Smile Saw this and became hungry.

Woman collapses at Heart Attack Grill while eating Double Bypass burger - Yahoo! Lifestyle UK

Idiotic! As the name suggests, to eat such amounts of said foodstuffs will PROB 80 induce some sort of cardiac malfunction. Hence the name of the establishment. Why then the surprise, or indeed a news report, when one actually keels over. They probably have a caption on the menu such as: "your meal is FREE! is you suffer from a cadiac arrest"

Customer Survey: Did you enjoy your meal? Y/N?
Was the service good/ok, I suppose/Fabulous? Y/N?
Did you suffer from Heart Failure? Y/N?
Will you re-visit our restaurants again or recommend us to your friends? Y/N?

Thank you for taking part in this survey - we hope you have a nice stay in hospital.

Have A Great Day!

Saw This and Became Angry

Just had a strange behaviour problem in IE8 64 bit Win7 a minute ago when persuing a JB thread link below

Woman collapses at Heart Attack Grill while eating Double Bypass burger - Yahoo! Lifestyle UK

Everything is fine until I hit the back button while in that link. Then the IE8 reloads at about 5 pages per second and by the time you get to the task manager hundreds of IE8 operations are recorded.

My only hope was to do a hard shutdown and reboot.

I repeated the same moves and still get the same result with that link

IE 8?

There IS a reason why it's also known as Internet Exploder.

Thanks for the video, Lon - makes extra sense (especially after reading the smokers-thread).
And when I saw the news this morning, I thought it can't be real (= a place called like that and operating like that). But listening to the owner - probably he's right. It works better than telling people not to eat junk food.

The now demised 'Smokers' thread, probes, may it rest in peace. Amen.

Amen it be, but I think you see the point anyway.

Good ! I've sometimes wondered how one eats the extra big ones. (and yes, I've had a cheeseburger occasionally, but that's about as big (thick? fat?) as I can bite?).
