The BBC reports that the world’s most expensive sandwich is now available in London. The McDonald sandwich, named after its creator Scott McDonald, the chef at London department store Selfridges, is said to be the world’s most expensive sandwich. The sandwich consists of 24-hour fermented sourdough bread, wagyu beef, fresh lobe foie gras, black truffle mayonnaise, brie de meaux, rocket, red pepper and mustard confit and English plum tomatoes. The BBC reports that there have been least five advance orders placed for the 21oz meal that costs $148.

I haven’t eaten at any of the world’s top 20 restaurants, nor do I plan to in the near future (as I’m sure they’re all expensive), but it’s a really cool look at what Restaurant Magazine has dubbed the top 20 restaurants in the world.

According to Restaurant magazine, El Bulli, Ferran Adria’s iconic restaurant in northern Spain tops the list, upsetting last year’s winner, the U.K.’s Fat Duck, now number two, where El Bulli was last year. Both restaurants specialize in experimental cuisine. The top U.S. restaurant is French Laundry at number four.

Here’s a cool twist to the night light idea. If you’re groggy and looking for a glass of water but don’t want to be shocked by turning on all of your kitchen lights, just grab a glass and turn on your faucet. The Blue LED faucet light attaches to any faucet and emits an eerie (but cool) blue glow when the faucet is turned on.

Available at ThinkGeek for $15.

We’ve all heard of companies or organizations claiming they’ve got the world’s largest, smallest, fastest, first, or most unique product. Most of the time that’s just the marketing and advertising people and their grand claims. In the case of the newly unveiled display at Miami’s Dolphin Stadium, they hype may be justified. The 720p display is a staggering 137 feet wide by 50 feet high, making its diagonal dimensions 1,750 inches. So, when stadium officials boast that it’s the world’s largest HD display, it just may be!

Just imagine the picture clarity and the “in your face” factor of anything they’d put on that! Amazing! (Yes, the picture above is not a billboard, but the actual display.)

According to Boing Boing, in the 18th and 19th century, it very was common to bind accounts of murder trials in the killer’s skin – known as anthropodermic bibliopegy. Apparently, one such volume was found on the street in Leeds, England. It’s a 300-year-old ledger written mainly in French. According to the BBC, police say that might have been tossed after a burglary.
