Just Sayin'

Horrifying headlines are growing in number:

Girl's twin found inside her stomach
Two-faced baby worshipped
Beheaded man begged for help before death

If you're lucky, there might be the added bonus of the camera icon following the headline like this:

3-year-old shoots herself in head

Who clicks on these videos?

World's Smallest Girl


At just 1 foot, 11 inches tall, Jyoti Amge is 15 years old, yet she is dwarfed by babies (picture on left) and WAY dwarfed by her classmates (on right).


She has recently recorded an album with her favourite Indian pop star, Mika Singh.

And words fail me now.

Reasons to Love the French

Only weather has previously succeeded in snuffing out the Olympic flame, just twice in its history. Today French officials managed it three times.

The Olympic flame has travelled on the Concorde, a Native American canoe and a camel. Before Sydney 2000, divers even swam past the Great Barrier Reef with a scientifically advanced waterproof version. Keeping the torch lit on its travels is the responsibility of “flame attendants” who accompany the fire 24 hours a day.

Now the Olympic Torch is apparently using public transportation to avoid the massive protests against China's human rights record. French officials extinguished it for "technical reasons," and according to CNN, "The torch was snuffed out, put on a bus and fired up again several times to dodge protesters."

The French probably used the unscheduled respite to have a smoke and a coffee.

Words Can Not Describe

Fan blog extraordinaire: All Things Anderson

Just Sayin'

In an article in the NYT, it's reported that bloggers are dying at their keyboards because of the stress of keeping up with their blogs.

"Two weeks ago in North Lauderdale, Fla., funeral services were held for Russell Shaw, a prolific blogger on technology subjects who died at 60 of a heart attack. In December, another tech blogger, Marc Orchant, died at 50 of a massive coronary. A third, Om Malik, 41, survived a heart attack in December.

Other bloggers complain of weight loss or gain, sleep disorders, exhaustion and other maladies born of the nonstop strain of producing for a news and information cycle that is as always-on as the Internet."

Pussies!

Ze Punishment for Ze Nazi Sex Scandal

Max Mosley, president of the body that governs Formula One racing, is under increasing pressure to resign following revelations of a sex scandal involving prostitutes, sadomasochism and alleged Nazi-style role-play.

Placed in chains, Mosley leans over a torture bench and whimpers as a dominatrix strikes him with a rod, saying "You're going to be shown how we treat prisoners in our facility." Later, when Mosley takes hold of a whip, he says that a blonde inmate "needs more of ze punishment."

According to the article in Time, Mosley admits to participating in the orgy, but denies that his fantasy had any Nazi or concentration-camp connotation. He spoke German, he said, simply because it was the native language of the women involved in the erotic rendezvous.
