10-04-2024 - On This Day in Insane History

On October 4th, 2024 in the small town of Cranberry Lake, New Jersey, something most peculiar occurred. It was precisely 9:50 in the morning when local resident Juan Perez was outside hanging up his laundry. Juan enjoyed this quiet time of day, with the morning dew still fresh on the grass and the birds just starting to sing their songs. But on this particular day, the peace was suddenly disrupted.

Without warning, the largest potato anyone had ever seen fell out of the sky and landed directly in Juan's basket of freshly washed clothes. Weighing in at an astonishing 17 pounds, this enormous spud seemed like it had fallen straight from the heavens. But potatoes don't normally grow to such tremendous sizes, nor do they hurl themselves from the atmosphere. How did this starchy satellite make its surprising appearance?

The entire town was perplexed. Experts were summoned to investigate, and a crop duster pilot even checked his plane for clues, but no ordinary explanation could be found. Some residents speculated that an extraterrestrial vessel must have launched the potato, while others wondered if some genetic experiment gone awry could be to blame. To this day, the mystery of the massive falling potato remains unsolved. All we can say for certain is that on that fateful October morning, something dropped in unexpectedly on the small town of Cranberry Lake.
