if you ever venture to new york...the most famous hot dog joint, Gray's Papaya....will serve up their Recession Special - 2 grilled dogs on toasted buns and a fruit drink for about 3 bucks...one of the best dogs in the City...especially at 3am after you're broke and drunk from partying all night.

Speaking of hot dogs, ever see that PBS program, A Hot Dog Show?"

If that show doesn't make you hungry for a hot dog, you're probably dead.

Did you also know that Kidney stones range in colour?
