Willy Lost his Willy... on a beach

Ms. Wit

   Imagine walking down the beautiful coastline of Queens Island Australia, the sunlight falling warm and cozy on your face, as the cool sea breeze races through your hair. Then, BOOM, 3 foot long whale penis laying in your path!!!! Well this is exactly what happened to this young Tiktoker.

        Not knowing what the object originally was, an army of loyal Tiktok residents have united, including the Australian Yahoo! team who turned to wildlife scientist Dr. Vanessa Pirotta. Dr. Pirotta believes that it may very likely in fact be a whale penis. Humpback whales are knows to migrate to the region to mate in this season so it's not unlikely. This begs the question WHY? Why did some poor whale in the big broad sea have to loose his Willy. Some have concluded it was bitten of in the fierce mating battle grounds by a competing humpback. A theory debunked by Dr. Pirotta, who says that whale have no teeth, instead some "hairlike strands known as baleen" so it is unlikely that an other whale can be physically capable of biting off another whale's penis.

What is Surge Pricing and Why is Wendy's hopping on the train

Wendy's CEO Plans to Incorporate Surge Pricing      As early as 2025 Wendy's CEO, Kirk Tanner, announces the introduction of surge pricing. What is surge pricing? We see it all the time, when airplanes and travel agencies change prices based on holidays and seasonal and off season deals; when Lyft and Uber change prices based on time of day, weather and other factors; when bars incorporate Happy hours as opposed to other times of day.      The idea is to create and even pace of revenue through out the day and eliminate the loss from less productive parts of the day. Weather this means better prices during slow periods of the day to increase sales, or price gauging at these times to increase revenue is still too be seen.         Tanner states  “Beginning as early as 2025, we will begin testing more enhanced features like dynamic pricing and daypart offerings, along with AI-enabled menu changes and suggestive selling.
