In 2020, The spring equinox (also called the March Equinox or vernal equinox) falls next Thursday, March 19th, which is earlier than it's been for over a century! This event marks the astronomical first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.

For much of the last century, the spring equinox has occurred on March 20 or 21. This year, however, the equinox happens on the 19th, making it the earliest spring we'll have seen in our lives (so far).  The last time spring arrived this early was in 1896 - a whopping 124 years ago.

As the world crumbles around us, we can all take comfort in pizza.

If you, like 99% of people like pizza then you've got to know about the pizza box pizza from Vinnie's Pizzeria.  It is exactly what it sounds like. It's a pizza box made out of pizza and inside the 'box' there is, you guessed it, a pizza.

One of the owners created this contraption a few years ago when he noticed that customers would order a pizza to go, eat in the restaurant, and then clog up the trash can with the paper pizza boxes.

First, the base or bottom of the box is made. It's a Sicilian dough slathered in a zesty marinara sauce. Then comes parmesan, mozzarella, and oregano.

Next is the pizza that's packed into the box.  It's a classic pepperoni pizza. Last the lid. There's no sauce on this one because it's basically a giant garlic bread that's closed over the pizza. (And yes, it fits into a paper pizza box. It's a glorious thing!
