https://i.postimg.cc/qvvgK1Zn/BBR4veB.jpg Lincoln is celebrating the Continental's 80th anniversary with a nice dose of nostalgia, adding coach doors—otherwise known as "suicide doors"—to a limited run of 80 examples. The aptly named Lincoln Continental 80th Anniversary Coach Door Edition integrates a design cue first introduced on the model in 1961 and pays homage to that vintage classic. |

In 2001, Pizza Hut made history by delivering a six-inch salami pizza to the International Space Station (ISS) in outer space. The company paid $1 million to the Russians to make it happen and made a commercial out of the mission. |

No Happy Hour . . . Not in Massachusetts. The home of the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots forbids happy hour as a public safety measure. |

According to Oklahoma state law, beer with 4% alcohol by volume (so pretty much all beer) needs to be sold at room temperature at liquor stores. |

In Iowa, patrons are allowed to start a tab at a bar, but bartenders must make sure tabs have been paid in full before customers leave. |

No Drinks Without Food. Utah will only let you purchase drinks at a restaurant if you're buying food, too. |

No Booze Without Food. According to Indiana state law, places that sell individual drinks (think cocktails and pints of beer) must also offer soup, sandwiches, milk, coffee and soft drinks. |

Underage Drinkers Have to Pen Essays. Like the rest of the country, Arkansas' legal drinking age is 21; however, the repercussions for underage boozin' in this state are kind of unusual. In addition to paying a fine, minors caught drinking need to write an essay about alcohol for school. |

No Drinking Games. You can't play drinking games in any of Maine's bars. The state law prohibits "any game or contest that involves drinking," so no beer pong here. Maine also prohibits alcohol sales before nine o'clock in the morning on Sundays, except St. Patrick's Day. |

Happy Hour Has Rules. While Virginia law does allow happy hours, bars and restaurants are required to follow some strict rules. For example, they can only advertise with the phrases "drinks specials" or "happy hour." "2-for-1 drink specials" are off-limits. |

No Vanity Plates. Drinking and driving should never be tolerated, but New Jersey has some pretty wacky consequences for getting behind the wheel. Not only do you (understandably) have to pay a fine, but you are also disqualified from receiving a personalized vanity license plate. |

No Beer Sales Before Hurricanes. You might want to rethink drinking your way through a hurricane. Several counties in Florida have placed bans on beer sales leading up to and during a state emergency. |

You Have to Leave the Horse at Home. In Colorado, it's illegal to ride a horse under the influence of drugs or alcohol. |

You Have to Stay Sober. It doesn't matter whether you show up inebriated or had a few too many drinks, it's illegal to be drunk in an Alaskan bar. To make matters worse, a new law suggests law authorities can arrest you and hold you in jail until you sober up. |
https://i.postimg.cc/wjffY54H/443.jpg
You Can Buy Liquor at Any Time. It's actually not illegal to be publicly drunk in Nevada. According to state law, drunkenness is a health problem, not a legal woe. But Nevada isn't doing very much to keep the booze at bay: The state lets bars stay open 24 hours and makes liquor available in grocery and convenience stores. |

Bars Stay Open 24/7. It may feel like most states have cracked down on liquor laws, but anything goes in Louisiana. Take New Orleans, for example. Not only does the Big Easy permit public drinking, but it also allows bars to stay open 24/7. There are even drive-thrus selling daiquiris! |

Never say never, apparently. Just 10 days after the administrators in charge of the Bloodhound SSC world land-speed effort announced they were scrapping the project for lack of a buyer, one has apparently emerged and has expressed a willingness to continue the project’s quest for 1,000 mph. Both the business and its assets — including the scratchbuilt 42-foot-long rocket/jet hybrid streamliner — now belong to Yorkshire businessman Ian Warhurst, according to a Monday morning announcement from Andrew Sheridan and Geoff Rowley, the joint administrators for Bloodhound Programme Ltd. |

Of all the planets in our Solar System, you’d have to agree that Saturn is the most immediately recognizable. With its iconic rings, you can pick Saturn out in an instant, but if NASA scientists are right, we might actually be watching the planet’s most eye-catching feature disappearing right in front of us. In a new video, NASA Goddard explains that while we’ve always seen Saturn with its bold rings, the rings themselves are actually fairly young. Estimated to be less than 100 million years old, they’re a “new” feature of the planet, and they won’t be sticking around for long. The rings are made up largely of frozen water, and they’re actively dumping incredible amounts of ice onto the planet constantly. A recent paper suggests that a whopping 22,000 pounds of material falls from the rings every single second, and over time that rain will bleed the rings completely dry. |

Cereal manufacturers in Canada get a tax break if they include free toys in cereal boxes, according to Canada’s Chartered Professional Accountants organization. However, to qualify for the tax exemption, the toy can’t be beer, liquor or wine, which would be quite the prize if manufacturers actually included that in a box of cereal. |

Buying nuts with shells will save you money in England. That’s because there’s a 20 percent value-added tax on shelled nuts. There is an exemption, though, for peanuts — which escape the tax if they’re shelled as long as they’re not salted or roasted, according to British news publication The Telegraph. |
