Saturday, October 25, 2008

Iran tried to build the world’s longest sandwich at 1,500 meters, filled with chicken and ostrich meat. 1,500 meters!!! That’s almost a mile long!

Sandwich Fast of Faith

Tuesday, April 22, 2008

Happy Pesach to all my Jewish sandwich-loving readers. I think we all understand the enormous display of faith it takes to give up baked goods (read: most sandwiches) and I for one, am extremely impressed.
Those clever rascals at someecards have captured the sentiment well:
