Thanks for waiting: Porsche hands out free luggage for Panamera delay
"Most automotive enthusiasts have at least thumbed through the Porsche Design catalog, and maybe some have had the sudden urge to spend $3,580 on a set of shiny new Porsche-branded luggage. Early Porsche Panamera buyers will be able to ignore that urge, however, as the first 200 buyers in the U.S. will be receiving a free set of bags.
Porsche has already shipped its first batch of Panamera to the U.S., but customers are still waiting to take delivery of their four-door sports sedan. The delay stems from a problem with the Panamera’s key and software, which is being fixed at four points of entry around the country.
To smooth things over with Panamera customers, Porsche has included a set of $3,580 with the 195 cars affected by the defect.
Porsche says 72 of the cars have now been fixed and delivered to dealers, with the remaining 123 set to get the fix in the coming days. Panamera buyer #196 will be left out of the free luggage deal as all repairs are now taking place at the Porsche factory."

They Are Seriously Wasting Time Debating This . . . . .
Do ginormous fast-food helpings need warning labels?
"Indeed, it's a lot more saturated fat (by 10 grams) and a little more salt (1.6 grams more) than the country's National Health and Medical Research Council recommends in a day, similar to U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines. Yes, this hamburger is obscene. But does it deserve a warning label -- and perhaps even a government ban?
Bruce Neal, chairman of the Sydney World Action on Salt and Health, thinks so. He cautions that eating it would immediately cause a rise in blood pressure. Regular dining on the mad meat sandwich would cause chronic high blood pressure, Neal tells the Sydney Morning Herald, and then heart attack, kidney failure and stroke (all three? one at a time? he doesn't say). "This type of product is reckless," he adds, "if manufacturers were forced to use front-of-pack warnings, they would reform their products pretty quickly."
People need protection! is the message of a colleague in the cause of caution, Clare Collins, an associate professor in nutrition and dietetics at the University of Newcastle. She calls this and other similar fast salt-fat delivery mechanisms "monster foods" Of the burger, she says: "It should carry a message saying 'increase your health premium now because you'll need it for your coronary care.'"

Are There Any More Available Job Openings I Can Apply For . . . . .
Best Job Ever? £31k A Year Strip Club Researcher
"How does visiting lap dance venues and strip clubs several times a week sound? Good? Yeah, I thought it might.
How does interviewing a couple of hundred pole dancers and strippers grab you? By the nuts? I’m right again, ain’t I?
Well how about I throw into the ring a bag of cash to go with it? The bag is bulging with £31k of Government funding and comes with the job title, “Research Officer‘.
I kid you not, it’s true.
Leeds University in England have been given 31 grand in funding to research, “the rise and regulation of lap dancing and the place of sexual labour and consumption in the night time economy”.
Now, who still thinks that job on the Australian tropical island won by Ben Southall earlier this year is the “best job in the world”?"

Today's Theme Song . . . . .
It definitely must be a Monday. And to top it all off, it's the Monday after the long Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Wonderful, just wonderful I tell you. Well here's a song especially chosen for today to help brighten up the mood.
That's Smart Thinking . . . . .
VW consider F1 but only as an engine supplier
"We're looking for innovative things, and Formula 1 is the pinnacle of motorsport. Two years ago there was some talk that Volkswagen is going to buy the Red Bull F1 team, which we didn't need to buy. Why should we stick with one team if we can give our engines to more teams?
"If you buy Red Bull and Adrian Newey wants to go flying or fishing, the team is not successful any more.
"Look at BMW. They bought this multi-million dollar wind tunnel and a supercomputer and they now close the doors. Building an engine and providing it to a team is the best way."
