Stupid People

 Advisors to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended on Wednesday that all U.S. adults younger than age 60 get vaccinated against hepatitis B. The new recommendation aims to prevent infection among middle-aged adults with hepatitis B increasingly impacting people in their 40s and 50s in recent years. 'We cannot eliminate hepatitis B in the U.S. without a new approach,' said CDC scientist Dr Mark Weng.(Snip)Adults commonly catch the disease through sexual contact and needle sharing.

 In other words, if you do stupid stuff you might get sick. Good that the feds are on it, eh?

Space Gas

  The average human being farts up to 15 times a day. That’s not a big deal if you work in the open air, but slightly more problematic if you work in an office or shop, and potentially deadly if you are lucky enough to be an astronaut.  ”Farts can kind of hang out,” Mike told Gizmodo. “There’s not as much airflow as on Earth. You gotta introduce airflow to get rid of contaminants and carbon dioxide”. He says that astronauts’ digestive systems don’t work quite as well without the help of gravity, and they tend to get “a little stuffed up”. Generally, astronauts try to go to the loo if they feel a fart coming, where at least there’s a little more ventilation to break up the stink.  The problem is, says space expert Derrick Pitts from The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, that "If you fart...the gas stays right there. It doesn’t go anywhere. “If you fart in zero G, you have a major problem,” he adds. Many of the gases naturally produced by our digestive syst...

Run Away!

  PONTIAC, Mich. — A prosecutor filed involuntary manslaughter charges Friday against the parents of a teen accused of killing four students at a Michigan high school, saying they failed to intervene on the day of the tragedy despite being confronted with a drawing and chilling message — “blood everywhere” — that was found at the boy’s desk. James and Jennifer Crumbley committed “egregious” acts, from buying a gun on Black Friday and making it available to Ethan Crumbley to resisting his removal from school when they were summoned a few hours before the shooting, Oakland County prosecutor Karen McDonald said. So Mommy and Daddy did the logical thing: they hit the road.  By mid-afternoon, authorities said they were searching for the couple. Sheriff Mike Bouchard said their attorney, Shannon Smith, had agreed to arrange their arrest if charges were filed but hadn’t been able to reach them. Ethan Crumbley, 15, emerged from a bathroom with a gun, shooting students in t...
