Mmmmm. Delicious Laundry Pods. As we know from science™, laundry pods are unlikely to kill you. But that hasn’t stopped folks from wanting to regulate the innovative little cleaning pods.

Be all that you can be….on the Las Vegas Golden Knights? The U.S. Army has filed opposition to a trademark filing by the new NHL team. The team’s response is hilarious:
If the Army wins, the team might have to change its name. Which means more merchandise to sell!
