How to make big money by eating like a pig

Lasst week this presumably single guy became the world Burrito Eating Champion by downing 33.5 burritos in 10 minutes and ended up having his fat face splattered all over the news papers.

Now, the question is: why didn’t Taco Bell

sponsor this competition in order to get all the free publicity? Which brings us to our money making scheme: make a career out of having corporations sponsor your disgusting food fetish!

Another celebrity in the hall of fame of eaters is the world's fastest hot dog eater - Joey Chesnut (picture to the right) - he won the world famous Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest by eating 68 hot dogs in only 10 minutes! Prize: 20.000 US$. Additionally, he holds world records for eating:

10.5 pounds of macaroni and cheese in 7 minutes
9.8 pounds pork rib meat in 12 minutes
4.5 pounds of steak plus sides in less than 9 minutes
241 chicken wings
103 Krystal Hamburgers in 8 minutes

Homer loves beer and donuts but as the Simpsons are a very popular family they have to come over with problems, we all have. So the British Healt Minister Gilian Merron decided, that with the familiarity of the Simpsons it would be possible to communicate the desires oft the government.

Bunnies keep Swedes warm

Green energy is a key factor in the worlds efforts to accomplish the defeat of global warming. The car industry is counting on hybrid technology and invests more and more in electro cars. The energy industry sees its future not in oil

but in gas and solar power. Sweden and more in detail Stockholm apparently got some other plans...

According to the swedish "The Local" the city of Stockholm is turning to another alternative engergy source: RABBITS.

If you should be thinking of cute little bunnies, running in a wheel trying to catch a delicious

carrot, then you are kind of wrong. In fact, instead of using rabbits to power the city with green "moving" energy Stockholm decided to do the right and ... easiest thing: to burn them...

In fact, Stockholm's parks are suffering from a huge rabbit problem. To protect the trees and shrubbery in the city they need to battle those little bastards. And instead of throwing those little bodies away they had a more innovative way of doing so...

Good idea or bad idea ... efficient or horrible ... in any case ... I WONT TELL MY LITTLE COUSINS!!

Disney-Robot can sense if you're happy

Disney unveiled it's first-ever robot that can hear, see and sense whether or not you’re in the room. Yes, “Otto” (picture to the left) is interactive. The robot can sense if you’re happy, hold conversations and react, according to Imagineer Scott Trowbridge.

Otto is based on the new Autonomatronics technology which is different from Audio-Animatronics technology. Audio-Animatronics technology repeats a pre-programmed show over and over again. Autonomatronics technology is driven by sophisticated cameras and sensors giving Otto the ability to make choices about what to say and do.
