“A Detroit-area restaurant has cooked up another giant burger. The Detroit News reports that Mallie’s Sports Grill & Bar in Southgate made a 338-pound Absolutely Ridiculous Burger. A crowd of people gathered to salivate over the unveiling of the massive $2,000 menu item. The 3ft-high sandwich packs 540,000 calories and takes 22 hours to cook. Manager Jason Jones says it comes with fries and a drink. Over the years, Mallie’s has drawn attention for cooking up monstrous burgers. In 2008, the restaurant produced a 134lb burger. Six months later it made one weighing 164lbs. In 2009, it built 186lbs burger and in January it created one that topped the scales at 319 lbs.” w/ photo + video

“A hawk with a nail in its head is alive and still flying free around a San Francisco park after being shot with a nail gun and foiling rescuers’ attempts to catch and help it. This week saw members of the WildRescue group fail in their third attempt to capture the red-tailed hawk after it was spotted in the city’s Golden Gate Park eating a gopher it appeared to have captured. The group were told about the injured bird on Sunday and set about using wire-mesh traps – rather than nets, in which the nail could get caught and further harm the hawk – to try to catch it. According to its rescuers, the bird is likely to have been born in the park to parents that live in the area. They believe it was intentionally targeted with the nail gun, prompting one donor to add to WildRescue’s existing reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the culprit.” w/ photo
