The Doha Round of trade talks in the World Trade Organization recently ground to a halt. Seven years of negotiating give-and-take ended with no agreement. Apparently, bananas were one of the “last straws” that may have killed any chance for success.
And to think, if they could have just hung on a few years more, there wouldn’t be any bananas to fight over, and we would be able to solve the thorny issues of global trade. Sad; very sad…
A couple was recently arrested in Pennsylvania after an 18-month crime spree that left police with, well, egg on their faces. You see, these two master criminals had damaged property belonging to more than 400 people. The shame! Their insidious method? Eggs, of course; indiscriminate egg-tossing.
Frat pranks are alive and well, it appears. I’m sure all the eggs-asperated victims are cackling happily, now that these two bad eggs are no longer free to shell their precious stuff…
And finally, just when you throught it was safe to take your diet to breakfast: Carl’s has a new monster breakfast sandwich available! Not to worry, though; it’s only 730 calories, packed neatly into two eggs (ones left over from the Pennsylvania crime spree, no doubt), two strips of bacon, cheese, and a big fat burger sausage patty between pieces of grilled sourdough (47 grams of fat). That’s about 200 calories less than competitor sister chain Hardee’s new Country Breakfast Burrito (60 grams of fat!).
How much is that, really? Well, you could have five glazed donuts (not Krispy Kreme!) or five McDonald’s hamburgers instead. Your choice.
It’ll leave you, what, room for a kumquat and all the celery you can stand?
Enjoy the (Jumbo-Sized) Heat!
