iPod shuffle: There’s already a shortage
Damn, guess what’s already sold out on Apple’s website? Yeah, you know it, it’s the iPod shuffle. The shortage isn’t quite as bad as last year, when there was a six week waiting list for the iPod mini, but if you’re fixing to order an iPod shuffle you’re going to have to sit tight for between two to four weeks. If you can’t wait that long there’s always eBay, where the 512MB and 1GB versions of the player are “only” selling for about $25 or $30 above list price, or you could try and satisfy yourself with one of the dozens and dozens of other perfectly fine flash-based
MP3 players out there…oh screw it.

Harvard Pres Says Females Naturally Bad at Math
Man_Holmes writes “Harvard president says that women lack natural ability in math and science and this explains why fewer women succeed in math and science. Lawrence H. Summers later said that he was discussing hypotheses based on scholarly work and that it did not necessarily represent his private views.”

Amazing Feats Of Eating
Few have even attempted the challenge…
CLEARFIELD, Pa. (AP) – Kate Stelnick may weigh only 100 pounds, but her appetite is remarkable. The college student from Princeton, N.J., is the first to meet a restaurant’s challenge by downing its six-pound hamburger – and five pounds of fixins’ – within three hours.
Stelnick didn’t eat for two days to prepare for the challenge. “I felt very full, but I was too excited that I actually ate it to notice,” Stelnick said.
Stelnick, 19, made the five-hour drive to Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub with two friends from The College of New Jersey on Wednesday, after they saw pictures of the monster burger, dubbed the Ye Old 96er.
Denny Leigey Jr., the owner of the bar 35 miles northwest of State College, had offered a two-pound burger for years and conceived of the six-pounder after his daughter went to college and phoned him about a bar that sold a four-pounder.
But nobody had finished the big burger in the three-hour time limit since it was introduced on Super Bowl Sunday 1998. In addition to the meat, contestants much eat one large onion, two whole tomatoes, one half head of lettuce, 1 1/4 pounds of cheese, two buns, and a cup each of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, banana peppers and some pickles.
Stelnick did it all in two hours, 54 minutes.
Mmmmm hamburger!!!
All Done!
