MOLASSES


Well see - I had this whole mental rant about Molasses going on in my head and was going to apply it in a most smarty pants kind of way to amuse myself, but then I saw this little factoid....

A famous incident involving molasses was the Boston Molasses Disaster on January 15, 1919, in which a large molasses storage tank burst and flooded a neighborhood of Boston, killing 21 and injuring 150.

O.k. that is sooo not funny - but somehow it made me laugh out loud and forget about my rant. I mean can you imagine telling the story about how Uncle Rahbet (Boston accent) died in the Boston Molasses Disaster without cracking up.

I digress - so I will move on with my day. Take care and have a good weekend all!
