| Get Gassed Israeli entrepreneurs reportedly have developed a beer that contains laughing gas. CNN reported Sunday that two Israeli chemical engineers have come up with a way of incorporating nitrous oxide into an imported Czech beer, obtained Health Ministry approval and plan to start selling the product once it is patented.

The entrepreneurs also plan to market a similar hybrid vodka. The projects elicited censure from Israel's Anti-Drug Authority, which noted that laughing gas is a controlled substance.
