Some excerpts from this news:

Monday, (Charles) Roberts (a 32 year old father of three) walked into the one-room school in the Pennsylvania countryside carrying two guns. He let the boys and adults leave, tied up 10 girls and shot them, and then shot himself to death, according to police.

"It appears that when he began shooting these victims, the victims were shot execution style in the head."

Roberts had walked into the one-room West Nickel Mines Amish School with a shotgun and handgun, then released about 15 boys, a pregnant woman and three other women with infants before barring the doors with the girls inside.

The girls were lined up along a blackboard.

"He had wire ties with him and flex ties, and he began to tie the girls' feet together,"

It was the nation's third deadly school shooting in a week, following the killing of a 16-year-old girl by a 53-year-old man in Bailey, Colorado, and the shooting death of a principal at a school in Madison, Wisconsin.

WTF. What a sicko psychopath! What possessed him to do such a thing, I just cannot comprehend. My gawd, the girls were only 6-13 years old, and did no wrong against him. This kinda shit things happen when you live in a nation which permits ownership of guns and weapons la. Shite.

Forget airbags, silicone breasts will do

Mon Oct 2, 2:11 PM ET (Yahoo News)

SOFIA (AFP) - A woman in the northern Bulgarian town of Ruse survived a car crash thanks to her silicone breasts which acted as an airbag, a newspaper has reported.

The 24-year-old ran through a red light and crashed her car into another vehicle at a busy

crossroad in the middle of town Saturday, the daily Standart said.

"The two cars were crumpled past recognition in the crash but the woman's silicone breasts acted as airbags and saved her life," Standart wrote, citing eyewitness reports.

But survival as well as beauty comes at a price as the woman burst her silicon implants in the crash.

Now what do you think of that? Silicone boobs as cushioning airbags!

And the most requested funeral song is...

LONDON (Reuters)

1 - "Goodbye My Lover" - James Blunt

2 - "Angels" - Robbie Williams

3 - "I've Had The Time Of My Life" - Jennifer Warnes and Bill Medley.

4 - "Wind Beneath My Wings" - Bette Midler

5 - "Pie Jesu" - Requiem

6 - "Candle In The Wind" - Elton John

7 - "With Or Without You" - U2

8 - "Tears In Heaven" - Eric Clapton

9 - "Every Breath You Take - The Police

10 -"Unchained Melody" - Righteous Brothers.

Songs like "Danny Boy" (number 11 in the list) tended to be played at the funerals of the elderly while S Club 7's "Reach For The Stars" (number 20) was more usual at children's funerals, the survey showed. Others in the top 20 included "Knocking On Heaven's Door" by Bob Dylan and, perhaps unexpectedly, Fame's "I Want To Live Forever."

Hmmm...what song would I like to be played at my funeral? Oops, choi! Tai kat lai see! (i.e. something like bad omen, have to spit back out what I said) Better think what song I would like to have for my wedding hehe...but then again, that's eons of years away. So no point thinking about it now also lah. But all the songs in the list above are very nice songs, in my opinion. Not necessary only best for funerals.

Yum yum. Savouring a peach crumble that I made just now to satisfy my craving Not the best mixture of crumble, coz I simply campur only, but I've got peaches to eat, so I don't care. I leave you with James Blunt's 'You're Beautiful', MadTV-style!
