I can’t wait to watch this new documentary by award-winning director Stacy Peralta entitled the Whopper Virgins. In the next 5 days, this documentary will reveal which is the best burger on the planet.
Whopper or Big Mac? The Whopper Virgins will decide.
Some say this is completely ridiculous and kind of offensive to other cultures. Others believe it is marketing gone mad! Give me a break! Admit it guys this stuff is interesting. I think this is a really cool publicity from Burger King. I want to know what happens after these folks take their first bite of the Whopper!

Britney Spears looks really pretty on the latest cover of Glamour Magazine– perfect timing for the December 2 release of her new album, Circus.

The bags underneath her eyes prove there’s minimal Adobe PS used in these photos.
I love Britney this way. I’m glad she’s back on her feet.

Britney Spears’ Quotes from Glamour Magazine:
“I would like to stop worrying so much, because I worry all the time. And to learn how to be happier, just in general.”
“I don’t like going out. I hate clubs. I hate being around too many people. I love my home and staying in bed and watching Dancing With the Stars or reading a Danielle Steel novel.”

“In five years I would like to be married and have a father figure for my kids, someone who is a provider and can be really stable. It’s hard doing it on your own. ”

With reverberating sonic booms, the Space Shuttle Endeavour has returned to Earth after an eventful assignment to fix parts of the International Space Station (ISS), BBC news reported on its website.
Navy Capt. Christopher J. Ferguson, the shuttle commander, skillfully guided Endeavour to a safe touch down Sunday at California’s Edwards Air Force Base.
The original plan was to land the orbiter at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, but because of storms that brought high winds, NASA ordered the astronauts to take a detour and land in sunny California.
The seven astronauts on the space shuttle conducted four spacewalks, making repairs to improve the station’s collection of solar power. The station was also expanded to house larger crews in the future.
Inside the station, ISS commander Mike Fincke supervised work on the malfunctioning water regeneration system which distils, filters, ionises and oxidises wastewater – including urine – into fresh water.
“Welcome back. That was a great way to finish a fantastic flight,” Mission Control radioed.
“And we’re happy to be here in California,” Commander Ferguson replied.

Good news for all heroin addicts out there. Now there’s a new place just right for you!
Think of luscious chocolates, elegant watches and scenic Alps. Yes junkies, you got it right! Welcome to Switzerland.
On Sunday, Swiss voters approved a change in health policy that would provide prescription heroin to addicts.
The United States and the U.N. narcotics board have criticized the program as potentially fueling drug abuse, but several other governments have started or are considering their own programs modeled on the system.
According to the Associated Press, 68% of voters supported the plan, making the heroin program permanent. It has been credited with reducing crime and improving the health and daily lives of addicts since it began in 1994.
Sorry potheads, but the Swiss appear to have rejected the decriminalization of cannabis.
Olivier Borer, 35, a musician from the northern town of Solothurn, said he welcomed the outcome in part because state action was required to help heroin addicts, but he said legalizing marijuana was a bad idea.
“I think it’s very important to help these people, but not to facilitate the using of drugs,” Borer said.
“You can just see in the Netherlands how it’s going. People just go there to smoke.”
This is how it goes in Geneva:
Patients (addicts) come to clinics each day, where they inject the drug under medical supervision — a safe place to take heroin produced by a government-approved laboratory.
Jo Lang, a Green Party member of parliament, said he was disappointed in the failure of the marijuana measure because it means 600,000 people in Switzerland will be treated as criminals because they use cannabis.
“People have died from alcohol and heroin, but not from cannabis,” Lang said.
God bless Amsterdam!
