Presumably few of the restaurant’s patrons would line up for a Pressed McTripe. According to the Consumer’s Dictionary of Food Additives, one gram of TBHQ can cause “nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, delirium, a sense of suffocation, and collapse.” Oh, but it gets worse: roducts are bound and preserved by a petrochemical preservative called tertiary butylhydroquinone, or TBHQ. I think I saw TBHQ open for New Riders of the Purple Sage in 1977. Given the amount of delirium not directly tied to McRib consumption, I think you're probably safe. Next thing they’ll tell you: the Shamrock Shake actually contains trace elements of leprechaun tissue. VIDEO Oh hey great this guy’s slowing down to give me a ride. INFOGRAPHIC DU JOUR Amazed no one thought of this before: the pie chart of pies, from Modern Farmer. If you’re in the mood for another pie chart that sums up something perfect, head to the Oatmeal for a look at what really makes people want to watch a movie. PETITE Just because something was in black and white on the TV doesn’t mean it wasn’t in color. “The Addams Family,” for example, was perfect for black and white, but it’s not like they used black and white materials to built the set. SCIENCE! Scientists have discovered something interesting about 2002 UX25, a 400-mile-wide rock in the Kuiper belt. That's the most useless thing you’ll learn all day. Its not like dogs ever say “purple planets are the ones most likely to have life? Cool.” But a day without a new piece of information that has no relation to anything in your life is one of those things that makes us human. Off to the Mall of America for Give to the Max day. I don’t know who this Max is, but he’s going to be well-off at the end of the day.The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is a paean to one of cinema’s most misunderstood stars. (Yes, that added “K” is how the character is credited in the movie.) It’s a veritable love letter to Nicolas Cage starring Nicolas Cage as Nick Cage. Is it a bit weird to have Cage playing a (fictionalized) version of himself? Maybe a little. The movie borders on hagiography, even if the script bakes in material about his poor life and career choices. And if anything it holds back on some of the weirder aspects of his real life. For instance, I never quite got the impression that this Nick Cage would spend nearly $300,000 on a dinosaur skull that he would later have to give back to the Mongolian government after learning it was stolen.
