Speaking of Quarter Pounders, do you guys in other countries have a Double Quarter Pounder?
(Yeah, we have one here)

I think not in my country..
and i don't think i have it in my mind either, so you are wrong there

We do. I believe at one point they were for a limited time only/regional but they appear to be a standard option on the menu now.

I don't get it on why they would come up with such a thing.

"Hey, let's give them a heart attack!"

Considering how unhealthy a Quarter Pounder meal is to begin with, the extra patty and cheese probably doesn't register. That picture of the pizza topped with burgers, now there's a clear heart attack on a plate.

But I think that pizza-burger and others similar to it are more like marketing gimmicks. Like if you're interested, buy it, your funeral.


They're marketing that double quarter pounder (at least in the posters I see) like it's a good buy appetite-wise (more meat!) and budget-wise (two meats that is a bit cheaper than just one!). Mickey D's really bent on killing the consumer by offering it.

They market the "healthy choice" options too though, at least over here they do. I suppose you've just got to cater to people's democratic right to be unhealthy slobs.

From Cracked: The 6 Most Badass Stunts Ever Pulled in the Name of Science

In 1929, Werner Forssmann was a surgical trainee who wanted to learn about the heart. Unlike other wimpy doctors at the time, instead of learning about it from books or dead animals, he went for the more classic investigatory approach of "poke it with something."

Without any supervision, advice, or regard for that concept you call "survival," he cut a hole in his arm and pushed a catheter all the way up the limb and jammed it into his still-living heart.

When another doctor desperately tried to pull the catheter out of him (perhaps shouting "Dammit, it's too dangerous!"), Werner had to kick him away because his hands were full with the cable running into his own heart. At this point it's clear that if a 10-man SWAT team composed entirely of Arnold Schwarzeneggers had attacked Forssman, he'd have beaten the life out of every single one, then performed lifesaving research on the corpses.

He was fired, probably for being tougher than everyone and everything else in the building (including the concrete foundations)--27 years later they gave him a Nobel Prize.

While other so-called heroes run around saving useless things like kittens and "civilians," John Paul Stapp looked at jet fighter pilots and thought, "Those poor guys need my help." Yes, the manliest profession in the world since "Grizzly Bear Rodeo" was outlawed, and World War II veteran Dr. Stapp was the man who saved them.

He served as a flight surgeon in WWII, and after the war performed critical research on the effects of sudden deceleration on the human body. His human body. He used a rocket armed with four rocket engines and a total thrust of 6,000 pounds. The wider scientific community believed the human body could not survive more than 18 Gs of deceleration--Stapp hit 35. Because he goddamn could.

In 1954 he decelerated from 120 miles per hour to 0 in 1.4 seconds, and gained two huge black eyes from the force of his own slammed-forward eyeballs punching him on the inside of the face. The impact blinded him for two days, during which we must imagine his response was to walk around and simply dare the world to put things in his way. Oh, and he also broke his back, arm, wrist, lost six fillings and the icing on the cake? He got a hernia.

His response? He built a bigger rocket.

Yeah, you sit up straighter now when you're reading about a real man, you loser.

Pardon me, I can't stop laughing on this one:

Good one.

Most cruel. Worth it for the (no doubt intentionally) badly edited outro.

Same thing I was thinking when I was still watching the show, what the hell of a power is heart.

The pilot's up there on YouTube as well, I was watching it for old time's sake. Mai-Ti is even told that he has the most powerful ring of all, a blatant lie.

I see your Cauck and raise you...

If person A says "rofl" and person B says "lmao", which one is laughing more?

Pardon me, I can't stop laughing on this one:

Rofl at this.

Trick question, we all know the person a) never rolls on the floor from laughter and b) can not physically laugh their ass off as it would expose muscle tissue, bone and would be hell for the pooper.

I actually rofl'd when I first watched Robin Williams Live on Broadway

I laughed so hard I had to lay down but we didn't pause it so I rolled a bit.

True story, I got witnesses.

I didn't know Andrew had a wife.

She doesn't sound too bright either...

I wasn't aware I had a wife either. Last time I mix orange juice, lighter fluid and furniture polish. What a week.

That was strange. Based on Jae's IP trace and knowing the same user, he managed to have 294 posts before snapping into retardation again and wants to show his presence. He has a Philippine flag in his avatar, crap.

If person A says "rofl" and person B says "lmao", which one is laughing more?

Theoretically, LMAO is more, because person is basically shitting with laughter.

I would guess this would be even worse, just found it on another site

That's one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen. And believe you & I, I've seen disgusting things.

I wouldn't eat that thing with my grandmoms dentures.
