Sturgeon’s Law

Ninety per­cent of every­thing is crap.


Derived from a quote by sci­ence fic­tion author Theodore Stur­geon, who once said, “Sure, 90% of sci­ence fic­tion is crud. That’s because 90% of every­thing is crud.” Oddly, when Sturgeon’s Law is cited, the final word is almost invari­ably changed to ‘crap’.

Top Down Day

Not to rub it in on those of you in the frozen north, but Donna and I went out to Burger King for lunch and rode with the top down. I don’t know what was bet­ter the nice open air drive or the Whop­per served hot and fresh for a change.

Go to the BK site linked above. Then select the Nutiri­tion tab. You can build your meal and see the totals. I had a Whop­per — no mayo, medium Sprite and we split a medium fries, so my totals were:
1050 calo­ries
300 calo­ries from fat
34 grams of fat
12.5 grams of sat­u­rated fat
3.25 grams of Trans fat
75 mg cho­les­terol
1280 mg sodium
130 grams total carbs
6 grams fiber
66 grams sug­ars
33 grams pro­tein

If I had a Dou­ble Whop­per with Cheese, a king size order of fries and a king size coke the totals would have been:
2100 calo­ries
900 calo­ries from fat
100 grams of fat
35 grams of sat­u­rated fat
10 grams of Trans fat
185 mg cho­les­terol
2570 mg sodium
237 grams total carbs
10 grams fiber
119 grams sug­ars
64 grams protein
