Global McDonalds Menu Part 1 (The Americas and Europe)

After researching for this list, I realized that there are way too many awesome McDonalds foods around the world to make into one list, so I'm splitting the world up.  I also realized that the United States has a very boring McDonalds menu.


Canada
    The McLobster
             The McLobster is kind of like the McRib
             in that they're both seasonal.  Picture from here.

4 Hilarious, Offensive, or Downright Disgusting PETA Projects

Anybody who knows me knows I hate PETA. I mean really hate PETA. As in , I don’t think I’ve ever hated anything more in my life. There’s a lot of reasons why; probably too many to list. Although if you read Ingrid Newkirk’s will on the PETA website, you’d know she’s a psycho, which is just one of the many things I hate about PETA.

Anywho, here are of PETA’s truly despicable shock value ads/demonstrations.

Seven Deadly (And Sometimes Helpful) Plants

So, I'm reading The Mental Floss History of the World, and I figure since this is a list blog, I'll do this as a countdown.  Everytime I read a chapter, I'll write down a couple of cool things I learned from it.


Here's Mental_Floss's website. It's kind of the inspiration for this blog.

10 of History's Worst Maritime Disasters

I don’t really like ships that much. I mean, I think they’re kinda cool, but ever since I saw Titanic, I don’t think I’ll be getting on anything bigger than a small boat anytime soon. Pretty much ever since ships have been around, they’ve been sinking. This is a list of the top ten deadliest shipwrecks (so far). Although, I guess that isn’t really true, because I only included disasters that happened during peacetime, otherwise the list would include the Spanish Armada and the Sultana.

8 Olympic Tragedies

Last week, the Vancouver Olympic Games started, but was immediately turned sad, when we all learned about the death of a Georgian luger just a few hours before the opening ceremony.  So far, only two deaths have occured during official competition (both during summer games), but there have been many tragedies at other times during the games.
