Probably, but mud in large quantities is terrifying on the same level of avalanches and mega tsunamis.

It has sound, and the onlookers don’t seem to find it that funny, a few wry snorts is what it sounds like. If it was pigshit or something they’d be laughing so hard they’d drop the camera.

I imagine that manure would be terrifying as well under similar circumstances.

The quarter ton of marshmallows would weigh less. Obviously.

Actually the quarter ton of marshmallows would probably weigh more. (Fortean Times was a British publication, the British long ton is 2,240 pounds/1,016.05 kg.)

A ton of feathers weighs the same as a ton of bricks, but an ounce of gold is definitely heavier than an ounce of plastic.

The new Jon Bois Chart Party starts with a story of a rigged boxing match refereed by Wyatt Earp, who was arrested at it for bringing a gun to the ring. It's kinda cool that punchsports have been the same level of super sketchy forever.

The recorded history of boxing's sketchiness goes back thousands of years. Eupolus of Thessaly was caught bribing his three opponents to throw their boxing matches in the 98th Olympics way back in 388 BC, and the judges were so pissed off they erected a statue so that no one would ever forget.

There’s a rumor that Atlanta has so many Peachtree Streets because of an ordnance banning black people from buying homes on Peachtree. I can’t find any corroboration though.
