ITS GREAT LAKES AWARENESS DAY!!!!!

On this excellent day, be aware that this is the largest group of freshwater lakes in the world, covering over 95,000 square miles and reaching depths of over a thousand feet. They are beautiful freshwater seas.

Also when you die in these lakes, the very cold, oxygen-poor conditions at the bottom preserves you perfectly for all eternity. You will not rot and nothing will eat you. You will exist for as long as the Great Lakes do. Many shipwrecks still have the crew on board. Be Aware.

Literally just a puppy

on this day in history | the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald (10 November 1975).

“The ship was the pride of the American side Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin. As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most, With a crew and good captain well seasoned. Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms When they left fully loaded for Cleveland, And later that night when the ship’s bell rang Could it be the north wind they’d been feeling?” (x)
