Vengeful Gravestones

It seems like a dangerous activity if you’re in the business of vandalizing church cemeteries.

In April a man vandalizing a cemetery by knocking over gravestones in Lilburn, GA was injured when one of the gravestones fell on him. His leg was crushed under the weight of the heavy stone and he lay on the ground wailing for two hours until someone came and rescued him.

You have to wonder if any passerby thought the cemetery was haunted that night.

Then, on May 6th, Michael Schreiber, 22, was in the midst of vandalizing a Calumet Park cemetery in Merrillville, Ind., when his legs were broken by a half ton gravestone that fell on him. He couldn’t call out for help as he was unconscious.

He’d already knocked over 14 gravestones when the half ton one fell on him.

It was about time one fought back.

Convicted murder wanted to go to peaceful Death Row

Isn’t it odd and perhaps ironic how convicted murderer Paul John Fitzpatrick said about Death row last March when he was before a judge in Largo, Florida. He said Death row “is the calmest place I’ve ever been in”.

He was hoping to avoid a mere life sentence, which would place him in the general prison population. “I probably found the most peace I’ve ever had in my whole life (in his previous experience) on death row,” he said. “It’s just a lot easier doing time with murderers than it is with fools.”

The ironic part? The judge gave him life.

This little guy, he was just so tired, he stopped in a patch of prickly cactus for a nap.

The hedgehog blends in pretty good doesn’t he? I always thought having a pet hedgehog would be pretty cool but most of the time when I see them they are all balled up and acting defensive so I decided that maybe they weren’t the best pet for me. I’d want one that would interact a bit more- not ball up and try to hide from me in fear.

Do any of my readers have pet hedgehogs? If you do- how do you like them as a pet?

Webmasters will reap rewards at MegaGlobe

I think I mentioned the Megaglobe - International Search Engine that is set to launch at anytime, I think.

Just to refresh your memory. MegaGlobe is set to be a huge search engine that might rival the big three very soon. The MegaGlobe search engine will be published in over 30 Countries, and in more than 45 different languages. Now that is a search engine with a huge reach.

Megaglobe has felt that webmasters aren’t properly recognized or compensated by the current pay - per- click programs offered by at least two of the big three search engines and they hope to rectify this situation shortly after they launch by inviting webmasters to host ads on their site. They are promising high rewards and fair compensation for sales or clicks based on keyword pricing.

Keep an eye on this site as I believe it’s set to launch at any time and it would be great to get in on a new program just as it starts.
