Iowa Allowing Blind People to Carry Guns in Public

Iowa Allowing Blind People to Carry Guns in Public:  Iowa has begun issuing permits to people who are blind that will allow these residents acquire guns and carry these firearms in public.  Could this possibly be correct?  I’m guessing that this is a misprint and that Iowa has finally decided to give gun permits to blond residents, not blind residents.  Just for the record, I’m sure the blind would have no problem shooting a gun, its the aiming I’m a little concerned about.

Snake Slithers Out of Starbucks Toilet:  In an urban legend come to life, a Texas man with an admitted aversion to snakes was unpleasantly surprised when he encountered a snake slithering out of the toilet while he was attempting to drain his kidneys inside the bathroom of a San Antonio Starbucks.  When you consider some of the people I’ve seen coming out of Starbuck‘s restrooms these days, one would think the snake would have to be considered a rather pleasant surprise.  Still, you'd think when you pay someone to snake your toilet, they'd have the decency to remove all the snakes.

Teen Births Reach New Low:  According to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control, teen births reached a historic low in 2012, half of what they were at their peak in 1991.  I don’t think it has anything to do with increased teen sexual awareness, I think the video games just got better.

Bill Nye Joins Dancing With the Stars:  Its being reported that television host and “science guy” Bill Nye will be joining the Dancing With the Stars for new season.  Adding to the excitement, NASA plans to film the whole thing using the Kepler telescope.
