Pictures, photos, carricatures, and stories of breaking news people are talking about.
The story wouldn't be so sad but for pictures.
Not only bridges, but buildings collapse every now and then. The world lost a new building 2 hours ago ... as well as 20 people. ... Two more pictures are by the link (click on the photo)
Could you guess who is in the picture?
A rat? A cat? A mouse?
The answer follows in a day. I will pay 10 bucks to the author of the first right answer ;)
Hey, have you ever been to a Fringe Festival in Scotland? I think you should, especially if you are man - looks interesting. (someone give them a cloth!)
But be sure to come closer to the end of the festival, the beginning is full of frogs, not girls. The festival is still on, don't forget the camera!
In case you follow Hurricane Dean, here's a report in pictures. I think photos are daily updated.
Please note that Hurricane Dean is the fourth named storm, third tropical cyclone, first hurricane and first major hurricane of the 2007 Atlantic hurricane season, the most intense tropical cyclone in the Atlantic Basin since Hurricane Wilma of 2005 and the most intense tropical cyclone to threaten Jamaica since Hurricane Ivan of 2004. A Cape Verde-type hurricane, Dean took a west-northwest path through the Caribbean Sea and passed just to the south of Jamaica on August 20. It is currently forecast to affect the Yucatán Peninsula.

Be safe if you are somewhere there.
How could anyone do this on purpose I wonder? (8 more photos are available if you click a picture)
If you don't know yet, a Greek prosecutor charged a man Saturday with starting a forest fire on Mt. Penteli that destroyed dozens of homes and large swathes of forest land north of Athens last week.
The 57-year-old man, who was not identified by name, pleaded innocent to the charges of arson and endangering lives, saying he had been in a cafe when the fire broke out, according to police.
I watched a 'FBI Files' on Discovery Channel. There was a story when a man kidnapped a woman because he wanted to be loved by her. He raped her several times and he was going to kill her ("Either you love me or I kill you"), but the police made their best and the woman was saved.
This story remind me of another that appeared once on NoComment News. Cece's story (she lives in Uganda) is tragic in every way. Her husband came home and killed her mother [his mother-in-law] and beat her to the point of losing her eyesight. The husband was killed from mob retaliation [mob justice] within their village. She found out later that her husband infected her with HIV and she is left blind, widowed with four kids. (the story is showed and told by Elton )
Was it love as well, I wonder?
Artist Nancy Hiss is creating an art work that consists of drawing the names of all dead coalition men and women. The names thread their way through the fabric of Portland OR. Only last names will be listed to honor the sacrifice of individuals & their families.
As you reflect on these names also remember the hundreds of thousands of nameless Iraqis and others who have been scarred by this war.
I wonder, how long will be the line of the names? 10 km? 20 km? More? Less?
