fun with Ted Nugent.

Free Weed at the Inauguration?!?!?!?!?

So, in D.C. marijuana is decriminalized, you can smoke it on private property and smoking it in public will land you with a little fine. Pretty good deal right? Well, the DCMJ a D.C. based marijuana activist body has decided to have a little fun with Trump's inauguration. They (the DCMJ) will be handing out exactly 4,200 joints to random passersby who will then march upon the National Mall during the inauguration. According to the DCMJ all the participants will spark up at 4 minutes and 20 seconds into Trump's speech. Pretty rad right?

Death by Toilet??????

Yup, you read that right. In Yulin, north-east China, on New Year's Eve, a toilet exploded as the result of the build of toxic hydrogen sulphide, ammonia and methane, killing one person and wounding several others.

NASA Saw Something Coming Out Of A Black Hole!

Shout out to Bri for turning me on to this one. You don't have to be a scientist to know that black holes suck things in not spew them out. Which is why this should be amazing to everyone to know that NASA spotted something COMING OUT OF a supermassive black hole. Specifically Markarian 335. What exactly happened? Well, scientists are trying to figure that out now. Exciting stuff right?

A Nail Polish That Detects Date Rape Drugs!!!!

Ok admittedly this came out in 2014 but I feel like not enough people know about this. It is still being developed as far as I can tell but this is pretty huge, all you would need to do would be to dip your finger into your drink and boom, it apparently will change colors if Rohypnol is present.

Anyway Here Is a Tasty Video
