The majority of the album consists of generic rapper beats sprinkled with vague Dungeons & Dragons references, with one song literally containing the chorus "Dungeons, dragons, kings, and queens." Nailed it, HBO. For a minute we were worried that this rap fantasy mixtape was a huge waste of everyone's time.

An Olympic Athlete Changed His Name to an Underwear Brand in Exchange for Sponsorship
Back in 2008, Princess Salote of the island nation of Tonga put out a call to her people asking for one brave athlete to step forward and train to become the country's first Winter Olympian. Twenty-one-year-old Bruno Banani accepted the challenge and trained with the German luge team until finally qualifying for the Sochi Olympics last month.

His speed suit is made entirely out of unsold male thongs.
Unfortunately, the entire story is a lie. See, the man's real name is Fuahea Semi, and when German underwear company Bruno Banani decided to fund his training, they did it on the condition that he would change his name to Bruno Banani and become the spokesman for their new line of underpants. They were apparently gambling heavily on nobody noticing the fact that their athlete serendipitously had the exact same name as their company. This is essentially the same as Coca-Cola agreeing to sponsor Michael Phelps and forcing him to change his name to CokeSprite Johnson.
