Links For Super Bowl Sunday

Tonight, the NFL championship game, known as Super Bowl LIII, will be played in Atlanta between the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams.  For the married ladies out there, in a few hours, the football season will end and you and your husband will be returned to your regularly scheduled marriage.  Meanwhile, here are some other things going on:



From SwissInfo, how the Swiss folktale Heidi changed American football.  (I remember watching the TV adaptation, in which the title character visits her city-dwelling cousin.  The two girls greet each other with "You smell like cheese." and "You smell like medicine.")








From CTV News, two children in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada are hospitalized after eating a chocolate bar containing cannabis.  (Although Canada has legalized cannabis for smoking, using it in edible products is still illegal.)
















From Egypt Today, Egypt envisions a road from Cairo to Capetown.  (The British once had plans for a railroad connecting those two cities, when they had colonized most of the area between them.)












From Fox 5, ICE arrests that rapper known as 21 Savage in Atlanta for overstaying his visa.  (Foreigners who overstay their visas are illegal aliens, just as border-jumpers are.  The story comes via Breitbart.)
