Rick Mabry and Paul Deiermann are mathematicians.
Rick and Paul also love pizza.
While this does not prove that all those who love pizza are mathematicians, it does prove that all mathematicians love pizza.
And why not? Pizza offers the ultimate eating question: HOW CAN YOU SLICE A PIZZA TO ENSURE THAT ALL PRESENT WILL RECEIVE THE EXACT SAME AMOUNT OF PIZZA?
This was the problem that Rick and Paul set out to find: to determine how to create a PERFECT SLICE OF PIZZA.

Web Watch has enjoyed watching Gordon Ramsay yell at both potential and actual restaurant employees for years on HELL’S KITCHEN and KITCHEN NIGHTMARES, respectively.
And in the end, we wholeheartedly agree with the yelling, as he is yelling for good reason the majority of the time. All Gordon wants is to bring out the best in people.
So while you may not agree with his methods, you can agree that when it comes to food he does know what he’s talking about.
Which is why FOX has decided to import yet another British series for Ramsay that shows a decidedly softer side of the typically angry chef in GORDON RAMSAY: COOKALONG LIVE, airing live on FOX on December 15th.

Everyone jokes about ubiquitious holiday food, from the green bean casserole to the fruitcake.
But no other holiday food has garnered as much interest as the TURDUCKEN, an epicurean concoction of a deboned chicken stuffed inside of a deboned duck, stuffed inside a turkey.
Now that Thanksgiving is over and the shopping has begun, it’s time for us to concentrate on that next favorite holiday tradition: the SECRET SANTA GIFT EXCHANGE.
And organizing it can always be such a hassle. You have to get everyone in a room together to draw names out of a hat, and in today’s workplace environment with people working from home or in satellite offices across the country, doing the Secret Santa selections this way is just old-fashioned.
If you are a family with kids and you’re on a budget, eating out can definitely be a problem. Kids just want to eat, and don’t necessarily have the concept down about eating within a budget. They just point at the macaroni-and-cheese, chicken fingers, fries (and other brown and tan foods without a vegetable in sight) and say “I want that!”
This is why the Disney Dining Plan that offers a “pay-one-price” for all members of your family is so popular. Families on those massively-planned-out Disney trips can go to any restaurant on property and tell the kids to “eat whatever you want”, because the meal has already been paid for.
And yes, those kids are in for a shock when they return to the real world and discover that they can’t just eat anything on the menu again. It’s just another way Disney makes a vacation seem more special.
So what can families do to continue that type of “eat anything you want” Disney magic when they’re dining out with the kids again once they’re back at home?

A few years ago, Web Watch posted a piece on using a MUSIC ROYALTY CALCULATOR TO DETERMINE ALBUM PROFITS, and we thought that it was a good time to revisit that topic.
Why?
Because many things have changed in the music industry since we we wrote that original piece. That music royalty calculator link is still valid, but we found another one that you might want to look at as well.

When was the last time you went on a job interview? Did you had some tough interview questions?
Web Watch is a fan of some of the infamous Microsoft interview questions, such as “how many payphones are there in Manhattan?” (answer then: assume 4 payphones per street corner, then calculate how many street corners there are in Manhattan. answer now: probably none)
Lewis Lin, an interview coach in Seattle, has compiled 140 GOOGLE JOB INTERVIEW QUESTIONS that have been asked over the years.
