This is why women live longer than men.
Funny but true.

Some celebrity arrests are truly shocking! Like say Reese Witherspoon. I mean she had to be the last celebrity I would have ever picked to one day have a mugshot. Some are kind of unexpected, but not entierly shocking and then there are these fine folks. These DUI arrests were comepletely expected. I mean we still were all shaking our damn heads, but not because we were surprised by the arrests, more surprised that they keep getting away with their bad behavior. Here's 7 of the least shocking celebrity DUIs ever!
Let's start with the latest and 'greatest'. Honestly... after a year of insulting fans, egging houses, peeing in mop buckets, visiting brothels and acting like 'douchbag' is his primary occupation, you'd have to be incredibly naive to not have seen this coming from the Biebs. Like maybe you're a Belieber or Justin's mom? Is there a White House petition to deport him yet?
First of all, isn't it nice that Paris Hilton has kind of fallen out of the public eye? I seriously hope I didn't just jinx something, because back in the day, girl was partying hard everywhere, for all the world to see. So it came as no surprise when she was busted for drunk driving. And then she was busted for driving with a suspended license. And then she went to jail for like one hot minute. I thought the whole point of being mega-rich was never having to do menial tasks, like driving, again? WTF, dumb celebs?
Oh jeez. At this point the only behavior that Lindsay Lohan could surprise me with is if she dedicated her life to bringing clean water to impoverished communities around the world. But really, with her lineage what chance did she have? Both of Loahan's parents have also been arrested for DUIs. So I guess the reckless, party apple doesn't fall far from the drunken tree?
Sure now she's cleaned up her act now, but Nicole was once just as much of a partier as her ex-BFF Paris. Nicole got busted driving the wrong way down a friggin' freeway(!?) late at night, hopped up on goofballs. You know how some pills have that warning about not driving or operating heavy machinery while using them? That warning exists for a reason, people. It's not a useless warning like the one that tells you not to blow dry your hair while you're soaking in the tub.
LaBeouf had several brushes with the law, including a drunken fight with a Walgreen's security guard, before he was busted for a DUI after causing a crash that actually involved the other vehicle flipping over. In good news, he hasn't been arrested lately. I guess he's just sticking to 'crimes against humanity' like plagiarism and being an all-around a-hole. How much do you love how he declared that he was no longer famous? Pretty sure it doesn't work that way, bro.
It's hard to believe that someone who became famous for getting knocked-up by a loser as a young teen and then became an adult film star, would make poor decisions but yeah...it happens. Making her all the more stupid? She drove drunk on St.Patrick's Day. I mean it doesn't get dumber than that. Farrah, please don't breed...oh crap... too late. Best of luck, Sophia. Hope you're never on 'Sixteen and Pregnant: The Next Generation'
Amanda had been exhibiting erratic behavior for awhile before she was finally busted for a DUI. Her behavior got even more erratic when she asked President Obama via Tweet to fire the cop who arrested her. And then her behavior got even MORE erratic-er and more erratic-er until it was Drake murdering her 'you know what' eratic. Luckily, she finally appears to be on the mend. Let the healing of all of our ruined childhoods begin.

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield.
Here are 13 fun and interesting information he has taught us.
1-Desserts in space mostly come in pudding form packed in pouches. This is chocolate pudding cake.
7- If you cry in space it will stay on your face
8-Nails must be clipped over an air duct to prevent them from floating around
9- Astronauts use tortillas instead of bread for sandwiches to avoid crumbs.

Sweden has always been ahead of its neighbors when it comes to reducing its environmental impact. To make power, the country does something unique: it turns trash into power on a national scale using high-power incinerators. At first glance, it solves two problems: getting rid of trash before it piles up and generating electricity without burning dirty fossil fuels.
But now Sweden is hitting a wall. According to the country’s Environmental Protection Agency, it needs more trash to feet Sweden’s energy habit, and it’s begun importing trash—just over 881,000 tons—from nearby Norway to do it.
It’s an innovative idea that seems to work for everyone. Sweden powers most of its homes and business with a waste product, and gets paid to do so. Norway gets rid of trash it doesn’t have space to bury more cheaply than exporting trash elsewhere (it gets the ashes back after incineration, but those take up much less space). And no one has to dig or drill for energy.
When I heard about the growth of this technology, I immediately thought of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the growing island of the world’s trash kept in constant swirl about 1,000 miles north of Hawaii. Back in 2009, a group of environmentalists and waste managers began trying to tackle the global trash heap, which has turned vast swaths of the Northern Pacific into an ecological dead zone. The Ocean Voyages Institute in Sausalito, California, tried testing ways to clean it up, including incinerating the trash to create energy or even oil.
Unfortunately, the idea that works so well for Sweden isn’t so replicable. Especially not in the geographically inconvenient North Pacific, where even a solid day’s work incinerating trash is quickly eclipsed by exponentially more trash that joins the heap.
But could trash incineration come to the United States at a large-enough scale? Only under the best of conditions, say a few waste managers I talked to. Like Swedish cities, U.S. municipalities would have to invest heavily in pick-up and distribution infrastructure that would essentially marry trash pick-up with energy generation. America’s insatiable appetite for power would also be hard to keep up with. And then there’s the problem of ash, which can be more chemically potent than the raw trash.
Still, even if large countries can’t embrace incineration-to-power technology as impressively as Sweden, the technology continues to grow. Montgomery County, Maryland, has a waste incineration plant. And later this year, the city of Pontotoc, Mississippi, is planning to start turning local waste into liquid fuel. In a region full of agriculture waste, not a bad idea.
