KFC is testing a new sandwich in select American test markets called the Double Down. The sandwich "features a dollop of the Colonel's secret sauce wrapped in a slice of both Pepperjack Cheese and Swiss Cheese, between two slices of bacon and two filets of KFC original recipe chicken that serve as the 'bread' of the burger." Yep -- no actual bread. Two deep fried chicken patties with bacon, cheese, and mayonnaise secret sauce in between.

I can feel major arteries slamming shut just from looking at it.



Mmm... delicious, delicious coronary

So Keanu Reeves has agreed to give a DNA sample for a paternity test. Karen Sala, from Barrie, has been claiming that Reeves is the father of one of her four children, Ryan, who is now 21.

"This is not about revenge or an attack on his good character — it's about closure and getting some peace," says Sala. "This is a personal journey."

Oh, and her Personal Journey also involves demanding $150,000 per month in child support, retroactive from June 1988 (because when you have a small child, and I'm sure many of you parents can back me up on this, every two or three months you need a new house. And also, you generally don't need that support while the child is growing up, but rather all in one lump sum after he's turned 21 and moved out). She's also seeking $3 million per month in spousal support, retroactive from November 2006 (because if you've had sex with Keanu Reeves, that's the same as being his spouse, and once you've had sex with Keanu Reeves, every two or three months you need a new jet).

I can't imagine why Keanu Reeves' lawyers make that choking sound every time they speak about this to the press.

This must be the single most tiring aspect of being a celebrity — the bazillion or so people who view you as a get-rich-quick springboard. Somebody gets into a fender-bender with you, you exchange insurance information and off you go. The other driver was Britney Spears? Sue for whiplash, baby! You deserve at lest three million dollars for what that celebrity did to you! You had sex with a guy and got pregnant 21 years ago and now he's famous? Why, he should give you millions of dollars (not your kid, mind you — you).

I have my own Personal Journey. It involves buying a Super 7 ticket this weekend and hoping for the best.

While I was finding a link for the Keanu Reeves story above, Internet Explorer froze, then crashed. I clicked on the "Send Report to Microsoft" post-crash button, and got a referral link to a page of information about why Internet Explorer crashed and what I can do about it in the future.

Problem caused by Microsoft Internet Explorer
This problem occurred because Microsoft Internet Explorer, which was created by Microsoft Corporation, was slow or unresponsive.

This type of problem occurs when a program is slow or has stopped responding and you choose to shut it down. This is also referred to as an application hang. Most of the time, there's nothing you could have done to prevent this type of error.

Well. Thanks for clearing that up.
