Have you ever wanted to be in the Guinness Book of World Records for “longest bingo game”? Well, you may have a tough time accomplishing that feat in North Carolina, where the law limits bingo games to under five hours per session.

Rhode Island: No one may bite off someone’s leg. Yes, that’s a real law. If you break this one, you are looking at least one year in jail, with the potential of up to 20 years.

Tennessee: It’s illegal in Knoxville to advertise fortune telling and will result in a $119.50 fine.

The strangest fine in Vermont we could substantiate: It’s illegal to prohibit people from putting up clotheslines. The state wanted to get ahead of landlords and Homeowner Associations standing in the way of renewable energy sources.

It’s one of the most iconic images from World War II: a group of U.S. Marines raising the American flag at the Battle of Iwo Jima.

And now the U.S. Marine Corps admits it has long misidentified one of the service members who took part in the flag-raising – three years after admitting a similar error.

According to NBC News, a team of historians recently determined that one of the Marines in the photo was Cpl. Harold “Pie” Keller, not Pfc. Rene Gagnon, as had long been believed.

The correction comes three years after a previous inquiry found that another of the flag-raisers was Pfc. Harold Schultz, not Navy hospital corpsman John Bradley, NBC reported.

Call three friends, jump in the bubble gum pink Jeep, and hop on the Pacific Coast Highway. The Barbie Malibu Dreamhouse is available to rent.

It is beachy and dreamy, and it is very, very pink. Better yet? It's only $60 per night on Airbnb.

The USS Enterprise, or "Big E," is the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and has more steel construction than the Empire State Building. Though decommissioned in 2012, the Enterprise was once the Navy's largest vessel — with a 1960 price tag of $451 million.
