No Beer Sales Before Hurricanes. You might want to rethink drinking your way through a hurricane. Several counties in Florida have placed bans on beer sales leading up to and during a state emergency.

You Have to Leave the Horse at Home. In Colorado, it's illegal to ride a horse under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

You Have to Stay Sober. It doesn't matter whether you show up inebriated or had a few too many drinks, it's illegal to be drunk in an Alaskan bar. To make matters worse, a new law suggests law authorities can arrest you and hold you in jail until you sober up.

You Can Buy Liquor at Any Time. It's actually not illegal to be publicly drunk in Nevada. According to state law, drunkenness is a health problem, not a legal woe. But Nevada isn't doing very much to keep the booze at bay: The state lets bars stay open 24 hours and makes liquor available in grocery and convenience stores.

Bars Stay Open 24/7. It may feel like most states have cracked down on liquor laws, but anything goes in Louisiana. Take New Orleans, for example. Not only does the Big Easy permit public drinking, but it also allows bars to stay open 24/7. There are even drive-thrus selling daiquiris!

No Vanity Plates. Drinking and driving should never be tolerated, but New Jersey has some pretty wacky consequences for getting behind the wheel. Not only do you (understandably) have to pay a fine, but you are also disqualified from receiving a personalized vanity license plate.

Looks like "god" scratched his rear bumper up a bit.

Never say never, apparently. Just 10 days after the administrators in charge of the Bloodhound SSC world land-speed effort announced they were scrapping the project for lack of a buyer, one has apparently emerged and has expressed a willingness to continue the project’s quest for 1,000 mph.

Both the business and its assets — including the scratchbuilt 42-foot-long rocket/jet hybrid streamliner — now belong to Yorkshire businessman Ian Warhurst, according to a Monday morning announcement from Andrew Sheridan and Geoff Rowley, the joint administrators for Bloodhound Programme Ltd.

Of all the planets in our Solar System, you’d have to agree that Saturn is the most immediately recognizable. With its iconic rings, you can pick Saturn out in an instant, but if NASA scientists are right, we might actually be watching the planet’s most eye-catching feature disappearing right in front of us.

In a new video, NASA Goddard explains that while we’ve always seen Saturn with its bold rings, the rings themselves are actually fairly young. Estimated to be less than 100 million years old, they’re a “new” feature of the planet, and they won’t be sticking around for long.

The rings are made up largely of frozen water, and they’re actively dumping incredible amounts of ice onto the planet constantly. A recent paper suggests that a whopping 22,000 pounds of material falls from the rings every single second, and over time that rain will bleed the rings completely dry.
