COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - The most dangerous part of playing beer pong might not be drinking too much beer.
A group of Clemson University students tested pingpong balls used in games across campus one weekend last fall and discovered teeming bacteria.
In most versions of the game, players toss balls into glasses of beer, then chug the brews.
The research found that dangerous bacteria such as salmonella, listeria, E. coli and staph end up in the beer.
The research is part of Clemson's Creative Inquiry program, in which students pose common-sense scientific questions and plan research to find answers. Previous classes have debunked the five-second rule that food is safe to eat as long as it is quickly picked up after hitting the floor and shown that double-dipping chips can pose a health hazard.

(RNN) - Two explosions happened near the finish line of the Boston Marathon at about 2:50 p.m. ET Monday.
Jackie Bruno, a reporter for New England Cable News, tweeted there were "horrific" injuries at the site of the blast, including people with limbs missing.
Spectators for the race, held annually on Patriots Day, were rushed to medical tents for treatment following the blasts. CNN reported at least two people have critical injuries.
WBZ reported one of the explosions happened near the viewing stands on Boylston Street, and there were multiple injured people. Smoke could be seen rising feet from the marked finish line.
Reuters stated via Twitter a spokesman for the marathon said the headquarters have been locked down. A CNN producer reported members of the crowd were injured when a pair of explosions happened, and medics are on the scene giving assistance.
Josh Cox, the U.S. 50K record holder, tweeted for people not to go near the finish line after explosions in buildings along with a picture from nearby the scene.

tow the other way next time, Larry and I decided we are never going the 26 route again.
Do you have any suggestions for locations that would be good for the event, have a cheap trail fee, be close enough to convince 70 people from SC to go to, and have good trails for stock to wild?
and the past few years I have only gone to harlan once a year and its nice to make it the OSCAR trip.
