The chaps at Jalopnik shared a story this week so improbable and wonderful that we just had to share it here. Official Release: Automotive legends from the 1970s and 1980s will line up for the start of the twelfth ‘Creme 21 Youngtimer Rally’ in Spa,…It has all of Donald Trump's favourite words: wall, great, China.But not even that association could save Matt Damon's fantasy epic from box office failure this weekend.The Great Wall is set to debut at a paltry $19million over the four day Presidents Day weekend, according to The Hollywood Reporter. It will come in well behind of fellow brick fest The Lego Batman Movie, which is expected to stack up another $40million, despite this being its second week.The hilarious and family-friendly caper, starring Will Arnett, Ralph Fiennes, Zach Galifianakis, Michael Cera, Rosario Dawson, and Mariah Carey, is set to bypass the $100million mark this weekend. The Great Wall won't even manage second — it will be pushed into third by another second-weeker: 50 Shades Darker, which is expected to reap another $25million.
The Zhang Yimou-directed flick 's $19million haul is extra disappointing,when compared to its $150million budget. However it has that well covered in its home market of China, where it has already netted $171million, on top of the $54million it raked in in foreign markets. Keanu Reeves assassin action sequel John Wick Chapter 2 will nab fourth place this weekend.Meanwhile comedy Fist Fight, starring Ice Cube, Charlie Day, Christina Hendricks, and Tracy Morgan, will round out the top five.Gore Verbinski's horror Cure for Wellness is another set to make a disappointing debut, with a projected $5million opening off a $40million budget.M Night Shymalan and James McAvoy's horror Split remains the one to beat in 2017 so far, with a $118million tally as of last weekend.

I’ve read that our universe is constantly expanding but that we can’t tell because we’re expanding with it and so we are get bigger at the same rate everything else does.
So does that mean that if we traveled back into the past with a time machine that we might be bigger than the dinosaurs since they were around when the universe was smaller? Either way, I think it explains why I feel so fat today.
