Man Uses Raccoon To Start Breathalyzer Equipped Car; Raccoon Then Attacks Driver
http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2015/09/30/man-uses-raccoon-to-start-breathalyzer-equipped-car-raccoon-then-attacks-driver/

This story is straight out of the movie "Tommy Boy."
Remember the scene when Chris Farley and David Spade were rolling around in the car with what they thought was a dead deer in the back seat and it woke up and attacked the two?
That same kind of event happened — but this time for real — in San Diego, Calif.
A man who needed to blow into a Breathalyzer to start his car was too drunk to do so. What he did next is almost unbelievable. He somehow found a raccoon going through the garbage, captured it and then used the raccoon to blow into the breathalyzer.
Let he who has not kidnapped a raccoon to blow into the ignition breathalyzer interlock system cast the first stone:
According to a report that was shared on Imgur, the raccoon became unconscious so the man left the raccoon in the car and drove off. A short time after, the raccoon woke up and started to attack the driver.
He did not stop driving, however, and so he crashed into a residential fence.
The vehicle then apparently 'came to a stop' in a swimming pool.
I'm not one to judge, but generally when you have a Breathalyzer on your steering wheel it's there because you haven't made the best decisions in the past. And this, I have to believe, is this man's rock bottom. It's also probably the raccoon's.

worth it.

All I want to know is how he used the raccoon to blow the Breathalyzer equipment?  ( looking for a racoon ) I could sure use a blow.

I guess Drunks are idiots.......... 

I call BS on this raccoon story....you have to maintain certain seconds of airflow for it to work............I think this guys was trying to rape the raccoon.   Peels foam at the mouth means NO!   


If I had to do this I would just fill up a couple balloons before I would commence the drinking......lol.
Then use those to run the breathalyzer..........or just take my kids to the bar with me. show them how to work the breathalyzer before hand..........lol

tl;dr

North Korea expressed a desire to pursue a peace treaty with the U.S. It also wants to be able to freely pursue its nuclear weapons development program simultaneously.
"...we can't even get the North Koreans to focus on denuclearization as a goal. So that's why have not resumed any negotiations," he said.

For a happier life, give up Facebook, study says
http://phys.org/news/2015-11-happier-life-facebook.html


Always envious? Got a non-existent social life and struggle to concentrate? All this might be down to Facebook if you believe a study showing those who go a week without using the social network feel happier than others.
Carried out by the Happiness Research Institute, the study involved a sample of 1,095 people in Denmark who were divided into two groups, half of whom continued using Facebook while the others stopped.
"We focused on Facebook because it is the social media that most people use across age groups," Meik Wiking, HRI's chief executive told AFP Tuesday in Copenhagen, the Danish capital.
After a week, those people who hadn't been on Facebook said they were more satisfied with their lives, with 88 percent of them describing themselves as "happy" compared with 81 percent from the second group.
Some 84 percent said they appreciated their lives compared with 75 percent in the other group, and only 12 percent described themselves as dissatisfied, compared with 20 percent among those who continued using Facebook.
At the end of the experiment, the abstainers reported having a richer social life and fewer difficulties in concentrating, while the others reported no such change.
"Instead of focusing on what we actually need, we have an unfortunate tendency to focus on what other people have," the authors of the study wrote.
In other words, Facebook users are 39 percent more likely to feel less happy than non-users.
