One of my favorite restaurants these days is Buffalo Wild Wings. They show the UFC fights. It is cheaper to go there than to throw a party at the house. I went there tonight to get some nutritional information for last nights snacks, I got this:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:Inetpubwwwrootindex.php on line 3

Dang.  I hate that for them.  I am sure they just pay someone to host their site.  Maybe it will clear up soon.  Someone should key them into how to turn display_errors to off.
