🗓️ On this day, August 2nd in 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait starting the Gulf War. But here's a quirky spin: did you know that before the war, the video game industry was seriously struggling in the States? When the Gulf War happened, video games that featured war scenarios suddenly spiked in popularity. It's wild to think how world events can shape our entertainment! 🎮🌍

🎉💃 Criticism Mounts as Mayor Hires Exotic Dancers for Father's Day Festivities

So, there's this mayor in Huehuetán, a town in Chiapas, Mexico, who thought it would be a brilliant idea to celebrate Father's Day with strippers. Yeah, you heard it right! Mayor Manuel Ángel Villalobos promised a memorable Father's Day bash to the men of his town, complete with a 'show, surprises, and presents.' Women and kids weren't invited, though, as this turned out to be a pretty risqué affair.

The men of Huehuetán had a blast - there were raffle prizes, music, and a sultry performance by a trio of scantily clad women. Some brave souls even got on stage for a closer experience. However, not everyone was thrilled. Some local women and their kids, who ignored the 'no women, no children' rule, were in for a shock and soon left the place. The mayor faced serious backlash for the sexual content of the performance, especially from a feminist group called 50+1. They argued that Father's Day should be about celebrating the role of dads in the family, not objectifying women. The mayor? He just shrugged off the controversy, telling the guys he hoped they had a good time. (Source)

🔥🚘 Unplanned Hero: Man on Wrong Turn Saves Family From House Fire

So this guy in Omaha, Nebraska, Brendan Birt, was just driving around and took a wrong turn. You won't believe what happened next. He spotted a house on fire, no joke! It's like his car had a homing device for heroics. Not wasting a second, he started banging on the windows and dialed 911. He just had this gut feeling that someone was inside because, you know, it was late at night.

Caught on doorbell cam, three kids and their 22-year-old bro, who was babysitting them, came sprinting out the door. Even Brendan was shook when he saw them, saying he felt like breaking down and crying. Their mom, Tender Lehman, who was out of town for a family emergency, now thinks of Birt, who’s actually a singer/musician, as part of the fam. Talk about a miracle! Their house wasn't insured, but hey, people are chipping in on GoFundMe and they've already got $21K of their $30K goal. (Source)

🛸 Belief in UFOs Skyrocketing Among Americans: A Historical Resurgence or a New Reality?

Okay, so here's the tea: interest in UFOs is booming again, and it's not just for the tinfoil hat wearers anymore. Thanks to new government interest and a bunch of juicy declassified reports, more and more Americans are starting to believe that we're not alone. In fact, almost half the country thinks the military's UFO reports are either proof of extraterrestrial life or, at the very least, some pretty solid evidence. And let's face it, with nearly 70% of us believing the government knows more about UFOs than it's letting on, who can blame them?

Now, don't get me wrong, we still don't have that blockbuster, ET-phone-home proof of aliens. But we've got stories from reliable sources, like Navy fighter pilots, who've seen some pretty freaky, unexplainable stuff. This new wave of UFO enthusiasm is a major win for the ufologists out there, who've been saying for years that there's more to those mysterious lights in the sky. But it's not just about aliens and conspiracy theories anymore. There's a real push for transparency from the government and a growing belief that accepting the possibility of UFOs might just be part of our search for meaning. So, whether you're a believer or a skeptic, grab your popcorn. The UFO show is just getting started! 🍿 (Source)

Gotcha stumped, didn't we? Well, here's the key: think of the wheel as a pie chart, where each number and its corresponding section represents a certain percentage. Subtract the sum of the given numbers (66 in this case) from 100, and voila - you get 34. Was that mind-boggling or what?
