In case your internet is broken, today is the holiday internationally recognized as Beyoncé’s 39th birthday—which means we’ll probably have it off next year for her big 4-0 (you know how Bey feels about a 4).

The first 20 times I saw Rocky III (the one with Mr. T as Clubber Lang, that bad n-word that sullied the championship so bad, the “respectable” black, retired champion Apollo Creed joined forces with Rocky to take him down), I didn’t know that the Rocky Balboa statue in that 1982 film actually existed in…
