Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for February 22, 2024

Amelia and her rocks. It’s her most admirable quality.

Wonder what happened to Rex the Crab?

=== ☆ The more you know….

OK, so now we’re all googling April 11th, 1954. I’ll get back to you.

Next time you hear a friend complain that “today was the most boring day in history,” you can tell them to prove it.

A Cambridge scientist has developed a computer program to calculate the most lackluster day since 1900, the Telegraph reports.

The verdict? April 11, 1954.

My late brother celebrated his 7th birthday on April 11, 1954. Whoop-de-do!

I love the details of the scene like the “missing rex” poster and the kicked stone bouncing down the stairs. Great job!

In the beginning, the earth was formless and desolate. On day one, someone turned the light on.

A real snoozer.

Anybody seen Rex? Asking for a friend.

April 11th 1954 I was in Geometry class. You wanna know boring…..

No day when Ferrari win is boring. /tifosi

“You’re just absolutely right, and I’m absolutely wrong. It must be nice to ALWAYS think you know better; to always think you’re the smartest person in the room.” -——- “No, it’s awful.”

Since the New York Giants won the World Series that year….O well….

Someone find Rex!

Amelia’s spirit animal..!

All this discussion of the most boring day while the mystery of Rex’s disappearance remains unsolved. Priorities people!!

The shooting star under Rose’s “Actually”….You can hear her tone of voice with it!

OMG. she’s right

Sorry Rose. “Widely believed” does not mean WAS.

A crab named Rex. Heh-heh. Heh.

Will Rose’s head explode from too much knowledge? Will Amelia find more rocks? What does Seagull know about the missing Rex? Tune in next time for It’s a Ho-Hum Day, or Crabcakes Anynone?

I sure hope they find Rex.

Although I love Wallace & Spud, its nice to occasionally see the minor players on center stage.

Just the most boring day since 1900. There may have been more boring days before then.

Hope Rex is found.

Only by comparison. On April 12, 1954, I was born ~ the least boring day ever.

There may be hope, Rose did misspell irritating.

August & September 1954 weren’t boring in New England, “the twins” hurricanes Carol August 31st and Edna September 11th, that affected them in that area.

Rex is missing!!!

I can vouch for that, 9 days after my 9th birthday, I remember it well absolutely nothing to do, our cow died so no milking, school bus broke down so no school.

According to William Tunstall-Pedoe, it was the most boring day: cbsnews dot com/news/was-april-11-1954-the-most-boring-day-in-history/

If we find Rex who do we return him to?

I was about to ask what was special about April 11th, 1954…then I realized there obviously wouldn’t be anything special about it if it was truly the most boring day, so… :P

Who would have Rex as a pet? Sasquatch, of course

April 11th, 1954 may have been the most boring day of the 20th century, but it was certainly not the most uninteresting, because the very fact of its being the most boring day automatically makes it interesting (if you are a trivia fan)!

Must find Rex…

I fear the worst for Rex. It’s crab season on this coast.

Well I’ll be— I was born just fifteen days before that date? Coincidence? Hmmm…

Sometimes Rose looks like a very sad child.

Cobwebs are breaking out in this Comment section

Historians and scientists, though the study of tree rings and ice cores, have determined 536 AD as the worst year to be alive. It is believed that, the year before, 535, there was a volcanic eruption somewhere on the planet. It might have been in the Western Hemisphere, it may have been an early eruption of Krakatoa. But it put so much debris in the atmosphere that it darkened the sky. There were crop failures, livestock breakdowns, etc, for the next several years. This was also about the time of the start of the plague of Justinian, which wiped out a good portion of the population of Europe. So, no, not a good time to exist.

Eventually Rose will realize that she can make sh*t up and people will believe it because she know so much trivia. It works for me, but I have to make sure my friends can see my eyes twinkling.

Poor Rex!
