Bracket makers take note: this past Tuesday the University of Connecticut’s women’s basketball team won their 72nd straight game, beating West Virginia by a whopping 28 points.

With a straight face they all reported no one knew how it happened. Everyone was out at the time, or supposedly it happened in the middle of the night when they all were asleep. Apparently the keg just rolled across the floor and on its own, hopped up on the sink and smashed it to pieces. Beware of empty kegs...
