Google Maps is an internet staple. It holds together the very fabric papers of the Internet. We all use it. Well, I do anyway. And, I’ll use it more now that it has what Google is calling, “terrain view”. Just visit google.com/maps and click the “terrain” button at the top right of the map. You’ll be treated to a visual delight. The colors are magnificent, the speed is unbelievable, and it even visually feels like paper. Well done, Google! Take a gander:

Christina and I stopped by Burger King lately (shh.. she’d probably not want you to know). I love me some Whopper, and don’t let her fool you, she’s all about the Whopper Junior. But, after our latest visit to the BK I’ve got some beef to share.

We walked in, stood in line, and took a look at the value meals. I took one glance up at the meals and corresponding numbers, and realized they’d number fucked screwed upset me. They threw a curve ball, a dagger, they’d stabbed be in my proverbial left-to-right, sequential number-reading ass back! Take a look at BK’s incredibly useful Value Meal Menu:
