Polar Bear Shot

The polar bear, left was killed after attacking a German cruise ship worker on Norway's Svalbard archipelago last week.

Svalbard has seen five such polar bear attacks in 40 years.

The 2011 bear attacked a group of 14 on a British school trip.   A 17-year-old died and that bear was also killed.

Polar bears are protected in Norway unless, of course they maul and/or kill people.

Science Diamond Strike

Science has found a $196,652,180,432,376,780,220,792,832 cache of diamonds.  That's 196 septillion and change for the science inclined.

The catch?  The diamonds are 100 miles down.

The deepest hole ever dug do date is the Kola Superdeep Borehole which was 9 inches in diameter, 7.5 miles deep and took almost 20 years to dig.

If someone does manage to drag them up you can assume all existing diamonds will suddenly become less valuable than common table salt.

Armless Artist Stabs Tourist

Ninety pound South Beach, Fl artist Jonathan Crenshaw is homeless, armless and for years painted prodigiously with just his feet to the delight of tourists.

But last Tuesday around midnight Crenshaw grabbed a pair of scissors from his waistband (using a foot of course) and stabbed tourist Cesar Coronado.

Coronado's girlfriend says they were just asking for directions (at midnight).

Crenshaw's rap sheet includes trespassing, disorderly intoxication, vandalism, and battery on police officers, firefighters and city code inspectors.  But not with a pair of scissors until now.

Local newspapers say the artist claims he lost his arms when his mother fed him rat poison.

Crenshaw also says Gloria Estefan gave birth to 200 of his children.  So there's that too.
