On this mild autumn day we鈥檙e looking at a successful long weekend of advanced polling, and also debunking a myth perpetuated by a 2004 hit single.
Fun Fact of the day:
When OutKast released its number-one hit Hey Ya in 2004, the Atlanta-based hip hop duo may have done more harm than good for those who value well-cared-for Polaroids.
The song鈥檚 famous refrain is a call to 鈥渟hake it like a Polaroid picture,鈥� but Polaroid followed the song鈥檚 release with a bit of clarification on its website. The company said that while shaking photos once helped them to dry, modern Polaroid film dries behind a clear plastic window and therefore never touches the air. That means shaking or waving has no effect, and can in fact just cause damage to the image.
There are many wise words in the lyrical catalogue of Andr茅 3000 and Big Boi, but it鈥檚 better not to take these ones literally.
馃幎Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it.
