I couldn't believe this one. Apparently a gang of armed thugs got together and beat a hippo to death at a zoo. Who would even think up such a thing, not to speak of actually doing it?

"
He had multiple wounds or bruising over much of his body, including his feet, neck, face, and even inside of his mouth, which likely occurred as he tried to defend himself, said zoo director Vladen Henríquez.

Officials believe he was attacked with rocks, metal bars, knives and an ice pick."

 

This one, too. The guy goes on a shooting rampage thinking he's killing Iranians and was really killing Indians. Must make the families of the deceased feel SO much better.

I would understand completely if the hippo was rampaging in some villiage and people were afraid for their lives, but to band together and attack an animal in a ZOO???? It really is insane.

 

So a 66 year old man is on a plane from Las Vegas to Hawaii arguing with the flight attendant that he shouldn't have to pay 12$ for a blanket. The staff decides he's dangerous, dumps $12,000 dollars of fuel in to the ocean, and turns around and lands in Los Angeles, where the passenger takes another plane to Hawaii.

Is our country an insane asylum? I'd bet if you polled the passengers, they would have given the poor guy a blanket rather than spending 6 more hours of their vacation in an airplane, and you'd think the airline would rather give him a $12 dollar blanket than pay for $12000 in fuel, the staff's salaries, etc. You'd think someone would care about the effects of dumping all that gas in to the ocean, or even that if this man was such a risk he would be arrested on arrival in L.A. and not allowed to get on the next plane to Hawaii.

What a colossal waste.

LOL, what they should have done was have the pilot announce they were going to turn the plane around because this man wanted a blanket and Hawaiin Air wasn't going to give it to him for free and let the passengers sort out the best course of action.

Not crazy, just sad, like the death of the giant redwood recently. Malta's "Azure Window" slid in to the ocean during a big storm.

In a Canadian ICU a patient who was pronounced dead continued to have measurable brain activity for 10 minutes and 38 seconds. a short vid saying basically that:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/...vity-can-continue-10-minutes-death-new-study/

The human brain can continue functioning for more than 10 minutes after the body has died, scientists have discovered.

Intensive care doctors reported observing the same kind of brain waves in a patient whose pulse had stopped and whose pupils were unreactive as occurs during deep sleep in healthy people.

Researchers had previously thought that brain activity ends before or shortly after the heart stops beating, although two studies last year demonstrated that genes continue to function, in some cases more energetically, in the days after people die.


Is it.... the beginning of the zombie apocalypse? Or just a really good reason to not be in agony when you die?

 

I agree with him too, it's outrageous. And if the guy was that upset, one would think the flight attendant would have walked up to first class, taken an extra blanket from someone's seat that wasn't using it, and given it to him. What their response was? Crazy.

 

How many 11 year-old boys have a 13 year old girlfriend, or have or even want a girlfriend at all at that age? This is a truly terrible thing, I can't imagine how it ended up the way it did, or where it even started from.

"Tysen Benz was in his room when he read text messages saying someone he knew had committed suicide.

Shortly after, the 11-year-old boy from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula hanged himself.

Now, a 13-year-old girl is facing criminal charges in connection to his death. Marquette County Prosecuting Attorney Matt Wiese said the girl posed as someone else when she was texting with Tysen and faked her own death. And the boy, for reasons still unclear, believed it and killed himself within two hours of receiving the messages, Wiese said.

Wiese said he could not confirm the relationship between Tysen and the girl, but media reports say she was his girlfriend."

This country is really going to Hell in a handbasket.
