Guns Don't Kill People - Breasts Do

Here's a newsy headline I don't expect to see often.  However, it turns it that other women around the world HAVE indeed used their boobs as weapons.  I wonder what forensic science will make of this method?  A very strange news item for sure.

"A Washington woman is accused of using her breasts to smother and kill her boyfriend after an altercation at their mobile home.

...witnesses claim they saw Lange throw her boyfriend down in the back of the mobile home. She was later found by witnesses with her chest covering the victim's face. Police noted the size difference between Lange and her boyfriend -- she was 5-feet, 6-inches and 192 pounds, he was 5-feet, 7-inches and 175 pounds."

Sandy Hook Shootings: Paying Forward Acts of Kindness Inspired by Tragedy

Sandy Hook Generates Acts of Kindness

We are asked to commit 26 Random Acts of Kindness in honor of the recent murders there.

Some of the Sandy Hook victims:

"While the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School have no doubt left the nation shaken, they have also inspired an outpouring of acts of kindness from across the nation and around the world.

The central hub of many of these is on display in the U.S. Post Office in Newtown, Conn., a community shaken by the killing of 20 children and six school staff members by 20-year-old Adam Lanza, who also killed his mother and shot himself.

Mountains of mail and packages are flowing in from all over the world. Some are simply addressed to "Newtown" or specific families who lost people in the shootings. They're coming with return addresses ranging from Idaho to Virginia Beach and far beyond."

In the wake of this horrible tragedy, we are offered the opportunity to pay it forward to help ease the pain.

Flashback 2012: Hottest smartphones and tablets of the year

Best-selling smartphones and tablets of 2012

Okay, me hearties, are you doing post-Christmas shopping for your tech devices?  Here's the best-sellers of the day.

"The year 2012 is about to end (and we don’t mean the end of the world like many predicted) and what a year it has been! In a way, it was a make-or-break year for a number of technology giants. The year saw the humbling of the Finnish handset-maker Nokia and the rise of Samsung. It also saw RIM’s BlackBerry handsets go out of fashion and Apple’s new iPhone getting negative reviews (probably for the first time) for its lack of design brilliance. Then there was the famous patent war between Apple and Samsung, and we can see even more legal battles in the coming year.However, in this quick recap, we will bring you all the smartphones and tablets that rocked 2012."

Not only does this article take on 2012, but it makes some predictions about what's coming in 2013.
