Debate Of The Week

What animal has the most powerful bite?

National Geographic reports that most powerful ever recorded is that of a saltwater crocodile at  3,700 pounds per square inch. 

Computer simulations, however, put the bite of a great white shark at 4000 psi.
We await the courageous soul who will resolve this.
For those interested, the bite of man tops at 200 psi. Lions and tigers reach 1,000 psi.
Pit bulls surprisingly reach just 235 psi significantly less that that of dog-bite champ the rottweiler which clamps down at 328 psi.

Caylee’s Bills Now Before Pa. Senate

The State House sent to the Senate last two measures aimed at further protecting the safety and welfare of children in Pennsylvania, reports State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129) 

House Bill 1841 would strengthen the penalties against someone who makes false reports to police during a criminal investigation involving a child. House Bill 1842 would strengthen the penalties for the crime of concealing the death of a child. 

Both bills would upgrade the respective offenses to third-degree felonies and increase the maximum penalties to seven years in prison and a $15,000 fine. The law would apply to a natural parent, stepparent, adoptive parent, guardian or an individual involved in an intimate relationship with the child’s parent. A person responsible for a child’s welfare, such as a babysitter, teacher or coach, would also be subject to the law. 

The measures were introduced in response to the recent Caylee Anthony homicide case in Florida, and together are known as “Caylee’s Law.”
