UCF Knights "championship"
Oh god, this again. For fans of the University of Central Florida football team, the fact that they claimed to have won a national championship after an undefeated 2017 season and then hung a permanent banner on the team's stadium is the gift that keeps on giving. As for the rest of us – those who don't revel in the truth only when it's convenient – it's become a bit of a headache. But the show must go on ... the shit show, that is.
Disney's giant Woody
Back in April, Disney was very excited to open Toy Story Land at Hollywood Studios, and in doing so, they announced to everyone that they had erected a giant 20-foot Woody at the entrance of the new land. Though there was no mention of girth, Disney did also tell us the statue had a 7-foot-wide hat and a 4-foot-tall yo-yo. Naturally, the announcement made all stand at attention.
