SHIFTHEADS: Stories You Did Not Need. Avoiding Them Was the Right Decision

SHIFTHEADS: Stories You Did Not Need. Avoiding Them Was the Right Decision

It's Canada Day weekend, give or take, and Shane and Ryan have three stories that will improve nothing about your life and yet somehow feel essential.

First: the banana car. Twenty-three feet long, Ford F-150 engine, open top, eighty-five miles an hour, and a dedicated app so you always know where it's headed next. Second: Contemporary Calgary is currently housing a thousand-pound butter cowboy, kept from melting by fans running twenty-four hours a day inside a Monopoly exhibit that runs five months. Third: Florida paddleboarders pulled off a dramatic water rescue for what they were confident was a dog. It was a coyote. Everyone survived. Good job, Florida.

Also in the mix: the definitive Batmobile ranking and a brief detour into Homer Simpson's car design philosophy.

Topics: weird news Canada, banana car, butter cowboy Calgary, Florida coyote rescue, useless stories
