Heart Attack Grill- Killer Burgers and Lard Fries

The Heart Attack grill recently was featured in a dateline bit. They got a news flash because they were the subject of a complaint that the waitresses were "impersonating Nurses" and "demeaning the nursing profession". The HAG offers sexy nurses as waitstaff, and the single, double or triple bypass burgers with fries deep fried in PURE LARD! Now that's cause for news.

Gasp!

Dateline- flatline get it?

Offworld: Boing Boing getting bloated?

Boing Boing is adding another subtopic to it's amazingly addictive blog. Called offworld, for gamers. As "progress happens" and a site gets bigger it needs to divide itself up to keep everyone happy. RE: Microsoft bloat, tries to be everything to everyone with every possible notion of what they might try to do with a PC. It is pretty clear from the term itself "PC Bloat"

I enjoy BoingBoing's main blog and the Gadgets too, though I sometimes wish I could get a digest with it all in one place. Boing Boing TV I find less captivating, perhaps because I can't set the pace, you become a passive observer, ala TV. 

 I'm not a gamer, or I might be ecstatic about a gamer subsection just for Video games.

Adding subsections with overlapping content IS an excellent way to serve more ads, because , Hey, we all gotta eat.

Radioactive Consumer goods

The LA Times reports that Radioactive waste is being recycled into all kinds of consumer products we use. Elevator buttons in France (how many times have you touched an elevator button without thinking about what is made from), Cutlery (!), sinks, & handtools, for starters. Why does the News keep getting Stranger and more Surreal?

Yikes!

Obama Wins 2008 Election by a Landslide

The Election is over. The votes are in.

Barrack Obama is President.

What a strange Campaign Season it has been. Hillary Clinton Who? Joe the Plumber? Nailin' Palin? Presidential Nominees on SNL? W.? Graffitti Artists endorsing a presidential candidate?

Was Bush a Lameduck President? I bet he is relieved to pass his problems off onto someone else.
Now we can wash our hands and make some change, we need it!

Is this an Electric Vehicle 300zx in SoCal?

I snapped a cell phone pic of this car in a parking garage in the South Bay with what appears to be an EV symbol on the gas cover lid. Is it a one off Electric / hybrid conversion or just a hoax? no other info was on the car, and a google search bore no fruit.

If you know anything about this car, please share.
