I did not know that the snake-eating-its-tail had a specific name. Well.

That one I knew. I am mediocre in metaphoric herpetology. As it says on my business cards.

Differences between the Canadian and American menus
The Canadian menu has some similarities to the current offerings of the American chain, but, owing to their independent management, also diverges in many respects. The only Burger Family product available by name in U.S. locations is the Papa Burger, although it differs significantly (adding lettuce, tomato, and cheese slices which are not included by default on the Canadian product). However, the American "Original Bacon Cheeseburger" appears to be almost exactly equivalent to the Teen Burger available in Canada. Notable products on the U.S. menu not available in Canada include deep-fried cheese curds, cheese fries, and soft serve-based products such as sundaes.

I remember a handwritten sign at a mall outlet A & W in Saskatoon promoting their new chicken nuggets: "Real beefy taste!" I've always wanted it to be minimum-wage slave sabotage, but it was probably minimum-wage slave illiteracy.

I am laughing so hard at this image.

I love the ouroboros Wiki entry. Really, really great concept too.

It seems like that word needs to be worked into the IMCT definition/self-conception.

If ever a concept were tailor-made for us, it is this one.

Man, it doesn't matter which religion, ecclesiastical politics are always fascinating.

One in three people have a third nipple? I am greatly discomforted by this.

Their definition of 'third nipple' may as well include "strangely red big toe."
