Something's Not Right

I don't want to jump on any bandwagon or anything, but something struck me as very odd this afternoon:

I went to Burger King to work on completing my Iron Man toy collection, and my cheeseburger meal came to $2.84.

I drove a mile down the road and noticed the price of a gallon of gas is $3.64.

I got a cheeseburger, a small Coke, and small fries-- and a freakin' toy-- for almost a dollar less than a gallon of gas. Crazy.

I also heard earlier today that the major oil companies had better than expected first quarters again this year.

Well, thank goodness the economic troubles we're in isn't affecting everyone.

Let's end on a happier note (for me anyway; I feel bad for you other suckas): my ticket to the first Iron Man showing on the big-ass UltraScreen tomorrow night just printed out of my printer. I don't let myself get excited for much (keep expectations low), but I am excited for this movie. I love Batman and Indiana Jones, but I was a BIG Iron Man fan back in the day...
