Dr. Obvious Speaks

This year's "winner" Joey Chestnut, enjoying a holiday weiner.

This week's winner for the quote containing the least amount of new information comes to us from Dr. Marc Siegel (now forever to be known as "Dr. Obvious"), a professor at the New York University School of Medicine. This could become a regular feature if people continue to be quoted by news services with stuff like this (this is from the AP):


"Hot dogs are extremely unhealthy, especially when eaten at high volume. They're really processed. They have high cholesterol and too much salt," he said. "One is bad for you, five's worse and 50 is terrible," he said.



In case you were unaware, this quote is in reference to the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating contest held annually on July fourth weekend at Coney Island in NYC.


In other news, running with the Bulls is risky:
