CNN sent me this little gem today -- The new restaurant fat traps. Warning, this article is mostly about driving chefs insane with your latest diet. But this paragraph just made me crack up.

"Jackie Newgent, author of the book "1,000 Low-Calorie Recipes," had been served something in a Mason jar enough times that she finally took a measuring cup to one. Turns out, it holds about two cups -- at least twice as much as a standard serving."

A pint jar holds two cups!? The hell you say! :roll:

JB,

Hey, it's CNN. They've also been recently startled to discover that water is wet, meteors go fast, political speeches are boring, and convicted rapists do time. Who'da thunk?
