Decades old murder solved

In 1981, a 6-year old boy was decapitated in Hollywood Florida. The little boy, Adam Walsh, was abducted from a shopping center, then murdered. Adam's abduction lead to the tv show America's Most Wanted, hosted by his father John Walsh. The suspect, Ottis Toole had apparently confessed twice to killing the boy, but then took his confessions back. Toole also confessed to hundreds of other murders, but most were lies. The authorites made sevral mistakes in this investigation, including losing blood stained carpet from Toole's car, and overlooking the fact that a sandal and green shorts similar to what Adam had been wearing had been found in Toole's house. Adam's head was discovered in a canal 120 miles away, but the rest of his body was never found. So this closes more than two decades of unhapiness and torture for Adam's parents. The suspect has been dead for awhile.

It's great that this case was finally solved, though it should've been solved alot earlier. My questions are why on earth would someone abduct a random little boy and decapitate him, and confess to hundreds of murders they didn't do?

Bush dodges shoe

ON a surpirse las t visit to the middle east, Predsident Bush thanks the troops and talks to the iraqui officials. but not everyone is happy he's there, some reporter in the small group that was there, threw both his shoes at Bush so he had to duck to avoid being hit. In the middle east, this is apparently a great insult, to get a shoe thrown at you, but apparently Bush was not insulted and later joked about it. Apprenly the man also cried out as he was throwing the shoes: "this is for the widows and orphans!". Who knows what he meant by that. then he was tackled and dragged away screaming by security.

I think that it is totally hilarious that Bush had to dodge a shoe of all things. apparently he thinks it's funny too. I guess that reporter's aim wasn't very good, or else he's bad at taking poeple by surprise, othersie he would've hit Bush. it seems just so hilarious!!!!!!! and i'm sure you can find an article about it on any newswebsite.

woman swept away during proposal

in Neskowin, Oregon, Scott Napper was about to propose to his girlfriend of 3 years, Leafil Alforque when a 3 foot high wave came and swept her away. Leafil was from the phillipines and had arrived 3 days before this event. As she was only 4'11 and 93 pounds, it was easy for the wave to sweap her away. Napper quickly called for help, and some arrived in minuites, but they were unable to find Alforque.

I think it's incredbly sad and funny at the same time that she was swept away jsut as her boyfriend was about to pop the question. Sad because now they can never marry, and her boyfriend will never see her again. plus her family will never see her again. But yet waht are the chances of getting swept away by a wave just as your boyfriend was goign to ask you to marry him?!!!! i mean it sounds like something from a cartoon or something! this article was on cbsnews.com.

Horses, myth and fascination

In the book Horses Myth and Fascination by Susanne Sgrazzutti it explains mythical horses. The legend goes that a unicorn appeared to a young woman and made her understand without words, that she would “bear a king without a throne.” People later thought it referred Confucius. The horn on a unicorn was often sought for jewelry and for cups that rendered poison useless. But it wasn’t actually the horn of a unicorn, as they do not exist, but the horn of a male narwhale. It was this horn that fueled the beliefs in unicorns for many years. Many goddesses and gods were portrayed with horses, and some ancient Germanic tribes worshiped a pure white horse. Another mythical horse was Sleipnir, who had eight legs and supposedly could glide over land, sea and air. The Germanic people also decided when to launch attacks by their horses’ reactions. In conclusion, the horse has played a great role in history and myths.
