The "Odyssey Rejects" (@OdysseyRejects) Twitter handle, or in my opinion, one of the funniest accounts on twitter, solely pokes fun at the "basic" or overused Odyssey article titles. This account is made up of a list of article ideas that probably wouldn't make the cut to be published for Odyssey Online. My friends and I will scroll through the account for hours laughing at each and every one of the ideas and trying to decide which one is our absolute favorite. Here are a few of the best and funniest article ideas (in my opinion).
