The world's biggest burger. So, so unnecessary



How about the world's biggest plate of hummus (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/8324530.stm)?

Mmmmm.........hummus, I LOVE it, especially on crackers.

I'd need quite a few crackers to use that lot up though! :D

Did you see the article (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/13/science/space/13lhc.html) in the NYT about the LHC being sabotaged by its own future?

I'm not buying this. I could give dozens of alternative explanations for this photo all having nothing to do with *ahem* "clearly" grieving. Do some animals like elephants and chimps mourn? Perhaps, but this photo doesn't "prove" it IMHO. This could easily be a case of anthropomorphism by the journalists.

Yes the bride looks "really happy with her husband" rather than a young girl forced into a marriage she really, really didn't want. :eek:
