Servings: 76 With BunI wonder what a 74 hotdog log looks like?
I remember an interview maybe a year ago, he said when he was flying home after a contest that his sweat smelled like hot dog

Remember he ate that in 10 MINUTES?? lol
74 HOT DOGS AND BUNS
(Plus a multiple big cups of water)
I would be struggling to eat 4 with buns.
NO NO SORRY! LOL i thought the nutritional values would of been way higher% wise.i mean ,75 hotdogs is alot.you would think the sodium alone could kill someone. by the way.did anyone see the blond chick?some how im not surprised shes good at sucking down wieners!im not sure i would let her suck my mine based on the chance she would count it!COME ON! i know you would think twice if she was gonna suck your dick!

Not So Truthful Ads From Yesteryear: A Review Of Merchandising Hype
ruth in advertising! What’s that? Something that apparently was disregarded in the not-too-distant past, which led gullible consumers to believe and to accept the hype about products which today are banned or no longer viewed in the same fashion as before.
Take particular notice of the advertisement directly below which bragged it was the smooth tasting cigarette expectant mothers craved. Holy smokes! Have things change. But we also can remember that Camel cigarettes were the ones most doctors preferred and smoked!
Radium Fertilizer!
What the heck was that all about?
“[E]xposure to higher levels of radium over a long period of time may result in harmful effects including anemia, cataracts, fractured teeth, cancer (especially bone cancer), and death. Some of these effects may take years to develop and are mostly due to gamma radiation.” (Source)

When It Comes to Dog vs Cat Brains, It Looks Like There's a Clear Winner
When It Comes to Dog vs Cat Brains, It Looks Like There's a Clear Winner
Ever since humanity split into dog and cat people, we've been arguing over which one of our beloved companions is a smarter species.
This latest study mightn't be the last word on the matter, but for those who think more neurons means more intelligence, it looks as if dogs stand out among carnivores for having a remarkably dense cerebral cortex.
An international team of researchers analysed the wrinkled outer layers of the brains of a variety of carnivorous animals - including dogs and cats - to determine whether the demands of hunting prey mean a higher count of cortical neurons, adding brain power where it counts.
On one hand, it would seem like a no-brainer – hunting prey requires special behaviours that you'd imagine would be neurologically taxing.
But those extra brain cells come at a cost, and not every hunt results in an energy-boosting kill.
To compare the brains of different animal species, it's not enough to just weigh their grey matter, because we have to take into account their relative body-and-brain sizes.
Even looking at brain size as a ratio – something called an encephalisation quotient – can fail to provide the big picture when it comes to the details of brain anatomy and intelligence.
Counting the cells, on the other hand, is thought to provide a better match for determining relative amounts of processing power.
"I believe the absolute number of neurons an animal has, especially in the cerebral cortex, determines the richness of their internal mental state and their ability to predict what is about to happen in their environment based on past experience," says neuroscientist Suzana Herculano-Houzel from Vanderbilt University in the US.
Past studies have compared the 'neural packing density' in the brains of our favourite carnivorous pets, estimating that cats have about 300 million neurons, roughly doubling the 160 million of dogs.
But it seems we might have been a little hasty handing the trophy to cats.
The team looked at eight different meat-eating animals, analysing one or two representative specimens of ferret, mongoose, raccoon, cat, dog, hyena, lion, and brown bear.
Based on their results, dogs have closer to 530 million neurons, compared to the 250 million of cats.
What's more, dogs had the most neurons of any carnivore, even though they didn't have the largest brains.
The researchers had hypothesised carnivore brains should have more neurons in their cerebral cortex than their prey. It turns out, there wasn't much of a difference at all.
The ratio of neurons to brain size in most carnivores was roughly equivalent to that of herbivores, suggesting the hunted needed about the same level of brain power to escape as the hunters needed to catch them.
If anything, the pattern reversed for larger carnivores – bigger meat eaters, such as brown bears, had comparatively fewer neurons for their size. In fact, while ten times larger than most cats, the two animals shared the same number of cortical neurons.
"Meat eating is largely considered a problem-solver in terms of energy, but, in retrospect, it is clear that carnivory must impose a delicate balance between how much brain and body a species can afford," says Herculano-Houzel.
Being bigger might help when it comes to catching food, but that doesn't translate into needing to be smarter. Thinking is hard work that doesn't always help pay for itself.
So is it time to give dogs their due?
"I'm 100 percent a dog person," Herculano-Houzel confesses, "but, with that disclaimer, our findings mean to me that dogs have the biological capability of doing much more complex and flexible things with their lives than cats can."
Capability might not necessarily be realised as intelligence, of course. Cats are notoriously harder to study - not because they're stupid, but because frankly they just don't care for our 'science'.
And if you're a dog person cracking out the champagne to celebrate anyway, here's one more fun fact.
The real oddball carnivore is the racoon - even though it's close to cats in terms of size, it actually has a similar number of neurons to dogs. Considering raccoons can smash intelligence tests, we're not surprised.

World's smallest living dog, 'Miracle Milly', cloned 49 times in South Korea Lab
World's smallest living dog, 'Miracle Milly', cloned 49 times in South Korea Lab
A controversial Korean laboratory has successfully cloned the world’s smallest living dog 49 times for a commercial breeder.
‘Miracle Milly,’ a six-year-old chihuahua who lives with her owner in Florida, weighed less than an ounce and could fit in a teaspoon when she was born.
The tiny pet, who entered the record books in 2013 and weighs just over a pound, is the smallest dog living in terms of height, standing at just 3.8in (9.65cm) tall.
She was cloned at the Sooam Biotech Research Foundation in Seoul, South Korea, in August last year.
The company, which reportedly charges $100,000 (£75,000) to bring a pet back to life, has cloned hundreds of pets.
Sooam claims it “heals the broken hearts” of grieving pet owners and tells customers it can “prolong the companionship with your dog by bringing back the memories that you have with your friend”.
Milly’s owner, Vanesa Semler, told Caters News Agency: “She was chosen for being the smallest dog in the world.
“The original idea was to make ten clones in total, nine for research and one for us, but they decided to clone her more times.
“They want to find out why she was so small and then study her genes to find out what makes her so tiny.
“It's amazing to be around all of her clones, they are so smart, very playful like Milly and have really similar personalities.”
The 38-year-old currently lives with 12 of the clones - Molly, Mally, Melly, Molly, Mumu, Mila, Mary, Mimi, Moni, Mini, Mela and Mulan - at her home.
David Kim, a researcher at the Sooam laboratory, said: “We will be working together with the director as well as four specialists from the world renowned Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI) as well as other collaborating scientists to characterise the genetic and epi-genetic factors of the cloned Milly and the original Milly.
“The research data will be analysed to prepare to publish a scientific article.”
The research facility has also cloned sniffer dogs used by Russia’s security services and has ambitious plans to also try to recreate the woolly mammoth in the future.
The commercial cloning of animals remains a controversial topic due to animal welfare concerns and ethical issues.

Alaskan husky helps rescue injured hiker near Anchorage
Alaskan husky helps rescue injured hiker near Anchorage
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A 7-year-old Alaskan husky is credited with helping rescue an injured woman hiking a trail east of Anchorage, Alaska.
The dog named Nanook helped pull Amelia Milling to shore after she fell while crossing the Eagle River last month, the Alaska Star reported .
Milling, a 21-year-old college student from Tennessee, was hiking the Crow Pass Trail and was injured early in the planned three-day hike. The white dog found her after she tumbled down a snowy slope and hit a rock that launched her into the air, she said.
"My first response was, where's the owner?" Milling said. "Then I saw the collar and it said (the dog) was a Crow Pass guide, and I realized that he was there to help me."
Nanook guided her back to the trail and camped with her overnight. The next day Nanook stayed with Milling as she attempted to ford the river.
The spot was too deep, and Milling fell into the water. As she scrambled to the shore, Nanook helped her out of the freezing glacial water.
"She slipped and fell, and the dog was able to save her and get her back to shore," Lt. Eric Olsen said with the Alaska State Troopers.
Milling later activated an emergency locator and was rescued by a trooper helicopter. Milling and Nanook were airlifted to Anchorage. Milling was treated for minor injuries and released.
"I believe the dog is a guardian angel," Milling said.
Troopers at first thought the dog was Milling's, but later saw Nanook's tags, Olsen said. Nanook belongs to Scott Swift who lives near the south end of the 24-mile (39-kilometer) trail.
"He's Alaska's version of Lassie," Olsen said.
Nanook regularly takes trips by himself into Chugach State Park and accompanies hikers he meets on the trails to the Eagle River Nature Center, Swift said.
"He's been doing it for years now," Swift said.
Swift adopted Nanook about six years ago. The dog does not have rescue training.
"He just does it on his own," Swift said.
While on one of his mountain adventures a few years ago, Nanook helped a young girl out of the river.
"This is the second time I've heard of he has saved someone from drowning in that river," Swift said.
