Who would win in a fight? Rocky or Rambo? Well, Sylvester Stallone weighed in on Instagram, and his answer was . . . not much of an answer, frankly.
First he said, quote, "If it's two men meeting in the street and going at each other with no rules I believe the outcome would be . . . If the fighters [were] to remain upright Rocky would prevail.
"His body punches and right hooks would eventually beat Rambo. If the fight goes to the ground, Rambo will prevail in a bloody brutal fight to the end.
But then he got even more vague. He said, quote, "Rethinking this scenario, I believe that upon initial contact, since they will not be in the rain but fighting outside, basically a street fight, that Rocky will land the first five or six blows.
"If that does not incapacitate Rambo, which I don't think he will unless he's caught clean, Rambo's skill set will definitely be in full display.
"Which means incredibly vicious assaults on the eyes, the throat, every vulnerable part of the body eventually leading to being pulled to the ground and most likely mauled.
"Then again Rocky is incredibly resilient and pretty good on the ground too!!! That's my opinion in this fictional world. Final result is neither man will ever be the same."

There are probably more important things happening in the world, but if you're someone who is passionate about counter space you should know that there's a major battle regarding toasters happening on social media.
There are the people who leave their toaster out on the counter . . . so it's ready to go whenever there's toast to be made (73%), and there are others who want it cleared away after use, and stored in a hidden-away place, freeing up the counter. (23%)
On one hand, yes, having too many appliances out can get in the way. But . . . waiting until your toaster is safely cooled down, unplugging it and packing it away, and then getting it back out every day seems like more trouble than it's worth.

Two police officers in Virginia were arresting a guy for a domestic assault last month when he tried to run. He took off on foot, and they started chasing him through a field.
Then out of nowhere a farm animal joined in.
One of the cops was running through the field trying to catch the guy, when a goat from a neighboring farm decided to chase him too.
It ran past the cop . . . made it through a fence . . . kept gaining on the guy . . . and chased him into a wooded area.
The cop actually stopped for a second when he saw the goat . . . like he just needed to process what was happening, because it was so weird.
The goat then helped flush the guy out of the woods, and he got arrested. Now people online want the police to give the goat an official commendation for helping.

Today's Useless Fact of the Day - Today is Mario Day. Donkey Kong was the first game. Mario was originally known as Jumpman. However, when Nintendo's US office were trying to think of a better name in time for the American release of the game, they were interrupted by their landlord Mario Segale, after whom they christened the character.
Mario was originally a carpenter, not a plumber. He's also appeared as a doctor in the 1990 puzzle title Dr. Mario and its sequels.
