Delicious, Delicious Cheese Fire Shuts Down Norwegian Tunnel
Your commute may be bad, but at least it's not blocked by flaming goat cheese.

A truckload containing 59,000 pounds of burning goat cheese has blocked off a Norwegian tunnel for the past six days. The cheese in question, a brown caramelized goat cheese known as Brunost, caught fire as it was being transported through the Brattli Tunnel in Tysfjord, northern Norway, last week. The fire was extinguished Monday, but officials warn that the toxic gases emitted by the burning cheese may keep the tunnel closed for the next week. No injuries have been reported.
"I didn't know that brown cheese burns so well," Kjell Bjoern Vinje of the Norwegian Public Roads Administration told Reuters.
He confirmed that this was the first time cheese had caught fire on Norwegian roads in his fifteen years of experience.
Brunost is a caramelized goat cheese made from whey. Its flammability is due to its high concentration of fat and sugar.

18 Style Lessons From The Least Boring People At The Inaugural Balls

Proposition 8 Supporters Tell Supreme Court To Keep Marriage Ban
“Our Constitution does not mandate the traditional gendered definition of marriage, but neither does our Constitution condemn it,” supporters of the marriage ban argue.
The fight over California's Proposition 8 is before the Supreme Court.
Image by Jonathan Alcorn / Reuters
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court fight over California's Proposition 8 officially began in earnest Tuesday, as the proponents of the constitutional amendment initiative banning same-sex couples from marrying filed their opening brief with the justices.
Arguing that the case brought by same-sex couples seeking to marry was unlike past gay rights cases where the court struck down anti-gay restrictions and also unlike Loving v. Virginia, in which the court struck down bans on interracial marriage, the proponents of Proposition 8 argue that there is no historic reason "for invalidating marriage as it has existed in California for virtually all of its history, as it was universally understood throughout this Nation (and the world) until just the last decade, and as it continues to be defined in the overwhelming majority of States and Nations."
The lawyers for Proposition 8's proponents sum up their argument as such:
Our Constitution does not mandate the traditional gendered definition of marriage, but neither does our Constitution condemn it. This Court, accordingly, should allow the public debate regarding marriage to continue through the democratic process, both in California and throughout the Nation.
Opponents of Proposition 8 who filed the lawsuit and California state officials, as well as outside parties, will file a response to Tuesday's filing. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the arguments on the case, Hollingsworth v. Perry, on March 26. A decision is expected by the end of June.

House Will Vote On Short-Term Debt Limit Increase Wednesday
Suspension would last until May 19. Sequester and a continuing resolution to fund the government remain in flux.
Image by Susan Walsh / AP
WASHINGTON — The House will vote Wednesday on whether to suspend the debt limit until May 19, House Republican leaders said Tuesday, a move that would address one of three fiscal threats facing Congress, if only temporarily.
Lawmakers will face off over the other two issues, the sequester and the continuing resolution to fund the government, within the next few weeks.
For the time being, the White House and the Senate indicated Tuesday that they would support the debt limit measure.
But the debt limit suspension would come with some strings attached: The measure would also suspend salaries for members of Congress if the Senate does not approve a budget.
"The last time they passed a budget, the iPad hadn't even been introduced," said Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday.
Technically, the Senate could pass a brief, non-binding budget resolution that does not include specific line items to satisfy the bill's budget requirement.
And, technically, members of Congress would still receive their pay — eventually.
The 27th Amendment to the Constitution prohibits salary changes for members of Congress from taking effect until the subsequent Congress. As such, House Republicans are proposing merely withholding current salaries until the end of the this Congress, at which lawmakers would receive their full pay.
Even so, at their press conference Tuesday, House Republican leaders trotted out the catchphrase, "No budget, no pay," which they also turned into a Twitter hashtag: #NoBudgetNoPay.
Looking ahead to the battles over the sequester and a continuing resolution to fund the federal government, Speaker John Boehner would not comment on whether closing tax loopholes would be part of deficit-reduction discussions, as during fiscal cliff talks at the end of last year.
"We will not raise taxes on the American people," Boehner said simply, before he moved on to another topic.
But the speaker indicated that Republican leaders will aim for a balanced budget in even less time than the span proposed by Rep. Paul Ryan's budget plan, two to three decades.
"It's time for us to come to a plan that will in fact balance the budget over the next 10 years," Boehner said. "It's our commitment to the American people, and we hope the Senate will do their budget as they should have done over the last four years."

10 Most Beautiful Parts Of The Interactive "Moonrise Kingdom" Script

When it comes to Moonrise Kingdom, all we can say is this: Who doesn't love a story about a lovesick khaki scout out to win the heart of a troubled-Lolita-esque-klepto?
Yet, in spite of the fact that it was penned by director Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola, and stars badasses like Bruce Willis, the film only earned one Oscar nod in the form of Best Original Screenplay. That's right folks, just one nomination.
With that in mind, Focus Features released an interactive version of the script. Ya know, to remind us all of how awesome the film was. Let's explore the prettiest parts of this bonus treat, shall we?

Meet Flamy, The Terrifying Brazilian Burn Ward Mascot
“Chaminha,” or “Flamy,” is a Brazilian fire safety mascot that goes to elementary schools and hospitals and teaches children about the dangers of fire. He's also a little scary.
Source: i.imgur.com
The mascot has become the butt of a lot of jokes in Brazil. Here's an image macro from Brazilian meme site Kibe Loco:
Source: kibeloco.com.br
The above image reads: "This is Chaminha, the burn victim mascot in Minas Gerais he visits children who are burn victims... No one can burn as bad as a bad marketer."
Flamy is the mascot at the Fundaçao Hospitalar in Minas Gerais, which currently receives over 100 burn victims a day according to the blog of Brazlian writer Gabriel Diniz. And a major factor in many of their burn cases is flammable alcohol. A few hospitals in the Minas Gerais area are using Flamy to teach children about what to do with flammable material and how to treat burns if they receive them.
They've also pointed it out that the mascot looks a little like Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff.
