| CRANKY OLD FART'S BROWSER HISTORY #382 [archive] NOV. 14, 2023 |

Why walking backwards can be good for your health and brain
Sen Markwayne Mullin (R-Oklahoma) challenges Teamsters president to a fist-fight during hearing
Rep Kevin McCarthy (R-California) assaults Rep Tom Burchett (R-Tennessee) in halls of Congress
An hour of David Lynch listening to rain, smoking and reflecting on art
Man sells VCR on eBay and receives heartfelt letter from 86-year-old buyer
