"MeatHead" news and stories

Is there any gathering that would not be made exponentially more festive by the addition of an edible meat head? We thought not. Here's how to craft one of your very own, inspired by a decade-old MIT student Web posting.

First, select and wash a plastic skull. If it seems especially non-food-safe, mummify it in plastic wrap. Set it aside and prepare a batch of red-colored Jell-O, using half the amount of water required by the recipe. Pour this into a shallow pan to a depth of 1/4 inch, chill and let it congeal to a rubbery state.

Are you sitting down? Good, because Miller Genuine Draft has some shocking news: today's man can't be defined by the terms "meathead," "metrosexual," and "yuppie."

MGD and Kelton Research Group polled more than 800 men between the ages of 21 and 34 with an eye towards repositioning the beer to cater to these "evolving" adults. Miller's even come up with a buzzword of its own: "the evolved entertainer." This 21st-century stud keeps his living space tidy, owns at least one cookbook, and has no problem whipping up an impromptu meal for a lady friend who pops over unannounced.

Lest I forget, 44% of those surveyed prefer a good beer over wine or liquor. Guess that means they're skipping the MGD and going straight for a Belgian ale.
