Friday Poll: The Wurst Challenge
by JOHN ADAMS •
The Wurst Challenge: Charity or Gluttony? In Ypsilanti, Michigan, a children’s art center was the beneficiary of the Wurst Challenge, in which contestants tried to eat twenty-foot-long sausages to raise money for the FLY Children’s Art Center.

What happens when a supercomputer runs a food truck?
by JOHN ADAMS •
