This is so expected

Make newspaper hats for yourself and 50 of your closest friends.

I remember I saved all the newspapers I could get my hands on of September 12, 2001.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Any particular reason for saving Sept 12 newspaper other than for historical documentation?

Because everyone was like zomg and I was like OMG and my mom was like DEAR LORD so I went out and got every newspaper the following day. I ended up throwing them out the following week, I think I just got caught up the moment and bought them and decided to save them, before I realized how useless that was.

I remember after the London bombings in 2005, some guy at the LA Daily News who thought he was cleverer than he actually is, titled the front page article on the incident "BLOODY HELL".

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Probably because I didn't really feel like carrying them around with me for the next 70 years before they begin to pay off.

Besides, maybe I'm just BLIND with youth or something but weren't newspapers far less prevalent back in 1941? Now everyone and their dead grandfather gets the New York Times, LA Times and hack local newspaper.

Yeah yeah I know, internet and TV news replace the printed word but I'm still not convinced that the literacy rate were what it is now, nor the technological ability to hack down entire rainforest to print those Macy's ads everyone throws out.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
