"Fall" has two meanings
That article was written before they lost game 2. So now it's fifteen in a row - a record unlikely to ever be broken."Minnesotans have a high tolerance for playoff pain. That comes from watching the Vikings lose four consecutive Super Bowls and six straight NFC championship games.
And from witnessing 29 seasons without a Timberwolves championship, as well as 46 years of North Stars and Wild hockey without a Stanley Cup.
The Twins added to this ignominious history on Friday night by breaking baseball’s record for most consecutive postseason losses. Their 10-4 loss to the New York Yankees extended their playoff losing streak to fourteen — eleven of them coming at the hands of their Bronx tormentors.
The Twins have not won a playoff game since taking the opener of the 2004 American League Division Series at Yankee Stadium. New York took the next three games to clinch that series."
Addendum: The Twins lost game 3. So they now hold the all-time never-to-be-beaten world record of 16 playoff losses in a row.

Denmark offers to buy the United States
COPENHAGEN—After rebuffing Donald J. Trump’s hypothetical proposal to purchase Greenland, the government of Denmark has announced that it would be interested in buying the United States instead.Excerpted from The Borowitz Report in The New Yorker.
“As we have stated, Greenland is not for sale,” a spokesperson for the Danish government said on Friday. “We have noted, however, that during the Trump regime pretty much everything in the United States, including its government, has most definitely been for sale.”..
If Denmark’s bid for the United States is accepted, the Scandinavian nation has ambitious plans for its new acquisition. “We believe that, by giving the U.S. an educational system and national health care, it could be transformed from a vast land mass into a great nation,” the spokesperson said.

"Please be chicken" (was)
Via Reddit, where this comment explained the oddity: "I worked at Popeyes for 5 years. This looks like a promotion called rip'n chik'n. It's basically a chicken breast sliced up into 5 pieces, but not all the way down so its still connected. That way the customer can rip it into pieces. It mostly looked like hands, but sometimes the smaller ones would come out weird like that."

Not an elephant
An overflowing cupcake - "both the blowout and the dark color on top can signal an oven that was too hot. Or maybe the cakes were too close to the top element? Too hot and the cake will form a crust too early in the bake, not allowing for an even rise. Instead the rising batter will find the path of least resistance and force itself the heck outta there."
