The most weird or stupid news story you heard today.

It strikes me as some much more tragic than disgusting although incest certainly is icky.

It's hard to thing of something that would mess with your head anymore than the circumstances described.

I'm not sure if what I'm about to say is real information or more something I learned in a Law and Order ripped from the headlines kind of way, but isn't there concern about this happening with the half-sibling children of the same anonymous sperm donor. Don't they have limits on the number of times a particular donor can be used so there's not like 100 kids with the same dad in one city who don't realize they are related?

To both questions: Yes.
He seems to be in it for the PR.
And he is faulting ESB for everything. From not stopping him from getting to position to stopping him from jumping.
Seems to want to have it everyway possible.

Rapist Who Preyed on Men Gets 99 Years
Date: Thursday, January 17, 2008
By: Associated Press

HOUSTON - (AP) A man convicted this week of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old boy at gunpoint was sentenced to 99 years in prison Thursday after he apologized for that attack and the rapes of four other young men.

In a written statement read in court, Keith Hill also said he decided to assault men rather than women because "it would be less hard on them."

Hill, 20, was convicted Tuesday of assaulting one of five young men he had confessed to raping during an eight-month spree in 2006 in Baytown.

Earlier, the defense had disputed his confession to police, but in the trial's punishment phase Hill said he deeply regrets the attacks and hopes his victims "find it in their heart to forgive me."

"It would not happen if I did not have mental issues," Hill said. He added that he had prayed to both God and the devil for instruction.

Meatloaf The Cat Comes Home

Feline Stuck In Shipping Crate For 3 Weeks


POSTED: 9:08 am EST February 28, 2008
UPDATED: 10:28 am EST February 28, 2008

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- After a three-week cross-country trip, Meatloaf the cat arrived at Fort Lauderdale International Airport Wednesday. And the cat probably learned a lesson that being curious comes with a price.

"I was pretty shocked. I didn’t think it was him,” said Amanda Kaufman, Meatloaf’s mom. “But it was him and he’s happy to be home.”

Kaufman was happy to once again hold her 1-year-old cat after the feline took a trip on the dark side. Meatloaf somehow got stuck inside a storage crate in Pompano Beach. That shipping pod ended up in Phoenix, Ariz.
An employee at the storage warehouse in Phoenix heard the cat meow. The worker unlocked the crate and Meatloaf took off running. Workers were able to trace the pod back to Pompano Beach where Kaufman was standing by the phone.
“After the first couple of days we were getting very worried,” said Meatloaf’s uncle, Daniel Kaufman. “We thought he was in someone’s home.”
Somehow the cat was able to survive without food or water the entire three-weeks he was stuck in side the pod.
This isn’t the first time Meatloaf has disappeared from home. In fact, he is known for taking hourly trips away from home.
The Humane Society of Phoenix put a tracking chip in Meatloaf so in case he gets lost again, someone will be able to track him down.

Is it wrong that I felt a strange sense of relief when I read this that (a) they were female and (b) that they were adults???

None of that justifies hoping someone gets murdered.
