Spades and shovels aside, garden specialist Grant Pershing may be the most valuable tool in this garden.

Accepting this award on behalf of the country is Burger King's "Enormous Omelet Sandwich," a frightfully disgusting pile of eggs, meat, cheese and salt that weighs in at a mighty 730 calories and 47 grams of fat. Because there's no better way to start your day than with coronary failure.

These few weeks hold a very new experience for my generation -- it is the first time we get to witness the death of a pope and the election of a new one. The magnificent funeral rituals seen on TV are quite an impressive experience for anyone who hasn't seen them.

'Time' for smarts

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, April 8,2005 12:22 a.m.

For at least a year, we've heard from Gov. Mitch Daniels about the economic importance of switching to daylight-saving time. It makes sense that confusion about the time doesn't help anyone operate their business more efficiently.
