Detroit, MI -- Oil's not well when it comes to baking pumpkin pie. According to a new survey by the National Car Council, 90 percent of Americans say they know how to change their car's oil but only 66 percent can bake a pumpkin pie. WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- If you think tomorrow (Nov. 29) is the busiest day of the year at malls, you're wrong. According to a retailing expert at Purdue University, the day after Thanksgiving is only the fifth-busiest in sales volume. Richard Feinberg says the Saturday before Christmas will see the most items sold, although today may have the largest numbers of shoppers. NEW YORK -- Here's some Thanksgiving food for thought: There's a lot of energy in turkey and the trimmings. Scientists at Equal sweetener estimate that Americans will consume a total of 1.3 trillion calories this Thursday -- about 4000 calories per person. If those combined calories were converted to energy, it would be enough to provide 30 seconds of sunlight to the entire solar system. NEW YORK -- $6000 for a bottle of cognac? That's what Remy Martin is charging for a new, limited-edition liquor, Louis XIII Diamond. The reason for the steep price? The booze comes in a fancy Baccarat crystal decanter with a cognac-colored diamond weighing between 1.25 and 1.35 carats in the stopper.
