The Week That Was


A man in Las Vegas had a heart attack while eating a Triple Bypass Burger - including 1.5 pounds of beef and a dozen bacon slices - at a place called "The Heart Attack Grill." ~~To be fair, they did comp his meal!

Portland neurologist John A. Boothby has been placed on probation after the Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine heard that he was rude, condescending and threw a tissue box at an adolescent patient. ~~Even worse, on the patient's bill, there was a charge for "viewing bad behavior." http://goo.gl/n91sW

Police in Minnesota have arrested a man who allegedly stole up to $25,000 in Tide laundry detergent from a supermarket. ~~He was caught because his partner "hung him out to dry." http://goo.gl/gHGiA

Food Network's host of "Dessert First," Anne Thornton, has been fired for stealing recipes from Martha Stewart. ~~As a matter of fact, she's been mimicking Martha Stewart so much, Anne's also been covicted for insider trading! http://goo.gl/OUhdt

The former Kennebec Ice Arena, which saw its roof collapse last winter, will be rebuilt and re-named, "The Bank of Maine Ice Vault." ~~By the way, during hockey games, goals will now be called, "deposits."

Record company Sony has apologized for hiking prices of Whitney Houston songs right after she died. They said the music was "mistakenly mispriced" on iTunes. ~~ "I Will Always Gorge You" http://goo.gl/LWlWk
