The Harbour Sports Grille in Toronto, for instance, offered a “Ray Lewis double murder burger” on its Super Sunday menu, with ketchup dribbled on top of the bun instead of inside it.

Outer limits in brain science
On Albert Einstein’s 1955 death at the age of 76, his family agreed to have his brain removed, weighed, measured and fixed in formaldehyde. It was divided into 240 segments, some of which made it to McMaster University in Hamilton. The seven published studies mostly associate parts of the genius’s brain to his intellectual ability, but others say the conclusions are meaningless. The most recent was done last year with 14 rediscovered photographs of Einstein’s cerebral cortex, the outer layer of the brain. Dean Falk at Florida State University in Tallahassee compared the photographs with other brains and found Einstein had unusual development in the areas used for cognition.
