This and That
According to a small study, driving with a bad cold is like driving while wasted. Researchers found a heavy cold can decrease your driving ability by 50%. (of course, my homemade cold remedy, Tylenol and whiskey, doesn't help the situation, either)
The country that's 'magically delicious' is actually pretty depressed. Only 45% of the Irish people surveyed claim to be happy with a quarter saying they were very unhappy. The remaining 30% stayed neutral. (See what happens when you ban smoking at the pub!)
People that consider themselves the "humble" type, are more willing to help out others than those that consider themselves to be "arrogant" and "egotistical." (the only time arrogant and egotistical people need your help is when they need your vote)
A new study found stressed out kids become stressed out adults. (Which means in this economy, you better shut down your kid's lemonade stand before they go crazy!)
People are Crazy
Here are some things people tried to sneak past airport security in 2011Birds
Two agents in Los Angeles discovered two birds wrapped in socks and taped to the passenger's leg and chest.
A Science Project
A college student's metal and wire science project shut down a checkpoint in Omaha.
Knives and Swords
A passenger tried to sneak a 14-inch sword hidden in a cane, a brass-knuckle knife, and a martial arts weapon called a Tactile Spike past TSA. He had the last two hidden in his socks.
Another passenger was carrying two sharp throwing knives in a hollowed-out book. The book, of course, was titled "Ninja: the Shadow Warrior."
Snakes and Turtles
A man was caught carrying seven snakes hidden in his pants.
Guns and Ammo
You can bring a firearm with you, as long as it's packed in checked luggage. That wasn't good enough for one guy who tried to sneak the following past TSA in his carry-on: A tree saw with a 13-inch blade, a pocketknife with a 3-inch blade, two throwing knives with 8-inch blades, eleven individual 30-06 rifle rounds, one 12-gauge shotgun slug, five count of buckshot, and five boxes, each containing 25 rounds of 12-gauge shotgun shells.
A stun-gun...
...disguised as a bright pink smart phone.
c4 Explosives
A soldier thought it would be cool to bring a few small chunks of C4 explosives home to show his family. The TSA thought it wasn't so cool.
240 Live Fish
The passenger didn't have a little baggie with a goldfish in it, they had 4 large hard-sided suitcases each filled with only fish and water.

Joke of the Day
Airplane passengers watched nervously as two men wearing pilot uniforms and dark glasses used canes to feel their way into the cockpit. Minutes later, the plane starts barreling down the runway, and the passengers begin to get scared as the water at the end of the airstrip nears. With only a few yards left, everyone screams, but the plane lifts off just in time. The passengers soon begin laughing in relief, assuming it was all a joke. "You know," says one pilot to the other, "one day they're gonna scream too late, and we're all gonna die."Surf This!
