Minorities Minister AR Antulay's dramatic and baseless allegation suggesting that ATS chief Hemant Karkare was not killed by Pakistani terrorists who attacked Mumbai on December 26,2008, but was the victim of an inside job, is not a wild shot in the dark. 24 hours before he aired his views even as the Parliament was united in clearing the NIA and UAPA bills, he had told CNN-IBN that he apprehended

A mugger in America was arrested this week. The mugger not only robbed his victim but also took the time to lick her toes before making a quick getaway. Commander Kevin Clasp called the incident, in St. Paul, Minnesota, 'weird sexual behavior.' The incident occurred when a 24-year-old woman was leaving work around 1a.m. on Saturday. The suspect, a 27-year-old man, approached her and demanded her keys and phone. After that, instead of running away he took time out to remove her shoes and licked her toes. The woman was not hurt, police said but it was definitely a mistake on his behalf. Police arrested the man a few minutes later about four blocks away after he had stopped to be sick. The woman identified the suspect, and police were able to recover her keys and phone. The man was

Has Google Sightseeing captured two giant squid swimming near shore of Delray Beach, Florida or do the images just show the wake of two different boats? Click either images at the right for larger pictures.Giant squid are elusive and little is known about their biology and until recently most interactions were via individuals washed ashore or those found in the stomach of sperm whales. Some have been caught with fishing gear and videotape exists of a few encounters. During August, 2007 a small intact juvenile giant squid was found floating on the surface at “Marathon Hump, south of Marathon, Florida.” Several genera and species are associated with the common name “giant squid” and no doubt species unknown to science exist.

Never missing an opportunity to use the “torture card” to gain sympathy, Taliban members captured by Canadian troops and handed over to Afghan authorities say they have been tortured. (NO! Say it isn’t so!!!)
Three prisoners are claiming they were beaten with bricks and cables, given electric shocks, deprived of sleep and had their nails torn out.
The three said they had been captured by Canadian troops, given a document that said torture was no longer used in Afghanistan and then transferred to the Afghan secret police.
“The people from the secret service tore it (the document) up and threw it in my face. They tortured me for 20 hours. I protested and said the Canadians had promised that nothing would happen to me.”
“They replied: ‘We’re not in Canada, we’re at home. The Canadians are dogs!’” he said.
I know this is the time when we’re supposed to get misty eyed, demand answers, and condemn torture. But I’m
Brady Barr, the National Geographic Channel’s resident herpetologist, is wading waist-deep in a vile and viscous puree of bat guano in a cave in Indonesia when he is attacked by a 12-foot reticulated python. The snake wraps itself around his legs, sinks its razor-sharp teeth into his left thigh, shredding his flesh. Screams of excruciating pain echo off the cave’s walls.The footage is chilling.The attack will be broadcast on National Geographic Channel at 8 p.m. ET and PT on Saturday.Barr was on a remote island in Indonesia, far from civilization. He had to hike two miles uphill to a car to get to a rural clinic to get the wound properly cleaned and then travel even farther to get it stitched. Some 27 hours after the attack, he finally got to a modern medical center in Singapore, where he was pumped full of antibiotics and began a four-week series of shots to protect him against rabies.Indonesia News Blog: http://indosnesos.blogspot.com
If you have extreme fear for sharks, think again. You have actually not seen the most fearsome of all sharks! Brace yourself for the mighty and ghastly Frilled Shark.A frilled shark is no ordinary shark. It is prehistoric and has an exceptionally remarkable appearance.It is believe to take up the body shape of a dark brown or grey eel, except that the body has six-gill slits, which sharks would normally have. The reason behind the name of this unique creature is in the gill slits tissues that jut out from the slits. It has a massive body of two meters in length.It is an ancient creature and has probably thought to be extinct, but on 21 January 2007, the world was in for surprise when a frilled shark was discovered in the waters of Japan, specifically near the Awashima Marine Park, which is located in Shizuoka, southwest of Tokyo. It was a female frilled shark that was found by one of the staff working at the marine park. The 1.6 meter long shark was found to be ill, and afterwards was

Call it a bit of a "video killed the radio star" moment, circa 2007: John Curley, who had been a deputy managing editor of The San Francisco Chronicle, announced that he was let go from the newspaper by posting the news on Flickr, the photo-sharing Web site."I leave with great sadness, but not a trace of bitterness," Curley wrote in his entry on Tuesday, which included a picture of his desk at the newspaper before he packed. "We all know what is happening to the newspaper industry, and it is not pretty." One of the biggest things happening to the newspaper industry is that people are flocking to Web sites like Flickr, which is owned by Yahoo, for news, gossip and friendship, and turning to newsprint less often. Even Flickr, once primarily a site for swapping images, has become more of an online community: in this case, dozens of people turned out to post comments of solidarity on Curley's page."Off you go to something greater, man," wrote someone who calls himself Razorbern and uses a
