Not all states base their jury pools on voter registration lists. When I lived in California, I received a jury summons even though I wasn't registered. I believe they use DMV records. Of course Massachusetts might indeed be a state in which voter records are the source, which would make this a very interesting situation.
Since there is less head on the beer than from a traditional pour, it looks like more beer rather than less.
As for more money, this should save the vendor money by lowering labor expenses and increasing sales volume. But considering the captive markets in which these most likely will be deployed, I've got to admit that the savings probably won't be passed along to you and I.
My guess is that it is faster. You wouldn't want this at your neighborhood bar but for sporting events and concerts, it could increase the productivity of the workers selling beer, making the extra expense of the cups worthwhile.
Probably not from IHOP or Denny's. Judging from the quality of the photo and the pancakes, it is probably the work of a food stylist. The pancakes are likely made out of a type of foam and the syrup probably isn't even liquid.
Of course it is silly to get worked up about the accuracy of the images. It was intended to be a joke. Some people have no sense of humor. Even if it isn't a very good joke, getting bent out of shape over details that weren't the point of the humor seems like attention whoring.
I've always wondered if part of the cause of Atlanta's sprawl was the decision by BellSouth in the late 70s/early 80s to make it the world's largest free calling zone. While in most locations at the time anything over ten or so miles was considered long distance, a person moving into the exurban fringe (long before that term had come into popular use) could still make local calls to everyone else in the region. From edge to edge the free local calling zone was probably around seventy or eighty miles wide.
Moving out to the edge wouldn't have seemed like it was all that far away from the city when the calls to the office, family and friends living in town thirty or more miles away were considered local and didn't come with a financial penalty.
My university explicitly stated in the student handbook that test banks were legal. I think they wanted to discourage professors from reusing questions term to term. It leveled the playing field because underground test banks would always exist. This way everyone has a chance to access them (the student chapter of my area of study's professional society ran the department's test bank). It also puts the professors on notice that they can't be lazy in making tests.
The only way I can see what happened as being dishonest is if the students realized earlier in the term that the professor was using the publisher's questions but didn't bring this knowledge to the professor's attention so he could make up a different set of questions. But if it was merely happenstance that they studied the publisher's questions and he ended up using them, seems fair to me.
The scores might be a poor reflection of the students' mastery of the material but many tests are. I passed a chemistry midterm once because most of the questions were on molecular structure diagrams which I just happened to study heavily the night before.
Auburn University came up with something similar a few years ago. The problem is that there is only so much healing liquid in it, so while it can heal itself, it can only do it a couple of times. Plus it gets slightly deformed each time it is healed.

A more interesting and easier metablog would be to each day read the corresponding entry from Julie Powell's original blog and comment on that.
