The World's Tiniest Football Player...
...on a video game.
The latest update to the popular EA Sports video game, Madden 2006, accidentally had a bug in it that made N.Y. Jets offensive lineman, Michael King, a mere 7 inches.
Excerpts from the CNET News.com story:
Due to a bug in a recent update to Electronic Arts' best-selling football title, "Madden 2006," King can be seen in the game as a tiny, 7-inch-tall version of himself.
According to Phil Frazier, a "Madden" producer, the bug was the result of a typo in the spreadsheet that lists player attributes such as weight, height and team affiliation. Frazier explained that the spreadsheet is designed to accept players' heights in inches, and therefore expects a two-digit entry.
"You can barely see him on the field, unless you go into replay (mode)," Frazier said. "He's a tiny little guy."
In any case, Frazier said the bug didn't change the way "Madden" played, despite King's diminutive stature. But he did acknowledge the humor of the situation.
"It wouldn't affect play," Frazier said. "He would literally look like a little speck. If he was the running back, the ball would be so big he would literally be inside the ball, and the ball would (look like) it was moving around on the ground (on its own)."

That was an absolutely hilarious burrito story, but he forgot to mention that Chipotle sucks as a restaurant. Still, I wonder if he took a Viking shit afterwards. This guy must have a huge appetite. Apart from the munchies, those burritos are pretty damn big for anyone to finish. But I do like how he got his money's worth. Sock it to the man! Shine on you crazy burrito.
My question is: how can birds get the flu? It's virtually impossible for them to use tissue paper with those wings. Do they also suffer from nausea while flying, and the desire to not eat? This shows once again our failure to line up enough flu shots this year and only using one supplier.
