after decapitating her own child and eating his brains. Yeah, that's normal.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- The scene was so gruesome investigators could barely speak: A 3 1/2-week-old boy lay dismembered in the bedroom of a single-story house, three of his tiny toes chewed off, his face torn away, his head severed and his brains ripped out.
Officers called to the home early Sunday found the boy's mother, Otty Sanchez, sitting on the couch with a self-inflicted wound to her chest and her throat partially slashed, screaming "I killed my baby! I killed my baby!" police said. She told officers the devil made her do it, police said.
So I lied about the fit of joy. It was really because her nurse visits stopped.
A MENTALLY ill Tasmanian woman used her fingers to pull her eye out of its socket, causing horrific trauma that nearly killed her.
The 35-year-old woman's distraught mother told The Mercury the level of care offered to sufferers of mental illness was severely lacking and was to blame for her daughter's near-fatal breakdown. The daughter cannot be named for legal reasons. Her mother feared her daughter was going to die after she was ill for several weeks and refused to take her medication.
She said she felt helpless to do anything for her daughter, who suffered schizophrenia. "She has suffered from this illness since she was diagnosed as a teenager but we have been able to keep it under control with medication and through her doctors," she said. "But she used to get community nurses visiting her at her home to ensure she was taking her medication.
"That is what failed here and there was nothing I could do about it. "No amount of pleading with the case workers could get them to do anything about my daughter not taking her medication."
The daughter was eventually admitted to the psychiatric ward of the Royal Hobart Hospital where her health continued to decline and where she caused the injury to her eye. The injuries resulted in massive internal bleeding and she was placed on a life-support system. Although she also suffered a stroke during her ordeal, the daughter is now starting to rebuild her life. The Health Department confirmed an investigation was being conducted into the circumstances surrounding the woman.
Taken = Bourne + Comando in a very underated action movie
When an a movie makes you wish the lead actor played the lead in every other movie in the same drama, then perhaps that movie (and of course the actor) is just a little bit better than its peers. In Taken, Liam Neeson plays a grizzled, retired special agent Bryan Mills who's daughter and her ditzy whore of a friend go off to travel in grand ol Paris. Why Paris you say? Well obviously to waste money and get boozed up with in a foreign country because thats impossible to do in America when you're a rich white teen, duuuuh. Good times right? Well yeah, untill they get off the plane and are immediately conned and kidnapped into an Albanian run sex ring.
Fortunately for us, these Albanians picked the wrong hot teens to F with, because Special Agent Bryan Mills has "a very particular set of skills, skills he has required from a very long career. Skills that make him a nightmare for people like you...". Its these skills that have him car chasing, torturing, and kicking ass by the dozens at a time all over Paris in order to save his daughter and consequently take down the entire sex slave ring. You know how this is going to end of course, but Mills maims and kills with the ferocity of Jason Bourne and the cool confidence of James Bond (without the gadgets nor the lame heart broken pussy side). The film itself is fast paced and smart even if its not a very original idea but because of the non stop action and the 1.5 hour length, its really over before you know it and you're even left wanting more which is always ideal. As usual, its the great Liam Neeson's film and his performance brings the heat and yet he's always as cool as a 50's noir detective. One thing as you watch it, and I highly suggest you do, try not to think about how good the Bourne, Bond, Batman, and every other super hero/action movie franchise would be if Liam played the lead. It'll just bum you out.
Afrojacks Rating: 5/5 maimed albanian sex slave kidnappers.
Just try and call famed astronaut Buzz Aldrin a coward and a liar. You better be ready to catch a beating because that old guy doesn't F around. He'll expose that glass jaw in a heart beat.

"If you want to see one of the most affecting instances of documentary journalism since Let Us Now Praise Famous Men—James Agee and Walker Evans’ famous book, by turns lyrical and dispassionate, about white sharecroppers living through the Depression—go to interviewproject.davidlynch.com. That’s right. David Lynch, the creative force behind bare-knuckle surrealist films like Wild at Heart, Mulholland Drive, and his masterpiece Blue Velvet, as well as the equally weird and original Twin Peaks television series."
Lynch’s Interview Project is like the elementary materials of his movies before they become fictions. He describes it as “a 20,000-mile road trip over 70 days across and back the United States,” although so far most of the eventual-121 interviews on the site are with people who live in the Southwest. His subjects are never doctors or lawyers, poets or novelists, accountants or professors. They are always people with what more sophisticated types like to call “humble” lives, or sometimes with lives that are hard and anguished, too storm-tossed to be merely humble. They are mostly older white men, with a few older white women and a handful of younger (white) men appearing here and there. They are the sort of people that every four years spring into the minds of pundits and commentators as riddles to be solved, and then disappear from the commentariat’s consciousness until they return in conundrum form four years later.
When a Nerd dies and no one cares, does he really die?
HUDSON, OHIO (The Borowitz Report) -- A rabid Harry Potter fan took his life yesterday after inadvertently learning a plot spoiler from the soon-to-be-released J.K. Rowling movie, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." ??
Jude Ralston, 32, of Hudson, Ohio left a suicide note indicating that since overhearing the plot spoiler at a shopping mall earlier in the day, "I no longer have a reason to live." ??
Family and friends who gathered for a candlelight memorial outside Mr. Ralston's house remembered a man who seemed to live only for Harry Potter - and wondered if they could have done anything to prevent his tragic fate. ??
"When Jude got that vanity license plate that said 'Hogwarts,' that seemed harmless enough," said Polly Clovis, who attended Model U.N. with Mr. Ralston while the two were in high school. "But when he started wearing that wizard hat around town, we really should have seen that as a cry for help." ??
Editors note: I disagree with the above statement. I've been wearing my Darth Vader helmet around town whenever I leave my parent's house for years and I'm completely fine.
For 500 years, worshippers at a Muslim shrine in western India have continued the tradition -- a rite considered to bring good health and good luck to the children. The infants land and bounce on a bed-sheet held taut by men 50 feet below, and are quickly passed through the crowd to their mothers. Villagers say no babies have been injured during the ritual, which is practiced by Muslims and Hindus in Musti village in the district of Solapur, in the state of Maharashtra.
I actually think she did a pretty good job all things considered
An East Bay woman was recovering Wednesday following corrective surgery after she attempted to perform plastic surgery on her own face. Her doctor said the tough economy and the easy availability of supplies online has caused an uptick in the potentially disfiguring practice. The woman, who asked that we not reveal her name is 54, a mother of three, with a career in the public eye.
She said that after a visit to a plastic surgeon, she went online and bought a vial of liquid silicone for ten dollars, then injected it into her lips and cheek four weeks ago.“Insane. I can't believe I did what I did,” she said. “I thought I was going to be happy with the results, then the next day, my face became very inflamed, very red, swollen.”Plastic surgeon Steven Williams said the economy and the notion that plastic surgery is somehow foolproof has contributed to a recent rise in self-performed plastic surgeries.“We've noticed an uptick in people trying to do things like this at home,” said Williams.
“And having problems, and [then] having to come in and see us.”On Wednesday, she underwent surgery to try to correct the horrifying result.Dr. Williams says this corrective procedure is more complicated than you might think. Because they’re not sure what was injected, the process requires more than just simply sucking out the bad silicone.“It's not something you can just draw out,” said Williams. “You actually have to go in surgically and cut it out. We don't know what this material is and it is actively causing serious problems for her.”He said clearing all the material out may require several more surgeries. His patient said she hopes speaking out about her experience might make others consider the potential consequences before self-administering silicone or other substances.
