Big Mac Zombie

FOND DU LAC, Wisconsin - Don Gorske says he has eaten 23,000 of McDonald's Big Mac burgers in 36 years. The Wisconsin man said he hit the 23,000 milestone last month, continuing a culinary obsession that began May 17, 1972, and is fed by his obsessive-compulsive disorder. "I enjoy them every day," said Gorske, 54. "I need two to fill me up." Gorske has kept every burger receipt in a box. He says he was always fascinated with numbers, and watching McDonald's track its number of customers motivated him to track his own consumption. Despite a diet some would call unhealthy, Gorske says he keeps himself in good shape. He says he's 6-foot-2 (1.89 meters) and weighs 185 pounds (84 kilograms), and walks as many as 16 kilometers a day. He used to order fries every day in the 1980s but began to cut back in the '90s, now eating them about once a month. He eats two Big Macs, which each have two beef patties, cheese and a special Mac sauce, along with two parfaits a day. Gorske has written a book about his experience. "Sometimes people call me a freak but it doesn't bother me. I just say respect people as they are," he told The Associated Press. "I just want to make sure people understand I'm not going to change." He can instantly recall the eight days in which he failed to satisfy his craving. One was in 1988, the day his mother died, to respect a request she made. "I made a promise to her and I always keep my promises," he said. "I also promised her I wouldn't cut my hair and in 20 years I haven't." He twice failed to grab a Big Mac because of his job. A prison worker, he said a number of work emergencies kept him on the clock past midnight so he recorded those days as missed days. Three other times he was traveling and couldn't find a McDonald's. He also went Big Mac-less on the U.S. holiday of Thanksgiving in 2000, and during a 1982 snowstorm that prevented a local McDonald's franchise from opening. "That's when I started a habit where I kept them in the freezer," he said. He keeps one or two burgers on hand but increases his inventory to four to five during the winter.

Don't Drink and Run

 A 21-year-old man was accused of
driving drunk and leading police on a chase that finally ended with him
running over himself. The man was treated for minor injuries at a Santa
Fe hospital and booked in to the Sandoval County detention center on
charges of aggravated driving while intoxicated, fleeing a police
officer, careless driving and two other outstanding traffic warrants.

A tip to the state's DrunkBuster hot line Sunday afternoon alerted authorities to a possibly drunken driver.

State
Police Officer Grace Romero spotted the man's pickup truck swerving
across both lanes of a highway, driving slowly and then fast. He
refused to stop.

After narrowly missing other vehicles, police
said the suspect drove through a ditch and a barbed-wire fence before
stopping. He tried to put the truck into park, but it ended up in
reverse.

Police said the man fell from his open door and both of his legs were run over by the front driver's side tire.

Zombie's should never Drink!

Don't eat and drive

- Drivers have heard it's dangerous to drive while using a cellphone.

But now police are warning about the hazards of grabbing breakfast behind the wheel.

Ontario Provincial Police responded Friday to a single-vehicle crash and found a young woman covered in milk and cereal.

Police say the 21-year-old woman was trying to eat cereal with a bowl
and spoon while driving in icy conditions on Highway 7 in Wellington
County when she lost control and crashed into guide posts.

Louise Light is charged with careless driving.

Police say the woman was not hurt, but she was embarrassed.

Another Zombie heard from

Jumping the Colorado Gorge

ENVER - A daredevil hopes to propel himself across a southern Colorado canyon using a jet pack powered by hydrogen peroxide.

Eric Scott tells the Rocky Mountain News he's never travelled as far as he wants to Monday - 457 metres.

The Royal Gorge is more than 335 metres deep.

A bridge spanning it was the site of a deadly stunt in 2003 when a parachute jumper miscalculated and fell.

Scott works for Denver-based Jet P.I. The company developed a jet
pack for stunts and promotions that is based on one developed in the
1960s for the military.

The original one could fly for only about 20 seconds.

The new one can go for more than 30 seconds at faster than 113 kilometres an hour.

If this guy ain't a zombie now, he soon will be.
