Bath Salts Caused Miami Zombie Attack

Most Photos Of The Attack Are Far Too Gruesome For My Blog

A shocking story emerged three days ago.  A naked man was found on top of another naked man, eating the victim’s face in what has been dubbed a “zombie attack.”  Police shot and killed the attacker, who has been revealed to have been 31 year-old Rudy Eugene, a former football player.  Both men are believed to have been homeless at the time of the attack.

Doctors are positive Eugene was on “bath salts”, a new type of LSD, at the time.  The drugs give a person almost super-human strength, but also make the person feel extremely hot, likely why Eugene was naked.  The victim, who has not been identified, had 75% of his face chewed off in the most gruesome attack possible.  Virtually all that is left of his face is his right eye, and goatee.

Facebook Phone To Be Released Next Year

Facebook’s Stock Market Slump May Have Also Caused The Decision

Facebook will release their own smartphone next year, according to The New York Times.  The company has reportedly been hiring smartphone developers, and will look to rival popular smartphone companies, such as Apple and HTC.  The company started on the project in 2010, but that plan fell through, and a new one has just begun.

Facebook has been struggling to get money from its mobile users.  The company is looking to diversify, as it also recently launched an app store, and an employee was cited as saying, “worried that if he doesn’t create a mobile phone in the near future… Facebook will simply become an app on other mobile platforms.”

Anti-Government Protests In Morocco

It Is The Biggest Protest In Morocco Since Arab Spring

The streets of Casablanca, Morocco have been filled with tens of thousands of angry anti-government protesters.  They accuse Prime Minister Abdelilah Benki of not fulfilling his campaign promises.  PM Benki was elected in November, and promised to fix the high unemployment.

Morocco was one of the first countries to experience Arab Spring last year, but King Mohammed VI held off the protesters by losing some of his power, and promising reforms.  So far neither his promises, nor the Prime Minister’s, have come to fruition, and the Moroccans are getting angry once again.

Butler Charged In Vatican Leaks

Paolo Gabriele With Pope Benedict XVI

It sounds cliche to say the butler was behind the crime.  But for once, it is true in real life.  46 year-old Paolo Gabriele has been charged in connection with a series of media leaks.  Gabriele is Pope Benedict XVI’s personal butler, and has access to his private apartments, one of only a few behind to have this privilege.

Last month, a series of confidential information was leaked to the media. These were dubbed “Vatileaks” by the media.  It revealed mismanagement and corruption in the Vatican.  The Pope set up a commission made up of cardinals to find the source of the leaks.  It appears that this time, it really was the butler.

Egyptian Election Vote Count Ends

The Two Candidates: Mohammed Mursi and Ahmed Shafiq

The first round of the first Egyptian presidential elections since the Arab Spring has ended.  Mohammed Mursi, of the radical Muslim Brotherhood, won with 25% of the vote.  He will now face former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq in a run-off.  Shafiq is widely hated, as he was the last prime minister to serve under former-leader Hosni Mubarak, who was ousted in the Arab Spring last year.

The momentum and support appears to be behind Mursi.  But, a Muslim Brotherhood controlled-Egypt could be extremely bad for the rest of the world.  The organization makes no attempt to hide the fact that it wants to “kill all Jews,” and has a hatred for the Western world.

Confession In Etan Patz Case

Tomorrow Will Be The Anniversary of Etan Patz’s Disappearance.

A man has confessed to killing 6 year-old Etan Patz 33 years ago, in one of the most famous unsolved murder cases.  Pedro Hernandez, from New Jersey, told New York police officers that he choked Etan to death and left his body in a bag on the side of the street, back in 1979.

New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told reporters, “We believe that this is the individual responsible for the crime.”  Etan Patz went missing when he walked to his school bus stop for the first time.  He became one of the first children to appear on a milk carton asking for information to his disappearance.

LiquiGlide Solves “The Ketchup Problem”

A team of MIT researchers have created LiquiGlide – a substance that can be applied to the inside of bottles, both plastic and glass.  This allows you to get all the ketchup, mayonnaise, or whatever else is in the bottle.  No more squeeze bottles trapping the last of your sauce.  LiquiGlide is also completely safe, according to the team.

It is estimated that 1 million tons of food is wasted a year because of what gets stuck inside the bottle.  Additionally, the bottled sauce business alone is worth $7 billion.  Add this up, and it means massive money is behind LiquiGlide if it is as successful as it looks.

SpaceX Launch Marks “New Era”

The Falcon 9 Rocket Blasts Off From Cape Canaveral, Florida

SpaceX has become the first private company to successfully launch a cargo delivery, headed for the Space Station.  Charles Bolden, the administrator of NASA, said, “Today marks the beginning of a new era in space exploration.”  The Falcon 9 rocket, topped with a Dragon capsule, is carrying high hopes, as the future of space exploration in the US will have to be private, since NASA has had its funding cut dramatically.

Fittingly, the unmanned Dragon rocket carried the ashes of actor James Doohan, who famously played Scotty on the 1960s television series of Star Trek.  This has led many to claim, “Scotty has finally been beamed up.”

Three Die After Mount Everest Traffic Jam

Mount Everest Has Claimed Hundreds Of Victims Over The Years

Three climbers have died on the world’s tallest mountain – Mount Everest.  There was a “traffic jam” near the top of the mountain, and conditions worsened with a storm making conditions extremely windy.  The three who died were a Canadian, a South Korean, and a German.  All three were working with different expeditions.

Over 300 climbers have been granted permission to climb the mountain from the Nepalese government this climbing season, representing 33 nationalities.  This number doesn’t even include local Nepalis, who assist in many of the climbs.  While it has become easier to climb the mountain, it is still estimated that 1 in 10 climbs ends in a death.

Chelsea Win First Champions League Trophy

Chelsea finally became the champions of Europe after defeating Bayern Munich on penalties.  The first half ended goalless as Bayern dominated, but missed numerous chances, most notable from Mario Gomez.  Thomas Muller finally scored what seemed to be the winner for the German club, in the 83rd minute.  But, Didier Drogba equalized five minutes later, and sent the match into extra time.

Bayern, playing in their home stadium, had a penalty in the first half of extra time, but Chelsea goalie Petr Chech was the hero, as he crucially saved it.  Fittingly, it was Drogba, in possibly his last match for Chelsea, who scored the winning penalty, finally allowing Chelsea to win the “holy grail” of club soccer.
