"U.S. Now Arrests Marijuana Smoker Every 42 Seconds
And new FBI statistics show that police arrested a record-high 755,000 people for marijuana violations last year. The pro-legalization group NORML reports a marijuana smoker is now arrested every 42 seconds in this country at a cost of approximately $7.6 billion annually. The number of marijuana arrests have nearly doubled since 1993 and now exceed the total number of arrests for all violent crimes combined, including murder, manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault."

Did you also know that the average life expectancy (in seconds) of an enemy soldier in a Chuck Norris movie is 4?
So awesome.
