Surf and turf: Dead cow washes up on Seattle shore
SEATTLE, Sat Feb 05, 05:32 PM
Authorities in Seattle say bovine met the shoreline when beachfront residents found the body of a 400-pound cow washed up by the surf.
Seattle Animal Shelter enforcement supervisor Ann Graves says animal control officers received a report Thursday that the carcass of an adult cow had beached in West Seattle.
The tide later moved it in front of a home.
A Seattle Police Department Harbor Patrol vessel towed the cow to a boat ramp Saturday, where it was loaded onto a rendering truck. Graves say it had no ear tag or other identification.
It's not clear how it got in the water. Graves say it could have been dumped by owners after it died naturally.
The beached bovine was first reported by West Seattle Blog

'Biggest Loser' competitor sells 1.5 lb. burger
AFTON, Wyo., Tue Feb 01, 06:06 PM
An Olympic champion wrestler has been serving a 1.5-pound hamburger at his Wyoming restaurant, even while competing to be "The Biggest Loser" on TV.
The mighty Rulon Burger at Rulon Gardner's Burger Barn restaurant is so big it's molded in a pizza tin. It comes on a bun with all the toppings.
Gardner won gold at the 2000 Olympics by beating Alexander Karelin, a Russian who hadn't lost in 13 years. Gardner's challenge to all comers now: Finish the burger plus a basket of fries and a 44-ounce drink in 20 minutes.
Winners get a signed Rulon Gardner Olympic Champion T-shirt and their name on Rulon's Wall of Fame. Gardner's best time is 8 minutes, 23 seconds, set when he opened the restaurant in his hometown in 2004.
This year, Gardner has been competing to lose weight on the NBC show, "The Biggest Loser." He weighed in at the beginning at 474 pounds, more than 200 pounds heavier than when he won gold.
His reality show teammate, Justin Pope, runs a gym with Gardner in Logan, Utah. Viewers have included Jeff Hunsaker of Orem, Utah, who made the Wall of Fame a couple years ago by eating a Rulon Burger in 19 minutes, 1 second.
Hunsaker said he's been trying to lose 30 pounds himself.
"I'm now watching the show because of him and being inspired, frankly," he said.
Hunsaker said he visits the Burger Barn every year while driving to Jackson to ski. His strategy for beating the Rulon Burger included cutting the burger into quarters.
"Failure's not an option in my mind when it comes to things like this," Hunsaker said. "I was going to make it. If I had to throw up, so be it, I was going to get it down."
The last fourth was a killer, he said, but Hunsaker swallowed it all.
"It tasted great," he said.
Gardner has stayed in the news since 2000, and not just by wrestling.
He was stranded in a snowmobile outing in 2002 and lost a toe to frostbite. A car hit him on his motorcycle in 2004. Three years after that, he was forced to swim in 44-degree water when his plane
