Celebrate National Dewey Decimal System, Lager, Human Rights, Nobel Prize, Salesperson, Nobel Prize, and Official Lost and Found Day.

National Brownie Day was Wednesday and some people celebrated by taking a bite out of the world's largest cannabis edible!!!
The baked treat -- sure to get ya super baked -- was made last week by a team of 5 people and took a full day to complete. The brownie tips the scales at a whopping 850 pounds and contains 20,000 mg of THC. For those who don't partake, 10 mg of marijuana is enough to get ya pretty high ... so a nibble of this thing will be plenty.
As for the more boring ingredients -- 1,344 eggs, 81 pounds of flour, lots and lots of sugar and blah blah blah ... you're gonna be on cloud nine.
Ryan Crandall, Chief Product Officer at MariMed, tells TMZ... "We wanted to do something big to celebrate the launch of our Bubby’s Baked infused baked goods line, and what could be bigger than the World’s Largest Cannabis Brownie."
He wasn't exaggerating... it's so big, the brownie will be sold and distributed in pieces to medical patients in Massachusetts.
(it should also come with a gift card for the 7-11 for a munchies run.)

Turns out, Joey Chestnut can inhale shrimp just as fast as he can hot dogs ... 'cause the eating legend went beast mode on shrimp cocktail last weekend, guzzling 17 pounds of the appetizer in 8 minutes!
The 38-year-old accomplished the wild feat in the eighth annual World Famous St. Elmo Shrimp Cocktail Eating Championship in Indianapolis on Saturday -- and the gross/amazing scene was all captured on video.
Chestnut eventually destroyed the competition ... eating 17 pounds and 1.6 ounces of the seafood. And, according to the official event results, he beat second place by almost three full pounds!!

A new survey asked people what they thought about giving secondhand Christmas gifts. It was framed as an Earth-friendly move to pass along a "pre-loved" item to avoid waste.
23% of people claim they'd consider buying a used gift to prevent it from going to the landfill. Nearly 40% would shop secondhand to try to get a bargain and 31% would do it in the hopes of finding something more unique.
19% said that they'd feel "grateful" to receive a used gift for Christmas.
So what kinds of used gifts are we talking about?
Books are #1, which makes sense. DVDs are next, followed by toys and games , jewelry, ceramics and ornaments, CDs, vinyl records, video games, arts and crafts, and bags and purses.

There’s still some time to prep for Christmas. A new poll looked the most common Christmas blunders.
1. Leaving the tags on gifts.
2. Running out on wrapping paper on Christmas Eve.
3. Sending out your Christmas cards too late, so they don't get there on time.
4. Not getting someone a gift, but they got YOU a gift.
5. Getting drunk on Christmas Eve, and being hungover the next morning.
6. Knocking over your Christmas tree. Or more likely your dog/cat does.
7. Drinking too much in general when you're around relatives.
8. The presents you mailed out don't get there.
9. Forgetting to put your "happy and surprised" face on while opening a gift.
10. Screwing up Christmas dinner.
Here are a few more that made the top 25: Watching a movie with your family that's got a sex scene in it, having the wrong person open a gift, accidentally breaking a gift you just received, and your kids catching you wrapping presents.

A woman in Houston was playing a slot machine at a convenience store last week with another woman. She wasn't winning so she poured lighter fluid on the slot machine, and set it on fire.
The other woman was furious because she was no longer able to play. So she started fighting with the woman, and it spilled out into the parking lot.
At that point, the mad woman shot the woman who started the fire, and then fled the scene. It's unclear what their relationship is, but the police say they knew each other.
The fire-starter was rushed to the hospital, and she's okay. The police are still looking for the shooter. The woman who started the fire is probably looking at charges too but the police haven't announced anything yet.
