Foods That Could Have Only Come from 'Merica?
Taco Bell's Doritos Locos Taco
'Mericans love Doritos, and 'Mericans love Taco Bell. Now that the Doritos Locos Taco finally exists, do we really need anything else to eat? The powdery nacho cheese really does add to the flavor of this fast food favorite, but you'll hate yourself for eating it once it's all gone.
KFC's Double Down Sandwich
The Double Down sandwich from KFC is cheese, bacon, and sauce smashed between two fried chicken patties. You're already getting nearly double the fat and calories of a normal chicken sandwich, so we probably shouldn't mention that there's a secret "triple down" option. 'MERICA!
Deep Fried Bacon As if bacon isn't bad enough already, America will go ahead and deep fry it for you. This crispy treat is dangerously good, but it really should never be eaten by anyone.
McDonald's McGriddle McDonald's McGriddles are one of the worst things you can possibly eat. These unique breakfast sandwiches have maple-flavored pancakes for buns and pack more fat and sugar than almost anything on the menu. It's a shame that they're so delicious.
Turducken
Thanksgiving should probably be renamed "National Gluttony Day" since all we do is eat massive portions of food. Even a whole turkey wasn't good enough to satisfy our hunger, so now people are stuffing it full of a duck and a chicken! The resulting mess looks disgusting, but sadly tastes good.
Denny’s Fried Cheese Melt
Denny's knew that people love cheese, so they took two classic foods and put them together into one cheesy Franken-sandwich. The mozzarella sticks don't seem like they're really necessary, but wow -- this is one delicious grilled cheese.
Krispy Kreme Burger
Krispy Kreme is pretty much the epitome of all donuts, and potential heart attacks aside, it makes a really tasty replacement for the hamburger bun. The sweetness of the glazed donuts blends with the salty and savory flavor of the meat and cheese to form a surprisingly delicious combination. No wonder this fair food is becoming an American tradition!
Pizza on a Stick
It's sad, but people are way too excited for this food "invention." This is literally just a regular slide of pizza that was baked with a paint stirring stick in the crust. Only in America would people be too lazy to hold their food with two hands.
Chili Cheese Fries
As if french fries weren't unhealthy enough already, American restaurants decided to create chili cheese fries. This pile of fried potatoes, chili sauce, and cheese looks like a dog's dinner, but it tastes amazing.
Chocolate Covered Slim Jim
If you want to try this purely-American treat, then you'll have to make some yourself. Lucky for you, and unluckily for your waistline, chocolate-covered Slim Jims are fairly easy to make.
McDonald's McRib
Where else in the world could you serve up heavily processed meat scraps pressed into the vague shape of ribs and have people climbing over each other to get it? People go crazy for the McRib every time that McDonald's puts it back on the menu.
Domino's Bread Bowl Pasta
The idea of bread bowls to hold soups and pastas is completely ridiculous. Either you don't eat the bread and waste food, or you do eat it and consume way too many carbs. Domino's Bread Bowl Pasta is an even worse offender, because it uses pizza dough for the bread and loads up the middle with fatty and cheesy pasta.Monday, June 17, 2013

Government stimulus...
Government stimulus...
After filing their personal tax returns by April 30 th, many Canadians will again receive a tax refund.
This is indeed a very exciting program, and I'll explain it in a Q & A format:
Q. What is a tax refund payment?
A. It’s money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.
Q. Where will the government get this money?
A. From taxpayers.
Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
A. Only a smidgen of it.
Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
A. The plan is for you to use the money to purchase a high-definition
TV set, thus stimulating the economy.
Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China?
A. Shut up.
Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the Canadian economy by spending your tax refund wisely:
* If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China or Sri Lanka.
* If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to the Arabs.
* If you purchase a computer, it will go to India, Taiwan or China .
* If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico, Honduras and
Guatemala.
* If you buy an efficient car, it will go to Japan or Korea..
* If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan.
* If you pay your credit cards off, or buy stock, it will go to management
bonuses and they will hide it offshore.
Instead, keep the money in Canada by:
1) Spending it at yard sales, or
2) Going to hockey games, or
3) Spending it on prostitutes, or
4) Beer or
5) Tattoos
6) Marijuana
(These are the only “truly” Canadian businesses still operating)
Conclusion:
Go to a hockey game with a tattooed prostitute that you met at a yard sale and drink beer all day!
No need to thank me, I'm just glad to be of help.

Make a Difference in Your Neighborhood with This Urban DIY Glowing Bollard Crosswalk
Walking the streets at night can be uncomfortably dangerous. In 2010, there were 32,885 motor vehicle deaths in the United States. Of those, roughly 13%, or 4,280, were pedestrians. Two-thirds of those pedestrian deaths occurred at nighttime.
Along with darkness, drivers also have to deal with rain and other harsh weather conditions. Combined, all of these factors can be very dangerous for anyone taking a walk at night. As it happens, pedestrian deaths are on the rise since 2009.
The reason?
More Americans are walking. According to the Center for Disease Control, almost two-thirds of Americans are taking regular walks—delineated as at least one 10-minute walk per week. Whether it's to exercise, walk their dogs, or simply clear their minds, the fact remains that more people are now walking. And that's a very good thing.
But more walking also means more pedestrian deaths. So how can you make a difference in order to help this number to decline?
The Glowing Crosswalk...
Instructables user Thomas Deckert has designed an urban traffic cone prototype that provides an illuminated path across dark intersections, built to highly improve drivers' visibility of anyone walking across the street.
This prototype consists of four light poles, each placed in pairs, adjacent to each other. Each yellow light bollard contains three very high-powered LED lights and a button to activate these lights.
When the push-to-walk button is pressed on any of the four poles, all of the lights are activated concurrently. The Arduino-powered device then acts like an actual street light and cycles through phases of solid light (safe to walk) and flashing light (not safe to walk).
Bollard-based illumination systems have actually been researched before, and prototypes installed in New Jersey were shown to increase pedestrian safety.
If you're thinking about making your own prototype, you'll want to start saving now. The costs total about $1,000 and the project requires a multitude of tools and supplies. But overall, $1,000 is pretty cheap compared to $20,000 to $50,000 per location for in-pavement flashers.
If you want to try your hand at it, check out the full step-by-step guide.
While the benefits of this project are exponential, the lines become muddled when it comes to legality.
Since the installments are temporary, there is not much of a reason for trouble. If law officers see a problem with it, they'll (hopefully) kindly ask you to take it away, probably only because installments related to pedestrian safety will need to be implemented by the department of transportation.
If you're hoping to create a more permanent installment in a part of your city that has a high rate of pedestrian accidents, you will have to think about getting permits and legal approval from city hall and other officials.
Talk to your city council. Schedule meetings. Get a petition signed. It's worth all of the trouble in the world if you can save a few lives in your neighborhood.
INFOGRAPHIC: Where will Regina find $675 million?
Since plans for a new stadium for the Saskatchewan Roughriders were announced on Saturday, lots of numbers have been bandied about, including this one: $675 million.
That's the amount the city expects to spend on the $278-million stadium — building it, maintaining it and paying off loans — over the next 30 years.
So where will that money come from? According to a city administration report that goes to council on Monday, the cash will come from property taxes, a new per-ticket facility fee, a hotel tax, corporate naming rights and stadium rentals.
There will also be savings from not having to maintain century-old Mosaic Stadium, the city says.
Here a breakdown on where the city expects to find 30 years' worth of stadium cash:

#HowTo Turn a Cardboard Box into a Cheap DIY Smartphone Projector
Smartphones and tablets are great for watching movies and videos while you're out, but at home, the screen is just too tiny. There are quite a few projectors on the market that work with mobile devices, but they can get pricey.
The good news is that it's pretty simple to hack your own projector with items that you probably already have. This DIY projector made by the folks at Photojojo is made out of a cardboard shoebox, magnifying glass, a paperclip, and some electrical tape.
Start by tracing the outline of your magnifying glass onto one end of the box. Use an X-Acto knife to cut around the line, then cut a small hole in the other end for the power cord.
Next, use electrical tape to attach the magnifying glass to the box. Make sure you get it to fit tightly so that no light escapes.
Now, take your paperclip and bend it into a little stand for your phone.Here's the tutorial where they got the idea, for reference. You'll have to experiment a little to figure out the best placement for your stand (it will also depend on how high-powered your magnifying glass is).
Your projector is now finished. In order to see the picture correctly since it will appear upside down when it goes through the lens, you'll need to flip your screen.
On an iPhone, you can do this by going to Settings -> General ->Accessibility, then switch Assistive Touch to ON. Tap the little white circle to bring up the menu, then go to Device -> Rotate Screen.
For Android users, there isn't a way to force your screen to rotate without an app. Photojojo suggests using Ultimate Rotation Control, which is free to download from Google Play, but after a 7-day trial you'll have to pay to keep using it. I wasn't able to find any free alternatives, so if anyone knows of one be sure to let us know in the comments below.
For more details on building the projector and setting everything up, check out the full tutorial over on Photojojo. You can also try this other DIY projector created by one of our users here at WonderHowTo.
Need a screen? You can paint one on your wall for less than fifty bucks, or build a more professional-looking screen using a wooden frame and some spandex.
