  Voodoo Doughnut Suspends Infamous Food Challenge After Denver Man’s Death
  
  For years (as early as 2012), Oregon-based Voodoo Doughnut has challenged guests to down a half a pound doughnut in less than 80 seconds in exchange for bragging rights, a free meal, and other swag. In the early hours on Sunday, April 2, that challenge was taken on by 42 year old Travis Malouff who began choking on the doughnut and soon thereafter died of asphyxia, due to obstruction of the airway. Following the tragic incident that happened at the East Colfax location of the company, Voodoo Doughnut announced that it has suspended the challenge at all seven locations.

First Lady Portraits Have Changed a Ton Over the Past 92 Years

The White House has just released Melania Trump's official portrait. Her photo is in stark contrast to Michelle Obama's, which was a pulled back image that - controversially, at the time - prominently featured Michelle's toned arms. Melania's photo seems to take inspiration from Nancy Reagan's portrait, which features a similar background, and both are wearing tie-neck styles. From Melania Trump to Grace Coolidge take at FLOTUS portraits over the past 92 years.

  Catch Me if You Can copycat caught smuggling $85k of cocaine
  
  A man who may have taken inspiration from Leonardo DiCaprio in the hit film Catch Me if You Can has been caught attempting to smuggle $85,000 of cocaine by US officials. Mario Hudson was travelling to New York's John F Kennedy International Airport from Kingston, Jamaica on 27 March when he was intercepted by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers. During the baggage inspection, the customs officers discovered that Hudson had what appeared to be two fraudulent Delta Airlines ID badges.

Trump Administration Adds Teeth to H-1B Visa Rules

The government is taking aim once again at the H-1B, the tech industry's most-coveted visa system. The H-1B is a three-year nonimmigrant visa that allows companies to hire specialized foreign labor. It has drawn the criticism of President Donald Trump, however, who claims that it has allowed U.S. companies to hire foreign workers at the expense of American jobs. Businesses, in theory, are supposed to use the H-1B system only if an American doesn't have the skills necessary to fulfill the role in question, though many say this isn't the case. In a statement issued Wednesday, the Department of Labor announced plans to crack down on the program. It says it will work with federal agencies to investigate

  A massive asteroid is going to zip past Earth later this month
  
  The universe never lets us here on Earth go very long before reminding us that we're really just a random dice roll away from global catastrophe. The next timely reminder will happen on April 19th when asteroid 2014 JO25 will cruise by our planet at a relatively safe distance of roughly 1.1 million miles. That distance, while relatively comfortable, is still pretty close, especially when you realize how large the rock actually is. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory describes 2014 JO25 as being approximately 2,000 feet wide, or about 650 meters across, which is a little more than two-fifths of a mile. That's a pretty large chunk of rock, and NASA says it's the largest asteroid to come that close to Earth since 2004, with the next similar flyby predicted to occur in 2027 when asteroid 1999 AN10, measured at about a half mile in width, makes an appearance at a distance of 236,000 miles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cItnmeZGxZM For a few nights following April 19th, amateur astronomers may be able to catch a glimpse of 2014 JO25 thanks to it gaining brightness, though it will still be somewhat difficult to spot. This particular asteroid isn't expected to come this close to our planet again for another 500 years or more. April 19th will also mark the appearance of a comet for some star gazers who happen to live in the right place. Comet PanSTARSS (C/2015 ER61) will be at its nearest point to Earth that day, though it'll still be a very distant 109 million miles away. Having gained a lot of brightness since its discovery in 2015, the comet can now be seen with binoculars at specific times of the day.
