5_2005_HOTDOG.gifBitchy cranks round the nation can finally stop their complainin'. If you're one of those cranky bitches and you've got time to waste tomorrow, you may want to head to the James R. Thompson Center at 100 W. Randolph St. to witness the signing of a treaty that is sure to change the world. Chicago-based companies Alpha Baking Co., bun bakers, and Vienna Beef, wiener producers, will sign "The Great Piece Treaty" at 11:45 a.m. The treaty is a promise by both companies to produce their hotdog products in packages of eight until the end of time.

We've heard that airplane manufacturers may soon follow suit. They're currently in negotiations with black box makers to try and make planes out of the same indestructible material.
