It’s Going Global!

   Hasbro, the company who makes Monopoly, will produce a global version of the game. The game will feature 20 cities from around the world. I wonder if it will just as fun as the ‘Star Wars’ version?

 Feng Shui?

   McDonald's proposes to boost sales by redesigning its restaurant using the fine art of Feng Shui. The company will change the usual red-and-yellow palette to earth tones to create a relaxing, soothing atmosphere. I wonder if it will help?

 Lucky!

   A Georgia couple celebrated when they found out they won $270 million with a $275 Mega Million jackpot. Robert Harris picked the winning numbers from their grandchildrens' birthdays. They decided to use the “windfall” from the winnings to buy themselves a house and then a truck.

 How Big?

   A Detroit, Mich., restaurant owner thinks he broke the record for the biggest burger. He created a 134-pound burger that requires patrons to order 24 hours in advance for it to be made. The “Absolutely Ridiculous Burger,” made with bacon, beef and cheese, rests on a 50-pound bun and cost $350. I wonder, how many calories does it have?

An Unusual Clue

   A man robbed a convenience store and stole $115. The police discovered a coat and hat at the scene of the crime. In coat, the police found a W-2 form and a record to go along with the name. The Associated Press does not report at this time what happened in this case, but time will tell.
