Bacon is good, porkchops are good, Trivia is goodest!

“Bacon is good, porkchops are good. . . “

V. Vega

Any Simpsons fan know that pigs are a magical animal. The foods that come from this creature are myriad and wonderful.


If you've spent any time on the internet in the past decade or so, you have probably noticed a surge in bacon products and memes,


You may have thought that it was a grassroots groundswell of love for this tasty cured, salted, greasy goodness. Health issues aside, don't you think the world is a better place with all this bacon in it?

It turns out we have all been manipulated by BIG BACON.

It's still delicious, though.

Clash of the Titans Arum!

Corpse flowers are blooming all over the US, and no one is quite sure why.

Many plants have flowers that produce a sweet aroma to attract bees and other insects as pollinators.  The Corpse Flower uses a similar strategy, but with some slightly different tactics.
When the flower blooms it produces a stench that's been described as a 

"foul odor — sort of the odor you get from a decaying carcass, roadkill if you will, or that odor you see on the bottom of a dumpster after a hot summer day,"

Instead of attracting bees, or any other usual pollinators, it uses this stink to attract decomposers to do the work instead.

These flowers all seem to have individual bloom cycles - usually up to seven years before their first bloom, and can go a decade or more between blooms.
But now they have synced up.

BUT WHY?!

CHOOSE YOUR OWN PUNCHLINE:
A.  Because of Trump's latest statement!
B.  Because of the Zika and poop in the water at the Olympics!
C.  Because of you, all right?  Because I watched you!

Tonight's Question:
