This is classic...Look at the description line that the creator of
"alt.food.mcdonalds" chose:

"Carl Sagan's Favorite Burger Place"

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.food.mcdonalds/about

hint: "survival of the fittest" or not! Get it?

Because of "billions and billions served," right?


>hint: "survival of the fittest" or not! Get it?

Hmm, not really.

 "have it your way" == "natural selection" ?
   (but that would be burger king)

 "secret sauce" == "primordial goo" ?

 mcmuffin made with missing link?

Hmmm...you have some good thoughts here, especially the "billions and
billions" connection but I was thinking more along the lines of Sagan's
name, I presume, being invoked merely to represent an
evolutionary mode of thought in light of which, McDonald's, and all
they are and represnt, is thus considered.
