Wendy’s has a new cheeseburger called the “Baconator“.  That is such a great name for a burger!  It is a double cheeseburger with 6 strips of bacon on it.  Of course I had to try this (to review for my readers, of course).  🙂  I got it with just cheese, mayo, and bacon, so the other toppings wouldn’t get in the way.

It tastes similar to a typical Wendy’s double cheeseburger (which is a good thing).  The bacon didn’t add quite as much flavor as I expected.  It was still good, but it’s not a “strong” bacon.  Nonetheless, I recommend it (in moderation).  Although, I seem to remember some important doctor talking about a bacon and cheese diet, so surely this would be part of it.  If that “doctor” is right, then you could eat these all the time.  But there have been some disputes as to whether he is a fraud or not.

[Warning: the link above to Wendy’s website has a link to the nutritional information for it, but if you plan to eat one, I recommend that you avoid looking at the total calories and fat grams.]

A recent study performed by an online insurance company on 100,000 drivers implies that you’re likelihood to get a ticket or be in a wreck may be tied to your zodiac sign.  Check it out here and here.   The ‘study’ shows Libras (born between Sept. 23 and Oct. 22) and  Aquarians (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) to be the worst drivers, and Leos (July 23-Aug. 22) and Gemini’s (May 21-June 20) as the best.  Personally I’d like to see a similar study done on the difference in driving habits of men and women.  Could be interesting. 🙂

An amateur scientist has shot video of what he suspects to be Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster.  The legend continues…

Follow this link for a video news report, including an interview with the man who shot the footage.

I could provide more details from the news story, but this isn’t a news service.  However, this is worth mentioning here because we have something that the leading brand news sites don’t have : a story about a group of explorers that find Nessie.  Yes, in our current free-for-all story, the Explorers Extraordinaire have found Nessie, along with several other unexpected things.  The events occurring in the story might not all be validated by scientific research, but they are funny.  🙂  Okay, so maybe none of it has really happened, but that’s because it’s fiction.  But it’s a good read.  And, at the time of this writing, it’s still not finished, so anybody can contribute the next piece of the story.  You should check it out.  It’s a good time.  It’s funny, random, and very much unpredictable.  It’s also fresh, original humor that you can’t find anywhere else.  And, it also makes you wonder what might be in the depths of the Loch, in the unexplored regions…
