Bear Cub Loves Domino's Pizza
Stephen Colbert, host of Comedy Central's "Colbert Report," HATES bears. Until recently, it was a quirk Slice never quite understood. But witness: FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. -- A frequent diner at a Flagler County pizza place has worn out its welcome. The bear has made a habit of visiting the dumpster behind the Domino's Pizza on Highway 100 and I-95. Bears, Slice is giving you a tip of the hat for causing trouble at Domino's, but we're going to give you a wag of the finger for liking Domino's enough to visit repeatedly. You're on notice. Bear Cub Making Habit Of...Test Tube Toppings?
Brave new world, eh? Witness: Edible, lab-grown ground chuck that smells and tastes just like the real thing might take a place next to Quorn at supermarkets in just a few years, thanks to some determined meat researchers. Scientists routinely grow small quantities of muscle cells in petri dishes for experiments, but now for the first time a concentrated effort is under way to mass-produce meat in this manner. Henk Haagsman, a professor of meat sciences at Utrecht University, and his Dutch colleagues are working on growing artificial pork meat out of pig stem cells. They hope to grow a...Cheapskate Coworker
From Craigslist: At work we have this gentleman's agreement. If you show up late for work, you must buy lunch for the entire office. A guy in here showed up late yesterday(and he lives 4 blocks from the office!) and refused to buy lunch. Today, another co-worker showed up late, coming from Westchester, and bought about 12 pizza's. The scumbag who didn't pay yesterday had the f**king nerve to actually eat the pizza today. I hope he gets a stomach virus.

Candler resident Lori Hancock, 29, said she bought three pepperoni Hot-n-Ready pizzas at the restaurant Saturday afternoon for her son’s outdoor birthday party at a friend’s home. A few hours later, the homeowner noticed something unusual on the last pizza, Hancock said. “They looked like tiny bits of rice clumped together,” she said. Hancock took the remainder of the pizza to her home, where later that evening she saw what she said were live maggots underneath the cheese. You know, I watch a lot of CSI, and I think I heard it mentioned on there that maggots are primarily found...Fractal Pizza
The pizza is made from a base layer of crust covered in sauce, then topped with smaller english muffin pizzas that are topped with corn chip tortilla pizzas. [link]...Pizza Crust Made From Cheese
In a strange turn of events, a Des Moines, Iowa, radio personality reportedly has invented no-dough pizzas, an idea spawned from a lawn-mowing accident. The Des Moines Register said WHO's Van Harden came up with the idea of making his pizza crusts from a cheese base after losing his desire for bread. Mmm, cheese. You could conceivably make it a trifecta if you used a cheese-based sauce. Way to go, Van!

I kinda don't get it, but I kinda like it: 1. How can I order from you? Ye can't. Pirate Pizza doesn't make the pizza. We just deliver it. So there ain't nothin' te order from us. Ye just place an order from another pizza delivery place. Then Pirate Pizza's pirates intercept their car, keelhaul the delivery person, and finish the delivery. 2. How much does this cost me? How much ye got? What say we shows up, and we just takes what we want? Yer wife looks kinda pretty, for starters. 3. So how exactly do I know whether...Personality Revealed Through Pizza-Eating Style
How you eat your pizza says a lot about you, a study reveals. Among others, "The Crust Leaver who just eats the tasty centre was a rebellious child and is impulsive by nature," and, of particular interest to many New Yorkers, "the Folder who eats it like a sandwich is impatient, likely to be single and hates queues."
