The Bionic Burger


Now here’s an interesting hobby, how would you like to build your own Immortal Hamburger Museum? Matt Malmgren has done just that, but he’s not as eccentric as he sounds. Way before the movies 'Super Size Me' and 'Fast Food Nation' Matt stumbled across the discovery that the Big Mac has incredible staying power by putting one in his coat pocket one day and forgetting about it. Months later he pulled it out and it looked and smelled just the same! He decided to conduct an experiment and now owns the worlds largest collection of living Hamburgers (if you could call them living). According to Matt all you have to do to start your own collection is follow these 2 easy steps:

1. Buy some hamburgers from your favorite fast food restaurant: (any place that serves hybridized, chemicalized, genetically altered, hormone/ pesticide-laden food)
BUT DON'T EAT THEM!

2. Put your hamburgers in a fairly dry location and let them sit for many, many years. WARNING: Do not put your hamburgers in any sealed containers. The moisture needs to escape the food naturally, so letting them breathe in the open air works best.

And that's it! You are now the proud owner of your own Bionic Burger Museum! After 6 or 7 days, you can display them proudly. No animals or insects will touch them, which has to make you wonder just what IS in them doesn’t it?
