The United States consumes 25% of all the world’s energy.

Flying from London to New York by Concord, due to the time zones crossed, you can arrive 2 hours before you leave.

There is enough fuel in a full tank of a Jumbo Jet to drive an average car four times around the world.

The surface speed record on the moon is 10.56 miles per hour. It was set with the lunar rover.

If you could drive to the sun -- at 55 miles per hour -- it would take about 193 years

Did you know that a man racked up $81,039 in parking fines ?

NEW YORK, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- The New York City Department of Finance says a man racked up $81,039 in parking fines but the alleged offender denies the claims.

The department said Alexander Khamish, 30, has incurred 415 parking tickets since 2004 -- the largest amount of fines racked up by anyone during the period -- but the alleged serial offender contends the tickets resulted from identity theft, the New York Post reported Friday.

"Basically, someone registered (the offending) vehicles under my name," Khamish said. "I knew about this a couple years ago, but I didn't know it (involved an) $80,000 (debt).

"Someone did register vehicles under my name before I found out, but I was going back and forth with the DMV, and from the last I heard, I thought everything was OK."

Finance Department spokesman Owen Stone said Khamish's claims would be investigated.

"If it winds up his identity was stolen, he won't be responsible for the tickets," Stone said.

Did you know that Tuckruskye, 44 is charged with endangering the welfare of a 13-year-old boy

A Baldwin PTA official has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child after she and a 13-year-old boy were caught in the backseat of a vehicle parked behind an elementary school, Nassau police said.

Joan Tuckruskye, 44, of 1111 Steele Blvd., was in the backseat of a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder in a parking lot behind Meadow Elementary on Northern Boulevard with the boy Friday night, said Det. Lt. Kevin Smith.

Tuckruskye and the boy, who police did not identify, were naked from the waist down, Smith said.

Tuckruskye, a vice-president in charge of fundraising of the Baldwin Middle School parent-teacher association, was released without bail at her arraignment Saturday. She could not be reached last night.

First Precinct officers found the two after they approached the parked, running Pathfinder at about 10:30 p.m. Friday.

When officers asked for identification, the boy told them he was 18. He was taken to Nassau University Medical Center for an exam and it was determined he is 13, Smith said.

Tuckruskye told police the two were kissing, Smith said.

"Based on the investigation and the uncooperative nature of both the victim and the defendant, we were unable to establish anything more than the fact she was endangering the welfare of child," Smith said. "The obvious question is whether or not a sexual act took place." more

The FBI and the Justice Department operate "Innocence Lost," a federal initiative to combat sex crimes against children through domestic sex trafficking or child prostitution.
Innocence Lost has task forces set up in 23 cities around the country.
Miami was one of the first 13 cities assigned a task force, "not because of the weather, but it has one of the highest levels of juvenile prostitution in the country," said Sgt. Kelly Sullivan of the Metro Dade Police Department Innocence Lost Vice Task Force.
The FBI works with local law enforcement to plan stings targeting pimps and to rescue minors, but they also conduct "prostitution reversal stings" targeting the johns.
