Cancer sucks, beer doesn’t, so wouldn’t it be great if somehow it was discovered that beer led to a cure for cancer? I think so, and I’m hoping this sign is, well, a sign of things to come, or at least just funny…
From Beau Jo’s Pizza in Colorado comes the challenge and the question, “Man vs Mountain Pizza; do you have what it takes?” The challenge is a 14+ pound “mountain pie” (not your typical pizza, more of a stuffed breadbowl) to be completed in under an hour by two people.
ANY TWO PEOPLE CAPABLE OF EATING THIS PIZZA, CRUST AND ALL IN ONE HOUR AND ONE SITTING, WILL BE GIVEN THE PIE FREE OF CHARGE, AWARDED A $100.00 CASH PRIZE, AND 2 FREE BEAU JO’S T-SHIRTS.
The Pie…Our Grand Sicilian, 12-14 incredible pounds of our hamburger sausage combo pizza. Our cooks begin with super-thick 16” crust, adding pounds of green peppers, onions, mushrooms, pepperoni, sausage and hamburger. The entire pie is covered with cheese, exquisitely baked, and served to you … The Challenge
A new book by author Kitty Kelley, an unauthorized biography titled “Oprah” has a whole host of accusations about the media mogul, amongst the many are:
Oprah had secret lesbian affairs
Her production company is run like a cult
Winfrey concocted stories about sexual abuse she suffered as a child
She grossly exaggerated the poverty she was brought up in
Paid large amounts to conceal her lesbian affairs
Winfrey sold her body to earn extra money and has even described herself as a teen “prostitute”
She doesn’t know the true identity of her biological father
She won’t let her mother have her phone number and doesn’t talk to her
Last night was American Idol Gives Back night and unfortunately they can’t give me back my 2+ hours. Overall the show was okay and at least it was all for a good cause raising over 15 million dollars (and over $150 million over the years) for the Children’s Health Fund. I just wish they didn’t drag everything out so much and keep us all going on….I mean come on…we know who is taking the long flight home. Sadly for the Disney-esque “Teflon” Tim Urban had to grab his overnight bag. He clearly performed worst amongst the remaining contestants and it was no question that he would be going.
Well now we’re down to the final 6 and this is where it really starts to heat up. You see people leaving that you thought might have stood a chance…but obviously there can only be one winner. I hate to say it but Aaron actually performed well this week and I know there is a huge constituency of young female voters that are going to keep him around until the end. I’d like to see Casey be the overall winner but if he has another week like this week he won’ t make it. My odds are on Crystal, on a talent barometer…but anything can happen from here on out.
The United States Treasury just released the design for a new $100 bill that you’ll be able to use to spend on all sorts of things like all those KFC Double Downs and whatever else people buy these days. Apparently, they’re trying to stay ahead of the counterfeiters who will no doubt make a decent copy of this one in due time.
Here’s a tease, but click over to TechVert for more pics and a video of the new $100 bill.
Researchers at the University of British Columbia did a study showing groups of students slides of “stress-inducing visuals” (sick people, people blowing their nose, looking miserable, laid up in bed, etc.) and another group of pleasant visuals (I’m just throwing out there…Megan Fox, Winnie the Pooh cartoons, etc.) Turns out the ones seeing the pleasant images produced more interleukin-6, which the immune system creates to fight of infections. From this he invites the question:
“Could people trying or hoping to lose weight stimulate their bodies to burn more calories and/or be less hungry just by looking at photos of overweight people?”
I see what the guy is getting at…I certainly wouldn’t reach for the Pizza Rolls after looking at that mug below.
