Last week, the police in Naperville, Illinois, pulled over 24-year-old Lucas Wright in his 2006 Honda Accord.  Lucas was doing 100 miles-an-hour in a 50 mph zone.  And he gave them a perfectly logical explanation, at least in his eyes.

The police say that Lucas told them: "He'd just gotten his car washed and he was trying to dry it off."  And he wasn't lying, when they checked out his car, it was, in fact, wet.  And it was still drying when they impounded it and towed it away.

Lucas was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor for going 40 miles-per-hour or more over the posted limit.  (Naperville Sun)

#1.)  NOT BRUSHING YOUR TEETH CAUSES HEART ATTACKS?  According to a dental scientist at Bristol University in England, if you don't regularly brush your teeth, the bacteria in your mouth could actually put your life at risk. He found that the common bacteria that cause tooth decay and gum disease can actually work their way into the blood stream when your gums bleed, then help blood clots form, and cause heart attacks and strokes.  (The Telegraph)

#2.)  MEN ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE "SENIOR MOMENTS."  A study at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota found that 19% of men ages 70 and up regularly have moments where they have trouble remembering things. 14% of women ages 70 and up have the same problem.  About 15% of men and women who suffer mild memory loss develop dementia every year.  (Yahoo News)

#3.)  4% OF YOUNGER PEOPLE DON'T MIND A LITTLE ALCOHOL POISONING.  A new survey of people ages 18 to 24 finds that one out of 25, or 4%, say they don't see anything wrong with getting so drunk you end up hospitalized. The survey also found that 36% go out drinking with the specific plan to get HAMMERED and 33% think it's OK to wake up without knowing how they got home.  (The Independent)

According to a new survey, two out of every three Americans believe in soul mates.

People 18 to 29 are the most likely to believe in soul mates, 73%, or almost three out of four, believe there's one person out there they're destined to be with.  (It's so nice to be in that pre-jaded place in life, huh?)

The survey also asked married people if they believed they married their soul mate.

And a full 100 PERCENT of married people aged 18 to 29 said yes.

Older people were just SLIGHTLY less sunshine-and-unicorns about the whole thing.

92% of people ages 30 to 44 said they're married to their soul mate, 97% of people 44 to 59 believe they're with their soul mate, and 96% of people 60 and older believe they're with theirs. (Washington Times)

Last month, we told you about three obscure marriage laws that still exist today.  Today, we've got four more to add to the list.  Check 'em out:

MISSISSIPPI.  In Truro, Mississippi, a groom has to prove he's manly by hunting and killing either six blackbirds or three crows before his wedding.  This law isn't enforced anymore, but it's still on the books.

ARKANSAS.  For a few months in early 2008, Arkansas accidentally made it legal for anyone of any age, even INFANTS, to get married without parental consent.  In April of 2008 they changed it to 17 for boys, and 18 for girls.

KENTUCKY.  In Kentucky, it's illegal to remarry the same man four times.

LOUISIANA.  In New Orleans, it's illegal for a palm reader, fortune teller or mystic to officiate a wedding, even if they're ordained.  (MSN)
