The car decal said, "We'll Kick Your Ass".It is the kind of stunt that could have quickly been put to rest.Instead it has prompted a flood of editorial letters to the Bakersfield Californian with mixed reviews on what the sticker said.There is still plenty of controversy over how the sheriff handled it.It is not the act that gets you in trouble, but whether or not it is a cover-up.There may or may not be a cover-up in this case, but there are a lot of different...

The "snowball" theory suggests that about 750 million years ago the Earth was covered with ice up to a kilometre thick, even in what are now the tropics.

Nico Water, like nicotine gum, comes with 2 or 4 milligrams of nicotine. But unlike the gum, Nico Water is marketed as a supplement -- not a replacement. Novel, yes. Benign?
