Man On A Hunt For The Worst Dad Jokes Goes Viral (60 Pics)
Tom Schruben lives in Kensington, Maryland, a suburb of Washington DC with his wife Ann and their youngest daughter Darcy. He's 62 years old and does consulting on environmental engineering. And he's also the symbol of his neighborhood. You see, when the pandemic hit, like with most of the country, the burden of threat and uncertainty loomed over Tom and his neighbors as well.
So, to give everyone a break from their worries, Tom started putting up a whiteboard in front of his family house every morning with a new dad joke, and the fun little initiative was just what people, including Tom himself. Its effects, however, turned out to be anything but little.
"I have been very gratified how much of an impact such a simple thing can have on the world," the man told Bored Panda. "I never imagined that my jokes would become the daily reading lesson for eager 5 and 6-year-old children. Or that I would hear from people across the country that I had lost touch with many years ago who saw my name in a newspaper or a social media post. Or that my older children would appreciate my jokes - they certainly acted like they didn't like them when they were younger, especially when I told dad jokes in front of their friends. Putting up a joke each day is a bit of an anchor that helps me stay centered in these crazy, stressful times."

17 Snowboarding Facts Which Will Blow Your Mind
Winter is coming and there is only one thing better than hitting up the slopes with your trusty board, crew, and of course the fresh pow. That thing is a beer and being equipped with an arsenal of snowboarding facts that will make your buddies envious of your knowledge.
Chow down on these gems and make sure to share them with your buddies.
Snowboarding Facts
#Snowboarding was called Snurfing
You read that right. Snowboarding was invented in 1960 by an engineer living in Muskegon, Michigan who went by the name of Sherman Poppen. He strapped two ski’s together and used rope for steering.
Needless to say, the fellow looked like he was surfing and so the wife blessed the act with the name Snurfing which combined the words ‘Snow’ and ‘Surfing’.
Luckily for us, other snowboarding companies such as Burton saw the potential of the sport and made it more desirable by changing up the board which leaves us with the design that we use today.
#Snowboarding is less dangerous than Skiing
It is difficult to think of skiing as a sport that can be more dangerous than snowboarding.
Considering that there are more young males showing off and doing dumb shit, but the fact remains that yes, people on skis are more likely to get hurt.

Which sport do you prefer? Snowboarding or Skiing
Leave a comment below and tell us why you like that sport more
If you are a beginner in snowboarding, make sure to read this article so that you can reduce your chances of broken wrists, shoulders and collar bones. The best thing is once you learn a simple trick you will immediately know what not to do in the future to prevent major injuries.
# Snowboarding was actually banned at resorts in the early 1980’s
Kind of hard to believe these days that snowboarding could be banned but back in the day, skiing targetted the older demographic, whereas snowboarding was looked at as being for the youth.
Because of that, it was more dangerous and a “teenage fad”. Needless to say, that is now history. The first resort to open up for snowboarding was Stratton Mountain Resort in Vermont in 1983-84 and because of that, this resort is still very popular for snowboarders.
Also was a great move as these days 30%+ of all winter sports revenue comes from snowboarding, which is pretty neat.
#The most flips ever done on a snowboard in a single jump was 4
That would equate to 360+360+360+360 = 1440
No matter how you look at it, that is amazing.
Now that is amazing but when you think about the huge amount of hours, snowboarding gear and training that went into preparing for the feat, it then becomes mind-blowingly impressive.
What’re the most flips you ever have done? Comment below
#Snowboarding became a Winter Olympic sport
“Wow. No shit. Tell me something I don’t know” said pretty much, everyone.
Well, it was first introduced in the 1998 Winter Olympic games in Nagano, Japan.
For many of us, we probably won’t make it to the Olympics for snowboarding, but if you are seeking the thrill of hitting the slopes in competitions than you have to check out these snowboarding games.
Definitely isn’t the same feeling but at least you can do 1440 and realize how crazily difficult that really is.

#Shaun White won the most x games medals which were the total of 16
#The youngest X-Games medal winner was Chloe Kim at the young age of 14
#There are six competition venues at the X Games: Slopestyle, Street, Snowmobile, X Course, SuperPipe and Big Air.
#2011 marked the most-watched Winter X Games ever, with 114,200 people in attendance and 39.7 million tuning in from home during the four-day event

#The first Olympic medal for snowboarding almost went up in smoke!
The first Olympic gold medal in snowboarding was won by Ross Rebagliati of Canada. After he won he got temporarily disqualified as he tested positive for marijuana in his blood.
Needless to say, the disqualification got overturned and he smoked a joint after to celebrate his victory.
He literally became an advocate for medicinal marijuana and owns his own medicinal marijuana dispensary these days.
#1498 shredding Bikini’s
In 2017, 1498 snowboard enthusiasts hit up the slopes at the Sheregesh ski resort, located in the heart of Siberia to break a world record of the most snowboarders dressed in Bikini’s shredding the slopes. They were able to beat the previous record of by a massive 387 people.
The snow was crispy, the temperature was only 12 degrees Celcius (53.6F) but for some reason, it was still steamy on the slopes.

#$31,313.13
That is the price of the most expensive snowboard ever sold. It was the 1977 Burton Experimental Prototype and was sold on eBay on July 1, 2014
Would you ever consider buying a board that expensive?
#27.4% injuries during the Olympics
Winter Olympics, in general, ends up with a bigger list of injuries than the summer sports. But when it comes to snowboarding 27.4% of all it’s athletes walk off with some sort of an injury.
That is 1 in ever 4 contestants push themselves past their limits. (source: British journal of sports medicine)
How do you like those odds.
#1 hour of snowboarding is equivalent to 3 beers
If you decided to snowboard for an hour you could lose upwards of 450 calories, which in turn would be equivalent to 3 beers.
This means if you want to get properly wasted and not put on the extra pounds, all you have to do is snowboard between 3-4 hours (we don’t actually recommend getting drunk)
#Shredding the Pipe on fresh Pow
Snowboarding has its own unique community that some say is one of the best in the world, and with the community, there is also a very radical and interesting lingo that has been created.
Luckily it’s super easy to pick up and best of all being a young sport, there is plenty of opportunities to create your very own words that could get mixed into the language.
So how about Shrepp (shredding the pipe) Do you think it could take off?
#It’s a Man’s Sport
The population of snowboarders is dominated by 73.1% being under the age of 25 and 51.7% of snowboarders are under the age of 17. Also, 74.2% of snowboarders are male.
#The Biggest Trick of 2017
In 2017 a Japanese snowboarder by the name of Yuki Kadano was able to pull off a quad jump “the Backside Quad 1980°” which is now the biggest rotation ever performed on a snowboard.
If you are on your way to doing 1980 then make sure to check out how to jump on a snowboard to get the basics which will allow you to conquer the jump faster.
So those are the top 17 interesting snowboarding facts that I could find online after scouring for hours.
