Earlier this week in Web Watch, we mentioned how 15,000 Google searches used the same amount of energy as it took to create a single cheeseburger. (And this even ties in with yesterday’s Best Fast-Food Burger post – welcome to Burger Week on Web Watch!)
Some people asked Web Watch where we got that burger energy information from, so we thought we’d look into it. CAN CREATING A CHEESEBURGER REALLY USE UP THAT MUCH ENERGY? Yes, it can.

ZAGAT surveyed 6,100 hungry fast-food and full-service restaurant patrons about their favorite places to eat, and has finally compiled and released the results for 2009.
The best fast-food hamburger, which should come as no surprise to anyone who has eaten there, is from IN-N-OUT BURGER. Best burger from a full-service restaurant came from RED ROBIN.
The other fast-food winners included:

Google, being a company based on computers and data centers and other electronic stuff, is often asked about how energy-efficient they are.
After all, Google’s mantra is “Don’t Be Evil”.
So Google engineers did some number crunching and DETERMINED HOW MUCH ENERGY A GOOGLE SEARCH TAKES as related to the amount of CO2 that is generated.

Eating at a fast food restaurant is not the most exhilirating experience.
Plastic forks and spoons (unless you’re lucky enough to get a spork), paper-lined plastic trays that have just barely been cleaned – if you count being wiped down by the dirty soap rag that also wipes down the fry machine as being cleaned, and harsh flourescent lighting that makes the drippy pasteurized processed cheese spread substitute look so appealing.

Winter is trying to VISIT EVERY STARBUCKS IN THE WORLD.
His most recent journey started at the end of May 2009, and he hopes to add to his total of over 9,000 visited Starbucks stores (out of a possible 16,000+) by the end of his eight-month trip.
The biggest obstacle at hand? Starbucks’ recent announcement to close 200 more stores that included some locations that Winter hadn’t visited yet.

Rated PG-13 for a couple of swear words, some action movie violence, some adult-oriented innuendo, and some naked Pakunis.
Rating: C
The good thing about this LAND OF THE LOST film is that it really does a great job of filling in the blanks that the classic Sid & Marty Krofft television show left out in their original plot. Some liberties had to be taken, of course, to explain why Marshall, Will, and Holly were on a routine expedition (and how the three got together, considering they don’t start out as taking a family vacation in the movie like they did in the TV show).
Rated R for adult situations, sex, booze, drugs, profanity, boobs, weiners, and too many shots of ugly dude butts.
Rating: B
THE HANGOVER is the latest comedy from Todd Phillips, the director of Old School.
