Two fast food addicts celebrated their marriage with their dream wedding cake - a 42lb cheeseburger.

Tom and Kerry Watts' mammoth burger was nearly half a metre wide and weighed the equivalent of about 100 quarter pounders.

It was the highlight of the couple's wedding reception which was held at Zak's American diner in Norwich.

Firefighter Tom, 36, said: "Not only did I get to marry the woman of my dreams but I also got to have the burger of my dreams in the same day.

"I could not believe the size of the burger. It was just incredible. Everything has just been amazing. It was the best day ever."

Kerry, also 36, added: "We love burgers and thought it would be a bit of fun. It made the day even more special. We love chocolate too so we also had a chocolate cake."

It took butcher John Baxter a whole day to create and shape the giant burger which weighed 400oz when uncooked.

It had to be cooked for three hours and required three chefs to lift it out of the oven before it could be put into the specially made sesame seeded bun.

The bun alone weighed 5kg and staff had to cut it in half using a saw. The burger also featured 12 iceberg lettuces, 12 onions, 30 tomatoes, 48 slices of dill pickle, 2kg of cheese, a litre of ketchup and a litre of mayonnaise.

An Australian company has invented a suit that can be worn in the shower.

The garment has been specially designed so that it can be cleaned under the shower head with no soaking, dry cleaning - or even soap.

Australian Wool Innovation says it has already received 170,000 orders from Japan for its revolutionary shower suit.

AWI spokesman Stephen Feighan told The Australian newspaper that the suit could be worn in the shower, although it was probably better to drape it on a clothes hanger to wash it.

"The idea is that you hang it up and then you give it a spray, and leave it overnight, and it's dry the next morning,'' he said.

The shower suit appealed to busy corporate people, particularly those who travelled frequently or stayed up late, Mr Feighan said.

Quick pirate joke: man walks into a bar ands sees a pirate with a peg leg, an eye patch and a hook for a hand. The guy feels bad for the pirate and buys him a drink. They knock back a few and the man asks how the pirate lost his leg. The pirate says, "I lost this here leg to sharks in the Caribbean." The man nods and asks how the pirate lost his hand. The pirate replies, "I lost this here hand in a duel with Davy Jones himself." The man nods and asks how the pirate lost his eye. The pirate says, "I was sleeping on a beach and a seagull dumped in it." The man, confused, asks how that could possibly take somebody's eye out. The pirate replies, "I tried to wipe it away, but it was my first day with the hook."

Summer is over and those rebate checks have been cashed, and a new Harris poll finds the White House will be disappointed: 52% of Americans say spending the checks did not stimulate the economy and only 37% say that it did.

Break it down by political party, and 52% of Republicans say rebate checks did stimulate the economy; 61% of Democrats and 56% of Independents say that it did not. As for what it got spent on, the poll finds two-thirds of the money went to the bank or to credit card issuers.

# People primarily used their rebate checks to reduce non-mortgage debt such as paying off bills or credit cards (36%) and to add to their cash savings (29%)

# One in five (21%) did actually spend the money on other things they wanted to buy

# Just one in ten (11%) actually used the rebate to take a trip for leisure purposes

# Americans spent their money on home improvements (14%) and in restaurants and dining out (12%)

# Only five percent said they used the money for technology devices or entertainment events

Sick of wading through your closet to find what you want to wear every morning? Self magazine reports that we generally wear 20% of our wardrobe 80% of the time, so a good key to finding what you really need is to turn all your hangers backward with the hooks facing you. When you wear a specific item, turn it back the other way, and after one month you should have a good gauge of what you need to keep front and center and what can be packed away or donated to charity.
