Current mood: Breezy
Okay I couldn't resist that one partially because of the article I'm about to share with you right now!
Get this, in a Mountain Commune in Kunming (Southern China) there is a village where you must be 4'3" tall to get in. I'm not kidding, it's a village made completely of dwarves or "little" people. I don't know which is politically correct anymore. Not only that, but they dress up like fairy tale characters to bring in money from Tourism! "As small people we are used to being pushed around and exploited by big people. But here there aren't any big people and everything we do is for us," said spokesman Fu Tien.
Don't believe me? http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?Chinese_dwarves_set_up_their_own_village&in_article_id=745272&in_page_id=2
Rome, Italy: Mudslide caused by heavy overnight rains flooded the Sicilian city of Messina. At least 20 people were killed during the deluge and several cars and buildings were swept away. Another 40 people were hospitalized due to various injuries caused by the flooding. Several hundred people are seeking shelter in gyms and schools due to sudden homelessness.

My favorite president (besides John Quincy Adams) Barack Obama met with his top Afghan war commander in Copenhagen, Denmark. The meeting took place privately aboard Air Force One on Friday for a talk the White House described as productive. Apparently they are trying to decide whether or not to send more troops to stomp out more Al Qaeda or to send only some to help out in Pakistan. Not only that, but Obama was in Denmark to place the United State's bid to host the 2016 Olympics Games.

So some guy named Enrique Gonzalez and his friend, Travis Gorman, apparently TATTOOED a GANG symbol on the prior's SEVEN YEAR OLD SON! He is not going to get a life sentence for this (under the Mayhem Charge), but does face a few years in jail for Cruel and inhumane treatment of a child.

A FIVE year old Texas Boy shot an 800lb. Alligator in the head, thus saving himself from being killed. Apparently he had been trained by his father since he was 4 years old to handle a gun and it came in handy when an 800lb Gator came onto their Texas property.

And last, but definitely NOT least, in India there were clusters of unhatched Dinosaurs Eggs found by geologists! The eggs were about 13-20cm in diameter and lying in sandy nests about 1.2m wide, under ash from volcanic eruptions.

And now, your song of the day!
And an extra video of Gackt, because it makes me giggle more than anything I've ever seen (well besides Debbie Reynolds being Princess Leia's [Carrie Fisher] mom... That makes me giggle very hard and I don't know why.)! Don't worry, it's subtitled in English so you know what he is saying. ^^
