I've never thought of this excuse not to go to the gym, it's not in my arsenal.

Dwayne Johnson couldn't really leave his house Sunday morning to go to the gym and it's all due to a hawk that perched itself on a pillar right outside his kitchen and enjoying a snake!

The Rock said "I tried to open the door with some firm DJ energy and instead of flying away, he got pissed and hasn’t stopped ka kaw’ng me since.

No update yet on whether he made it or not.

One of the greatest conundrums is the number of hot dogs and buns. (the answer on why there's only 8 pack of buns follows)

Heinz Canada just launched a petition on Change.org to force companies to sell hot dogs and buns in equal amounts.

Hot dogs tend to come in ten-packs, and buns usually come in eight-packs. And they think ten should be the new standard for both.

For what it's worth, there is a reason behind the mismatch. Hot dog companies started selling them in ten-packs in the 1940s, just because it's a round number.

But bun companies sell eight-packs because the standard pan they've always baked them in fits four buns per row.

These days, they also have pans that fit five though. So there's no good reason that can't be the new modern standard.

You can sign the petition here.
