Visitors enter the museum, which is located at 1937 Spam Blvd., through a wall o’ Spam, a display of nearly 3,500 cans of the pork luncheon meat. A sign by the wall helpfully notes that if you manage to restrict yourself to eating only one can of Spam a day, the contents of the wall could feed you for 10 years. Since Spam has a shelf life of several years, this isn’t as far-fetched as it may sound. —Michelle Delio —A Tribute to Spam, the Meat (Wired)

So you’re saying that the coming of SPAM isn’t the apocalypse?
I believe it was cans of “SMEAT” in Waterworld.
Mmmm, Spam … when the apocalypse comes, Spam will save us!
