Well, whatdaya know about that? The fifth Harry Potter book ain't only Amazon's #1 best selling title in history-- and that's just with preorders-- but it is now also the biggest distributation event in e-commerce history. Huge deals have been made with FedEx and UPS, in case you weren't aware, to get the books shipped to every single pre-orderer in the continental US on the day of release. I'm sure they'll be making deals with corperations in other areas also...

Y'know, the largest career launch was Weezer, the band. They had the video for Buddy Holly on the Windows 95 CD. Ah memories, no, NO!

Windows was the worst thing that happened to DOS.

Who wants cake? I've got a little slice of hell for everyone.

SARS was the worst thing to happen to Toronto
The Apple was the worst thing for Adam to pick...

McDonalds is in league with dark powers!

Or at least their food is crap.

I can happily say I've only been forced to eat there once in my life .

MaccyDees.. sigh. Isn't 99% of their burgers like sawdust or something (no really)? Read somewhere that to say "100% beef" a burger has to be at least 40% pure beef. Urm... ok... and we won't even go into "those" horror stories. When it comes to massively commercial fast food then Pizza Hut has got to be the best thing. If you forget about "the" story that went around email around 5 years ago (haven't had a side salad since, put it that way).

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

Funnily enough, the 3 local pizza places, none of them chains, all say they have 'real, natural food'... and on top of being average toppings on white bread with soda on the side (natural, hah!), it tastes worse than Dominos!

At least the Amy's brand is okay. And they only take 15 minutes to cook.
