  3. Hot Dogs and Water?

  4. 6:09 Newseum still afloat for now, until the gang running the place shakes out every dollar they can for themselves. They grabbed $5 million from Hewlett-Packard in 2010, resulting in a mediocre gallery the opened in April.

  5. Hot Dogs and water...Isn't that what they serve at the annual Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest? Are they inviting Joey Chestnut to the event?

  6. Yes, because they should be serving filet mignon at this event.
