So I wonder how much it weighs after its cooked?

I bet that McDonalds considers anything that comes from the cow to be "beef". I'll leave it at that.

That's it. Quarter of a pound BEFORE cooking. The more fat content, the less that burger's going to weigh when done cooking.

As Viking alluded to...
That ain't beef. Not all of it.

Well you know how McDonald's knows they've served billion and billions of hamburgers?


They just opened their 4th pound of ground beef!

Hope this hasn't been posted yet... Five year old girl was suspended from school and labelled a "terrorist threat" after talking to a friend about her pink bubble gun. Apparently the gun shoots bubbles and you could likely wipe out the entire south side of Chicago with it. This is beyond insanity here.

Winds, I'm guessing they're radioactive bubbles, very, very dangerous, especially in the hands of a 5 year old.

What if a bubble popped in a child's eye? Or his/her mouth? What if....? Who would be held accountable?
