Two Guys Try to Switch Seats After a Drunk Driving Crash . . . and Both Get DUIs:
Around 3:00 A.M. on Monday, in Lincoln, Nebraska, 21-year-old Shawn Walker was driving drunk in his 1996 Pontiac Grand Am. His friend, 21-year-old Daniel Krupicka, was in the passenger seat, and was also drunk.
Shawn ended up driving into some MUD and the car got stuck. Before the police could get there, Daniel . . . who's clearly an INCREDIBLE FRIEND . . . offered to switch seats with Shawn so it would look like he was driving.
They switched seats. But the cops saw them do it. And because of that . . . BOTH of them were arrested for drunk driving. That's the right call too . . . since both were drunk behind the wheel, they both got hit with the same charge.
Daniel WAS less drunk than Shawn, which might be why he agreed to claim he was driving . . . but they were both still well over the legal limit. Daniel's blood-alcohol was .123 and Shawn's was .218.
A 15-Year-Old Lifted a Buick Off His Grandfather to Save His Life:
Well, we've told you about all of today's nonsense, chaos, and stupidity. Now here's "The Good News."
On Saturday morning, 15-year-old Austin Smith was working on a 1991 Buick in Ida Township, Michigan with his 74-year-old grandfather, Ernie Monhollen.
The car was up on blocks, and Ernie was trying to test the brakes. So he climbed underneath to take a look, and asked Austin to climb in and pump the brake pedal.
Austin felt the car rock and got out . . . and right afterward it slipped off the blocks and pinned his grandfather underneath.
Even though the Buick weighed more than 2,000 pounds, Austin went to the front end and LIFTED IT. And he was able to get it high enough so Ernie could slide out.
Ernie suffered broken ribs, a fractured eye socket and a big cut on his face, but he's going to be okay.
44% of the Salt We Eat Comes from These Ten Foods:
According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control, the ten saltiest foods we eat make up 44% of our sodium intake. Most of them aren't NATURALLY salty . . . food companies ADD the salt.
In fact, the USDA says naturally occurring salt only accounts for about 13% of our sodium intake. Another 77% is added by food manufacturers, and only 10% is what they call "discretionary salt use". That's the salt you add while cooking or at the table.
Researchers have also found that about 25% of our total salt intake comes from restaurant food.
Basically, nine out of ten people are getting too much salt, which can lead to high blood pressure and heart problems. So cutting back on any these is probably a good idea. And some of the top ten are surprising.
#1.) Bread. According to the CDC, it's the number one source of salt in our diet. Bagels are the worst. A Dunkin' Donuts Salt Bagel has almost 3,500 milligrams of sodium, which is one-and-a-half times what you should have in a whole DAY.
You're not supposed to have more than 2,300 milligrams. So an onion bagel is better. They have about 380 milligrams of sodium.
#2.) Deli Meat. Some are obviously better than others, but most deli meats and cured meats are high in salt. For example, six thin slices of salami have 1,130 milligrams of salt . . . or the same amount as 39 Ritz crackers.
#3.) Pizza. A large slice of pepperoni at Pizza Hut has about 600 milligrams of salt, and you never just eat one piece. A personal deep-dish pizza at Uno has almost 5,000 milligrams of salt.
#4.) Poultry. If you check the label on raw chicken at the grocery store, it usually says something like "10% broth solution." That translates to about 60 extra milligrams of salt per chicken breast. So look for packages that say "No added broth."
#5.) Soup. Chicken noodle soup is one of the saltiest soups, especially if you get it from a restaurant. Minestrone is better. It has about one-third as much salt.
#6.) Burgers and Sandwiches. A cheeseburger at McDonald's or a sandwich at Quizno's can have 4,000 milligrams of salt. So the burgers and sandwiches you make at home are generally healthier.
#7.) Cheese. Parmesan and cottage cheese are both loaded with salt. They each have about 900 milligrams per cup. Low-sodium versions are obviously better. And regular cheddar has about half as much.
#8.) Pasta. The actual noodles aren't really the problem. It's what you put ON them. Sauces are usually high in salt, especially at restaurants. And things like Ramen Noodles are worse. One package has over 2,000 milligrams.
#9.) Steak. It doesn't HAVE to be high in salt, but it usually is. Country fried or chicken fried steak is the worst. One steak can have upwards of 6,000 milligrams of salt. A regular filet has about a quarter of that.
#10.) Salty Snacks. This is the one people struggle with most. Things like chips, popcorn, and pretzels are literally COVERED in salt. Seventeen Rold Gold pretzels, which is one serving, contain almost 20% of the salt you're supposed to have in a day.
