Have A Good Weekend, Gents

Think about carbo-loading and then perhaps fasting for a couple of days...

John Duncan: More Crazy Math!

As you no doubt remember, John Duncan tried to dazzle us with statistics and and theoretical math way back when. Well, he's at it again!

According to present donation levels (see the lists in the right-hand column) and John's calculations, every nugget that gets consumed on Thursday currently has a monetary value of $1.62. That's right. Every nugget that goes into someone's mouth puts $1.62 into the worthy hands of the Ronald McDonald House.

To break it down further:

Nugget + Mouth = $1.62 + Hands

Wow! That's some delectable incentive!

Incredibly Deep Impact

Scientists have been working around the clock, postulating the possible effects of a meteor-sized nugget hurtling through space on a collision course with Earth.

Their theoretical conclusion? Totally delicious annihilation.
Whoa.

"Maybe Asteroids Would Work Better, George..."

Here's another implausible fact about Chicken McNuggets...

When George Lucas was conceiving the scene where the Millennium Falcon escapes through the asteroid field in The Empire Strikes Back, he wasn't thinking of asteroids at all! No, no. He was thinking of his favorite food, the wonderfully tasty Chicken McNugget.

This image was recently unearthed from the Lucasfilm archives. Many Bothans died to bring you this jpg...
No word on what the Titanic Space Slug was originally intended to be. We'll have to get more Bothans on the case.

"Would I Get Sick From Eating 100 Chicken McNuggets?"

Der! Like that's a question anyone needs to ask? You eat one hundred anything and you're going to feel overly full, at the very least.

Anyway, someone posed that question on Yahoo! Answers.
