Denmark has introduced what is believed to be the world’s first fat tax – a surcharge on foods that are high in saturated fat.
Butter, milk, cheese, pizza, meat, oil and processed food are now subject to the tax if they contain more than 2.3% saturated fat. Some consumers began hoarding to beat the price rise, while some producers call the tax a bureaucratic nightmare. Others suggest that many Danes will simply start shopping abroad.
During the Madrid Masters, Scottish golfer Elliot Saltman managed to get a hole-in-one on the third hole at the El Encin Golf Hotel. For his accomplishment, he recieved much praise and many golf claps. Also, his body weight in ham. Each hole had its own prize for a hole-in-one, some of which included a car or a watch. Saltman had the great (mis)fortune of landing it on the third and winning ham.
Saltman weighs in an at a respectable 235 pounds according to the European Tour media guide.
Oh, the horror. Just think of the possibilities of taking a date or your family to Farmville: The Movie. I guess you sit there and watch the crops grow in 3-D, or maybe they will add in Smell-A-Vision to give that true farm experience. It’s no joke. Zynga is in negotiations for the production of a movie based on the Farmville game. Heaven help us
What does a FarmVille movie look like anyway? No doubt it’ll be a computer-animated feature (in 3D, of course!) incorporating the graphics and themes of the Facebook game.
San Francisco’s metropolitan area contains an economy the size of Thailand. Chicago’s GDP rivals Switzerland. If the largest U.S. cities were countries, where would they rank?
It’s no secret that Johnny Depp loves the following: wearing silly, headgear-friendly costumes; portraying popular writers; and money. So nobody should be too alarmed to learn that the man’s preparing to not only produce but also star in a live-action feature film about the iconic Dr. Seuss, known among the generally discerning medical community as Theodor Geisel.
