I’m Eatin’ Too Much Of It of the Day: 17-year-old Stacey Irvine of Castle Vale, Birmingham, has admitted to eating practically nothing besides chicken nuggets since she was two.
Irvine was recently rushed to the hospital after collapsing at work. Doctors there told her she had anemia and made it clear that she was going to die if she didn’t immediately add fruits and vegetables to her diet. “I am starting to realise this is really bad for me,” Irvine acknowledged.
Still, she says she can’t stop eating nuggets on a daily basis. “McDonald’s chicken nuggets are my favourite. I share 20 with my boyfriend with chips,” she is quoted as saying. “But I also like KFC and supermarket brands. My main meal is always chicken nuggets every day.”
According to Irvine, her mother Evonne, who introduced her to McNuggets when she was two, has long since given up trying to get her to eat anything else. “I’m at my wit’s end,” says Evonne, a 39-year-old beauty therapist. “I’m praying she can be helped before it’s too late.”

Facebook Status Update of the Day: Revenge is a dish best served where everyone can see the bastard eat it.

“ Vonnegut wasn’t destined to last very long at the new magazine. His demise came when he was assigned to write a caption for a picture in The Wonderful World of Sports about a horse that had veered off a track, jumped the infield fence at Aqueduct, and trotted across the infield.
‘I was working on this goddamn story with nothing else to do,’ he remembered, ‘working eight-hour days and sitting around. And it ceased to be amusing to me that this horse just took a shortcut across the infield. I was going to go out to Aqueduct to investigate, but they told me it wasn’t necessary. So I could only get so much amusement out of the story, and I figured I was in the wrong job. So I left that in my typewriter and departed.’
What Vonnegut left in his typewriter was a single sheet of paper, with a one-line caption: ‘The horse jumped over the fucking fence.’

DOCUMERICA: Images of America in Crisis in the 1970s

As the 1960s came to an end, the rapid development of the American postwar decades had begun to take a noticeable toll on the environment, and the public began calling for action. In November 1971, the newly created Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a massive photo documentary project, called DOCUMERICA, to record these changes. More than 100 photographers were hired not only to document specific environmental issues, but to capture images of everyday life, showing how we interacted with the environment and capturing the way parts of America looked at that moment in history. By 1974, more than 80,000 photographs had been produced. The National Archives has made 15,000 of these images available, and I’ve spent much of the past week combing through those to bring you these 46 glimpses of America in the early 1970s, with an eye toward our then-ailing environment.

First World Problem of the Day: Just when you thought things couldn’t possibly get worse for the Motor City, it was confirmed today that Nickelback will indeed perform during halftime at the Lions-Green Bay game on Thanksgiving Day.

This, despite a petition with over 50,000 signatories asking the halftime show’s producers to reconsider for the sake of Detroit’s national image. “Does anyone even like Nickelback?,” asks the petiton’s author, Dennis Guttman. ”Is this some sort of ploy to get people to leave their seats during halftime to spend money on alcoholic beverages and concessions?”

The band’s frontman Chad Kroeger, who has likely spent a lifetime letting such comments roll off his luxurious golden locks, said they were looking forward to the performance and “always love playing in Detroit.”
