World's largest box of doughnuts weighs in at 666 pounds

[SecularMotion]

How much does the world’s largest box of doughnuts weigh? About 666 pounds -- a sign that eating 3,880 doughnuts might put your arteries through hell.

The giant pink box of doughnuts -- a stunt from Voodoo Doughnut's owners Kenneth "Cat Daddy" Pogson and Tres Shannon -- was unveiled on Portland, Ore.'s Hawthorne Bridge during an event called Brunch on the Bridge.

To help Voodoo achieve its goal of making it into the Guinness Book of World Records, Portland’s mayor Sam Adams, a notary and a scale master were on hand to verify that Pogson and Shannon had indeed constructed the world’s largest box of doughnuts.

4. Good thing they didn't do it in NJ or it wouldn't have made it to the scale in time.

5. Why is it, when you eat 666 pounds of doughnuts

you gain 1726 pounds? Is there something trans-dimensional about the shape that violates laws of mass/energy conservation? Or is it the ingredients?
