During her recent visit, the chancellor was honored by having an orchid plant named after her (Dendrobium Angela Merkel).

The A-hole Special

That's right folks, for those of you that want to eat an A-hole, here's the menu item for you (no, this wasn't photo-shopped, but on an actual menu at a local Japanese restaurant). The price for this brown glory? Only $13-$15 depending on how deep you wanna go.

For the record, I didn't order it. I have limits to my adventuresome eating habits.
