Carl’s Jr. has debuted their new Foot-long Cheeseburger that weighs in at 850 calories, 45 fat grams and a whopping 2490 milligrams of sodium.  These puppies are so salty, the City of Chicago drops them along the Loop to prevent freezing.

A recent study by the National Education Association found that 30% of America’s grammar school students have no knowledge of basic scientific principles.  Half of them identified E=Mc2 as the symbol for two Big Macs.

Owners of the debt-ridden New jersey Devils have placed the team on the auction block.   Blamed for the team’s pile of bills are high player salaries, a drop in attendance and the monthly royalties they have to pay Mel Gibson and Osama bin Laden for use of the name.
