The internet. It’s everywhere and nowhere these days. We can pull information from a variety of devices (even coffee makers and toasters) and find out pretty much anything we want to know, which is pretty amazing when you think about it.

In-N-Out Lawyers Have Fun with Cease and Desist Letter
If you can’t have fun with the law, then what good is it? Well, beloved (and always crowded) burger chain In-N-Out seemed to get a laugh over San Francisco brewery Seven Stills’ new can offering, a “neapolitan” milk stout called, irreverently, In-N-Stout.
