At least he didn't have a chat with Marjolein Faber. Otherwise he'd have retroactively died two months ago.

My immediate thoughtWhy did I expect a rickroll there?

There's a thing going round Dutch media circles that the pope also spoke with Mona Keijzer, Dutch Minister of housing, appointed in the current PVV trash fire government that somehow still hasn't collapsed, and herself fairly cringe. The running gag is that if either Keijzer or Vance met the Pope at a different moment, he might still be alive instead of having died of cringe overload.

Trust me, if I were in charge of tramway clearance management, I would sound an annoying alarm at the vehicle, before having it be towed. Trying to tell the owner that they have until the tow truck arrives to remove the truck.

Not to forget that many vans have an okay towing capacity, so you can just use a trailer.

I wonder what surviving human held the record before balloons (excluding edge cases like jumping gaps on a mountain bridge). Probably it was someone falling from a cliff into snow or water, but maybe it involved something weird like a gunpowder explosion or volcano.

Because they use a honey comb.

Me: Is this birdcage made out of nickel?
Pet Store: Aluminum I think
Me: So there's no nickel in this cage?
Pet Store: Don't you dare!
Me: It's a nickleless cage
Pet Store: GET OUT!

Pretty much what it says on the tin.
