It gets even better

Major Dick Bong was America's top flying ace in WWII. Seriously, sort this list by victories

I used to live on a street named after him. People always thought I was making up my address.

That person also had a small museum dedicated to them in Superior Wisconsin. I used to drive by it almost everyday and I always thought about how often stoners must have made a trip to “The Bong Museum” and ended up being greatly disappointed.

Also there are two major bridges that go from Duluth MN to Superior WI. One is known colloquially as the “High Bridge” (because it’s the highest) and one is the “Bong Bridge” which is named after the pilot and also is the bridge that lights up. I feel like this must have been on purpose.

I always thought that Big Bone Lick was a pretty funny name for a state park.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
