My parents live in this town and the city legally can’t tear the tree down to build or anything because the tree has its own legal rights and they can’t do anything about it.

how does. how does this happen. how DID this happen

I love this story because this guy in the early 1800’s had so many great childhood memories of this tree and wanted to make sure it was protected no matter what. So he deeded the ownership of the tree to itself and everyone just went with it.

Then in 1942 this intense windstorm came and knocked the tree over. And people were bummed. But someone had saved an acorn from the original tree, so they planted that and now Son of the Tree That Owns Itself is over 50 feet tall.

And since this new tree is technically the offspring of the original tree it’s considered to have legally inherited the plot of land it’s inhabiting.

Two generations of trees owning land is amazing and if you don’t think this is the coolest thing get right out of my face.

It sucks when you’re like me and really don’t like Halloween, but love Autumn and harvest imagery. Because Halloween always bleeds into it and it’s just frustrating. I want to browse the new Fall decor in retail without screaming, screeching creepy Halloween things, please!

i know that kind of rejection is incredibly painful, but it doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you.

it’s almost bizarre how cereal mascot designs can reflect the cartoons of their time

Do they even make comedies that are not rated R any more?

100% agree. I think it’s just to add shock-value crap. It’s all so uncomfortable, I can’t get through 15 minutes before I turn them off. I think the only R-rated comedy I finished because it was actually good was World’s End. But I’m stretching my memory to think of any comedy movie not R and not a family-friendly animated movie that was any good. It gets tiresome because so many premises seem great but then they weigh it down with trash and it’s not worth it to sit through.
