Wierd man stabs himself to avoid work...why not just call in sick?


Aaron Siebers a 29 year old man eneded up telling cops that he stabbed himself in the leg to avoid work at blockbuster's. Siebers showed up at Blockbuster Monday night with a deep leg wound and several minor slashes on his face and stomach. He accused a Hispanic trio, clad in all-black, of robbing him and then stabbing him outside the local Target. Police searched for the trio with search dogs to find the criminals. Meanwhile, Siebers was rushed to Saint Anthony’s hospital and received several stitches to seal up his wound. Investigators reviewed the surveillance cameras at Target – the apparent scene of the crime – but found that no such attack had taken place. Although the stabbing got Aaron out of work, it sent him right to jail.http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2009/11/05/2009-11-05_blockbuster_employee_aaron_seibers_stabs_himself_in_the_leg_to_avoid_going_to_wo.html

5,000-8,000 teens commit suicides yearly...but the question still remains...Why?

Well, the teen years are some of the hardest years one can go through. you are maturing and growing up, and  parents don't treat you differently. Hormones are raging, and body is changing and sometimes you don't know how to deal with that. many teens think they are so alone in everything. They think there's no future left for them nor is there any hope in there futues. There not sure how to deal with many issues that affect them, some decide that death is the best way out. They don't see an end to their suffering and they just want away from it all. what they don't realize is that teenage years mean nothing, especially when your in highschool. These years don't matter all you have to do is stand a lot of things and somehow get through the teen years. They have to realize once the teenage years are up they have a life. Sadly many teens don't see that and end up thinking suicide is the only way out.

Man tried to assassinate President Obama

A man named Joseph Sean McVey tried assassinating President Obama by pretending to be a cop. He rented a car and "dressed it up" to make it look like a cop car. He then asked to see President Obama while Obama's plane was ready to take of. Cops then stopped  because one of them saw a gun strapped on to his belt. They then grabbedhim and took him away. They saw that the gun wasn't loaded so they charged him for a misdeamnor. Cops are still trying to figure out whether McVey was targeting Obama or ha danother motive. But he is currently in jail with a $100,000 dollar bailout.http://www.aolnews.com/nation/article/joseph-sean-mcvey-arrested-near-president-barack-obamas-plane/19453712?icid=main|main|dl1|link1|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aolnews.com%2Fnation%2Farticle%2Fjoseph-sean-mcvey-arrested-near-president-barack-obamas-plane%2F19453712

A farmer suffered a gunshot to his face that completely destroyed his face leaving him with only 2 eyes. He has had 9 surgeries that failed because he coulldn't drink or swallow and couldn't breathe properly. He has lived like this for five years until finally a hospital in Spain helped him out by giving him a whole face transplant from a dead brain donor. The surgery lasted 24 hours an was done by 30 doctors. In the end the surgery was succesful. The doctors said within a couple of weeks everything will be back to normal as it was before he shot him self. The man will be able to eat, swallow and watch tv.

South Park episode depicting Prophet Muhammad causes uproars.

Comedy Central's "South Park" included a representation of the Prophet Muhammad as a character this week even though a violent Muslim group warned them that its producers could be killed.Muhammad appeared on Wednesday night's episode of the cartoon with his body obscured by a black box, since Muslims consider a physical representation of their prophet to be really disrepectful. Last week, the character was believed to be disguised in a bear costume. When that same costume was removed this week, Santa Claus appeared.The bear costume had angered the New York-based group Revolution Muslim, which posted a message on its website saying that producers Trey Parker and Matt Stone had insulted their Prophet.The message included a gruesome picture of Theo Van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker murdered by a Muslim extremist in 2004 after making a movie about a woman who rejected Muhammad's teachings. The message said the "South Park" producers would "probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh" for airing the show.

New $100 dollar bill with 3D security ribbon.

Treasury the company that prints and makes the US money has invented a new hundred dollar bill that will frustrate the people that make counterfeit money but it helps many people from getting played into a counterfiet hundred dollar bill. The way it works is pretty amazing. The new hundred dollar bill has a bell on the right hand bottom which if you tilt in a certain way will turn into the number 100. The bill will release on Feb. 10, 2011. It also features a color-changing inkwell and Liberty Bell to the right of Franklin's portrait on the bill.An embedded thread to Franklin's left will glow pink when placed under UV light. And the words "The United States of America" will be microprinted on Franklin's jacket. It was suppose to be released in 2008 then it was delayed so they can make more advanced security enhancements. Now the question is wil lthere be a criminal smart enough to make a counterfeit hundred dollar bill when the new one comes out? Lets hope not.

The next touch screen generation in your palm.

Chris Harrison, a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University and a former intern at Microsoft Research, has developed a prototype where you can control some of your I-phone functions on your arm such as texting answering calls. The prototype is called Skinput. The way it works is you have certain hand movements and sign languages using your hand that triggers the function that you want. The Skin-put is also provided with a projector called the pico projector that allows you to display an image of a digital keyboard on a person's forearm. So, using Skinput, someone could send text messages by tapping his or her arm in certain places without pulling the phone out of a pocket or purse. You might be wondering how does the icons come onto your hands, well there is a small band that is placed on your hand which is connected to the I phone somehow allowing it to display the icons onto your hands also letting you to click on it. Pretty amazing, but then again it's America.

Strangest News Ever.

A journalist once published in the newspaper that a new pitcher asked him if he can join the New York Mets. The reason he wanted to join was because he can pitch 168 mph with exact accuracy. The journalist replied to him by saying of course. When the coach of the Mets read the article he let the players know and together they celebrated because a gifted man with such pitching skills wanted to join there team. Turns out the pitcher was only real in the imagination of the journalist. Yes, the journalist made the whole thing up. There was no pitcher that can pitch 168 mph. I mean come on, who beleives that, especially when there wasn't even a car that can travle 168 mph!

Most Expensive Car in the World.

Bugatti Veyron $1,700,000. This is by far the most expensive street legal car available on the market today. It is the fastest accelerating car reaching 0-60 in 2.6 seconds. It claims to be the fastest car with a top speed of 253 mph+. To think people will waste over a million dollars on a car is  just absurd. You can buy at least two mansions with that kind of money. And another thing to point out is, what if the car gets messed up or something, what if you crash with it? Then thats a million dollars down the drain i guess, because reparing a expensive car liek that means expensive parts that arent found just anywhere. To get these parts will probably cost more than your car.

Aaron Vargas who murdred his childhood molester, Darrell McNeill, was sentenced to prison for 50 years because of the manslaughter. Mcneill was his neighbor as a child when he was 11 years old. Thats when he was molested by him. Ever since then Vargas was tormented mentally and couldn't for get what happened to him. He had rvenge on his mind while growing up. McNeill used his position as a Boy Scout troop leader and as active neighborhood father to win the trust of Vargas and other young boys, Galliani said. He took the boys on camping trips or hikes, gave them alcohol or drugs and molested them, Galliani alleged. The alleged sexual abuse waned as Vargas grew into adulthood, but McNeill continued to call him and visit the home where Vargas lived with his wife and infant daughter.
