This month, the American fast food chain, in an oddball marketing tie-up with Microsoft, launched the Windows 7 Whopper, a 5-inch (12 cm) tower of meat stacked with seven beef patties and weighing nearly a kilogram - more if slathered with ketchup. The magnitude of meat has evidently blown the idea of a traditional lunch of fish and rice from the minds of men in their...

The burger's whopping success exceeded expectation, and Burger King decided to extend its campaign for another nine days until Nov. 6.

Then, to soothe his dying mother (Fionnula Flanagan), he concocts his biggest whopper yet: Heaven. Word gets around about this great news, life after death, and in a fairly bold Act III Mark reveals to his swelling flock of acolytes the truth, or the inspired lie, of the "big man who lives...

I don't know how you can expect to get anything you want without some degree of long-term commitment. Quitting is the easiest thing to do. That's why most people don't make...
