In wake of the tragedy at Sandy Hook, many people in the nation are rethinking our gun laws.

Federal laws prohibit the sale of firearms to those declared mentally unfit by a court.

A while back, Bill Clinton, when he was President, wanted states to have to report mental health records (and those declared unfit) to the FBI.

The Supreme Court said that that shouldn't be mandatory, and that states can choose to report them if they want.

Most choose to not do the extra work, so only 12 states make up the majority of mental health records in the FBI database.

Milk: the new white gold!

Holy shizz! Milk might be hitting $6 a gallon if there's no farm bill resolution!

Congress didn't complete action on the bill this year after it expired in September, and if no fiscal agreement is reached, farmers could face the prospect of returning to an antiquated system for pricing milk that would bring big price increases for consumers.

The fallback plan is

Well, this sucks: Chlamydia is on the rise in the U.S., and rates continue to climb in 2011.

This is referring to those that are diagnosed, of course, as there's no real way of knowing how bad the issue is with those who aren't. The jump in diagnosis is probably because of increased screening and more sensitive tests. Better news is that

A new survey has found that the average sex life is 50% more kinky ever since Fifty Shades of Grey became so popular.

A new scientific study just linked some very random findings!

Apparently, people who have ever had a head injury and who were also exposed to the herbicide paraquat had almost a three times increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease.

UCLA's Fielding School of Public Health took a survey of over 1,000 adults.

Of those people, about 357 had Parkinson's disease.

Those with the disease were twice as likely to have reported a serious head injury that lead to unconsciousness for more than five minutes.

The researchers also found that
