Hmm, an Israeli soldier, or at least someone who had been in the Army but looks like he deserted a few weeks ago, shot up a bus in an Israeli Arab town, killing four, wounding twelve, and getting himself lynched when he ran out of ammunition. And it is good to see the Israeli politicians saying that a Jewish shooter is as much a terrorist as the Palestinians. The pundits are predicting that there will be more nutters shooting people to try and stop the pull out from Gaza. Hmm.
The Russian Navy is trying to lift a submersible diving vessel from the bottom of the ocean off the Kamatcha peninsula (that bit of land above Sakhalin and Japan) that apparently got tangled with a fishing net 190m down. The US Pacific Fleet have been asked for assistance in getting it up, and apparently the seven crew have enough air for 'several days'. Shades of the Kursk disaster anyone?
Hmm, the perfect storm? Icky icky movie, in both topic and ending, but the Naval Research Laboratory had a sensor reading from Hurricane Ivan last year, yes one of those that devastated Florida, of a 91 foot wave. Safely for humankind way out in the Gulf of Mexico, but as tall as a ten story building. And why does the United States continue to persist with the imperial measurements, it's 27.7 metres dammit LOL.
This is an interesting one (as opposed to all the other tosh I post LOL) - scientists have developed a test for chemicals that are only created when cocaine is metabolised. They tested the Po River in northern Italy, and what they found was evidence of usage three times higher than official estimates. Have an old Eric Clapton song bouncing around my head now, and no, it's not Tears in Heaven.
It seems that every eighteen months or so there is a random and gory racist attack in Britain on young black men. The latest was in Liverpool, the death of Anthony Walker, who seemed a nice enough young man, A levels, devout Christian, talented athlete, whose only 'mistake', if the word deserves usage, was to have a white girlfriend. He even walked away from the confrontation initially. Before an axe was put in his head.
Two men are already facing charges, and five others are on bail, pending further investigation. Three of the seven are eighteen or younger. What on earth possesses ANYONE to just put an axe into someone's head, and ruin any future they and their victim could have had?
Enough for now methinks
