I wonder if this will be a popular query on WolframAlpha today:
Thanks to @mathematicsprof for the idea!

Prior to seeing this sign, I had no idea Chicken McNuggets could ever be purchased in quantities greater than 20.
Furthermore, at $10.99, this is the lowest price-per-nugget I have ever seen, coming in at just around 22 cents per McNugget. That’s over 10% cheaper than the limited-time 4-McNuggets-for-a-dollar special!
Since this offer is available only in Puerto Rico, a serious price analysis would have to include some kind of cost-of-living / value-of-the-dollar comparison.
If I recall correctly, the Big Mac was priced about the same as in the U.S.: that’s probably a good enough benchmark, isn’t it? I’m sure there’s a Big Mac-index in somebody’s international economics book.

The Most Beautiful Equations
This is a nice comment-thread and poll on Quora responding to the question “What is the most beautiful equation?”
http://www.quora.com/Mathematics/What-is-the-most-beautiful-equation
No surprise to see Euler’s Identity on top with a whopping 350 votes.
There are fun entries all throughout thread, and I definitely learned a few things through perusing. And I guess I can forgive the participants for including some inequalities on the list.
