A STUDENT is planning to carry out a crime spree by travelling across the United States and breaking weird local laws along the way.

Richard Smith, 23, will risk being arrested for falling asleep in a cheese factory in South Dakota and going whale-hunting in landlocked Utah. He intends to break about 40 strange state and town laws as he crosses America, starting from the notorious former prison island of Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay.

His 18,000-mile journey across the continent will end in Hartford, Connecticut, where it is illegal to cross the road while walking on your hands.



I don't know how 'factual' this article is but it is interesting to think of trying.

it is illegal to cross the road while walking on your hands.

You know what's sad about that?  Nobody would have thought about putting such a law in the books unless some idiot had actually tried crossing the road on his hands....

Titan is the only moon with an atmosphere. 

Maybe there is intelligent life there, I am becoming doubtful of it's being widespread on Earth.

As most trekkies know, the most powerful reaction, the one that powers starships such as the Enterprise, is the matter-antimatter reaction.  It converts all the mass of the matter and anti-matter into energy.

It is used by the LHC and the soon to be shut down Tevatron in the search for the higgs boson.

All of the anti-matter produced by man to date would not be enough to heat a cup of tea.

So... yelling for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days produces antimatter?
