What makes you sick from a cold? Is it evil scientist squirrels implanting radioactive acorns in our hearts? Tiny alien parasites? Brain strain? Germs from a person with a cold can be shared with another person through sneezes.

There are types of germs called viruses that poison cells and command them to make copies of the germs. Then some of the viruses go to infect other cells. Your body then makes mucus (or snot) to wash away the viruses. When you sneeze these germs cath air and could easily enter another person.

So squirrels did not perform surgery. But tiny one-celled organisms do invade your body, hijack your cells and catch a ride to make another person sick.

NEW PAROLE LAWS

by  • 

In 2012 Darril Dennis, who had been on parole for 38 hours, kidnaped and murdered an 18 year old named Abram. In response Arkansas made a new law saying parolees could stand trial again or sign a waver to go back to prison for remaining time. Only 8% percent chose to stand trial.

As a result prisons reached their max capacity and overflow was sent to county jails. They filled up. People were sleeping on the floor in the offices.

Now the State is repealing the law.
