The drive-thru's days may be numbered.

These days, you can get just about anything delivered to your home.  From books to groceries, you don’t have to leave your house to get anything if you time your orders right, and same-day delivery is becoming increasingly popular for more and more things, except for one area:  fast food.  If you want a burger and fries, you have to go get it yourself, but that may be changing.  Four Washington, D.C.-area Burger King restaurants have rolled out a trial delivery service; the nation’s #2 burger joint is looking to expand this trial into other areas if all goes well.

It’s a wonder more places haven’t tried it.  For a place like Domino’s Pizza, delivery is 70% of their business.  Chinese food places have delivered for years, too.  However, some places like Krispy Kreme and KFC have attempted delivery in the past, only to shelve the programs for various reasons or keep access severely limited.  Maybe there’s too much cost involved in kicking off a new method of food sales.

“We wish them luck,” said Domino’s Pizza spokesman Tim McIntyre. “There is a reason that not all pizza places deliver:  It isn’t easy.”

Especially if you’re delivering pizza to the moon.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
