Pizza Hut’s menu often changes, adding products, but this one’s a little bit different. Pizza Hut is now selling weddings for $10,010 plus tax. Included is:

• Limo service
• a ruby engagement ring
• a bouquet of flowers
• a personal fireworks display
• a professional photographer
• a professional videographer
• a $10 Dinner Box, which includes a medium one-topping rectangular pan pizza, five breadsticks with marinara sauce and 10 cinnamon sticks with icing.
• they also claim that a Pizza Hut themed wedding at Pizza Hut headquarters “could be in order” “if she says yes.”

I’m not sure about in restaurant, but you can order it online at PizzaHut.com.

According to a recent survey American workers spend more than $20 a week on coffee ($5 a day). That adds up to $1,092 a year! In comparison, commuting costs for the average worker come out to around $1,476 a year. Consumerist.com, who shared the information, puts it this way: “when you consider the volume of your typical coffee  drink versus a gallon of gasoline, it looks like we place a higher value on our java jolt than we do on the 87 octane in our gas tanks.”

Another huge expense we typically choose to ignore is lunch. 66 percent of the American workforce buys their lunch rather than pack one, costing around $37 a week. The daily mid-day meal is quite a bit more expensive than commuting or coffee.

Younger workers (aged 18-34) usually spend more money on coffee and lunch than their older counterparts. They spend $24.74 a week on coffee while older workers (45 and older), who are more likely to visit locally owned coffee shops rather than the major franchise Starbucks, spend $14.15 a week. For lunch, younger workers spend $44.78 a week, compared to $31.80 for older workers.

With gas prices so high, it’s surprising that American workers typically spend more on lunch than filling up their vehicle. In fact, Consumerist added: “Worth mentioning here is that, when asked what they thought their biggest work week expense was in the last year, 42% of respondents thought it would be commuting costs, and only 11% chose lunch expenses.”

The public relations department at Domino’s Pizza have confirmed that the corporation’s Japanese arm has proposed a plan to build a restaurant on the moon.

If it turns out to be anything more than a publicity stunt, the lunar restaurant would carry a large price tag. The Telegraph published a breakdown of the predicted costs, which turns out to be over $21 billion.

Building the restaurant seems to be a strick back at Pizza Hut, which became the first chain to deliver pizza to space, a decade ago (2001).

And in related news, Orbital Technologies has recently announced that they’re planning to send a space hotel into orbit 217 miles up. The hotel will fit 7 guests in four cabins and would have huge windows for a stunning view.

It’ll take two days to get there via a Soyuz rocket, and it won’t be ready until 2016. But chances are you’ll need at least that long to save up for the trip…actually you’ll probably need a lot longer than five years to come up with nearly $1 million per person.

A team of doctors said that hot dogs are as dangerous as cigarettes in terms of cancer risk. Of course, there are some differences. The big one: I don’t think I know anybody who indulges in 20+ hot dogs a day, though that would be a funny habit.

Although it is kinda funny, a bunch of groups are pulling the bullshit card on the claim made by Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a pro-vegan group of doctors. Figures. Since people aren’t shoveling down dozens of hot dogs a day, the occasional one won’t hurt. This is because hot dogs aren’t addictive. Studies have shown that eating a hot dog daily can increase the risk of colorectal cancer by 22%. But who does that?!

Even the American Cancer Society thinks they’re stupid. They even mocked them, saying that comparing these two things is like comparing apples to elephants. They say it is not necessary to reject all meats to live a healthy lifestyle. Sure, the message is pretty much common sense, but that’s kind of the point. In the end, I say fuck it. I’d rather die with a hot dog in my stomach than with tofu….grass, or whatever the fuck vegans eat.

Researchers have found that fatty foods may help reduce effects of sadness in healthy non-obese individuals.

The team of researchers led by Lukas Van Oudenhove at the University of Leuven, Belgium, imaged changes in the brain when healthy non-obese individuals experience sadness. They found that administration of a fat solution to the stomach reduced the behavioral and nerve cell responses to sad emotion.

The findings have clear implications for a wide range of disorders, including obesity, eating disorders, and depression.
