  2. 10 things you might not know about hamburgers

    May is National Hamburger Month, and the industry hopes you'll forget all about last month, when a Utah man attracted publicity by claiming he had a 14-year-old McDonald's hamburger that has never been refrigerated yet looks like new — no mold, no decomposition. He said he had the July 7, 1999, receipt and that the burger spent its first few years forgotten in a pocket. McDonald's officials saw no cause for concern, theorizing that the burger looked like new because it was dehydrated, not embalmed in scary preservatives. Here are 10 juicy facts about hamburgers.

  6. 'Sweeney' staggers in amid a hail of bullets and Cockney slang ★★★
