Finger food

There just isn’t enough Horsey Sauce to mask that: A Michigan teenager was alarmed to find the fleshy tip of a finger in his Arby’s roast beef sandwich. An employee apparently cut her finger on a meat slicer and left without reporting the accident, leaving co-workers to continue making sandwiches.

Arby’s later announced that it was in talks with Kentucky Fried Chicken to license use of its “finger-lickin’ good” motto for its sandwiches.

How about Ebey’s Gulf? Iran says it intends to sue Google because the search engine company has dropped the name “Persian Gulf” from its maps of that body of water. Google is avoiding a conflict between Iran and Arab states who prefer that it be called the “Arabian Gulf.”

This isn’t the first time Google has left something unlabeled on its maps. Out of concerns for public decency, Google still refuses to identify Humptulips, Wash.

A big silly grin on his Facebook: When Facebook makes its initial public offering of stock this morning it’s expected that the company will be worth $104 billion and that creator and CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s stake will be worth $19.1 billion. An early investor who fronted Zuckerberg $500,000, will reap a $640 million windfall.

Just something to think about as you’re “watering” your friend’s crops in FarmVille and posting an Instagram photo of your morning coffee.
