Don Gorske Eats His 35000th Big Mac Pushing Record to Unreachable Lengths

History was made today in the town of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin as Don Gorske pushed a Guinness World Record to an officially impossible length.

Going down as surely the only person who is capable of holding the record, Don sat down at the McDonald's on South Military in the small Wisconsin town to eat his 35,000th Big Mac.

Donald spent the event talking with his fans, handing out meal vouchers for McDonald's, and commemorative pins for the 35,000 event.

He eats two Big Macs a day, averaging 14 a week. To make sure he hit 35,000 on the nose for the event, Don limited himself to just one Big Mac per day for the three days prior to the event.

When his big journey started, he recalled it being May 17th, 1972 after getting his first car. He was eating 9 a day at that time.

Donald takes the record so seriously he's kept every container and receipt from the sales.

Man Wearing "I Never Argue" T-Shirt Busted For Violent Argument With Woman

A man wearing a t-shirt declaring “I Never Argue” was arrested yesterday when an argument with a female acquaintance turned violent, police report.

Daniel Murillo, 44, is accused of repeatedly punching the 24-year-old victim in the head while they were seated in a BMW outside an Econo Lodge in Kissimmee, Florida.

The duo had traveled from Tampa, but were left stranded when their car broke down. After a few days at the hotel, they ran out of money and “began staying in their vehicle while attempting to fix it” and arrange for a tow, according to police.

While Murillo said he and the victim had “been in a romantic relationship for several months,” the woman, cops say, denied an intimate relationship with him.

The inability to arrange a AAA tow, the victim told police, “upset Daniel and added to the tension between them, which led to a verbal argument.” Which, investigators charge, progressed to Murillo battering the woman.

New road design has neighbors in Pennsylvania suburb calling for change: "It's ridiculous"

Drivers are zig-zagging down one road in Montgomery Township and it's not to avoid a pothole. It's a new road design to get drivers to slow down on Grays Lane, which has created quite the conversation among neighbors.

"I think it's an eyesore. I think it's ridiculous," said William King.

"I think it's awkward. It's weird. I'm not used to it," said Ashley Wyckoff.

The traffic calming measure features yellow and white curved lines that run along two blocks of the road. They were painted on Friday. A Facebook post from the police department said the new design was in response to neighbors' complaints about speeding drivers. The department said signage, along with safety devices called "delineators," will be added.

Most drivers stayed within the lines, but not everybody.

"I mean right now, everyone is just driving through the middle of it," Lauren Chesterton said.

American wellness influencers are currently shocking the globe with their out-of-the-box daily routines that leave some perplexed and others just outright annoyed. After Ashton Hall showcased his viral Saratoga water morning routine, another wellness influencer named Torey Casey shared a video describing the various ways he uses urine in his daily routine.

Casey, who boasts a following of 394K on Instagram and is the author of "Rippedat50: A Journey to Self Love," recently shared with the New York Post how he thinks of urine as a diagnostic tool.

“I think it teaches your insides a little bit more about yourself,” he told The Post. “Urine has stem cells, amino acids and antibodies. It’s the hair of the dog, a direct biofeedback loop. You know what’s wrong with you as soon as you drink your morning pee.”

Camp Hill woman charged after allegedly making, cancelling hundreds of false hotel reservations

A woman was accused Tuesday of making hundreds of reservations at a Cumberland County hotel and then canceling them.

By canceling the fraudulent reservations, Taryn Dixon, 52, of Camp Hill, allegedly cost the hotel thousands of dollars because the no-show fee was only a percentage of the reservation price, the criminal complaint filed by the Cumberland County District Attorney’s Office states.

Dixon is accused of booking more than 400 rooms in 2025 at the Comfort Suites, located along Hanover Street in Carlisle, the complaint shows.

The manager reported that in January 2025, 44 different reservations were billed under Dixon’s credit card.

Dixon claimed the rooms were bought as Christmas gifts, however, the recipients were not aware of the reservations. She was warned not to make any more reservations, however, she continued to do so, investigators said.

One of those fraudulent reservations was made under Carlisle Borough Police Chief Taro Landis’s name, the complaint shows.

Another fraudulent reservation was made under the name of the county’s former top prosecutor, Merle Ebert, who died in 2024.. When asked if she knew about Ebert’s passing, Dixon allegedly said, “You mean his demise,” the complaint notes.

Due to the cancelled reservations, the hotel has lost upward of $2,000.

Dixon was arrested and arraigned in April 2025, and as a bail condition, she was not allowed to make reservations within a 200-mile radius of Carlisle.

The following weekend, investigators said she continued to make more reservations, 96 of them.
