New Lost Animal in Farmville | Adopt a Black Cat


After the lost turtle, now a sad, lonely black kitten can be found wandering in Farmville! Th black kitten has been searching for her lost friend who likes to hide inside Jack-O-Lanterns and feels very sad. So now is the time for you to save this cute black cat! No it's not a bad omen, it's good luck!

Amelia Earhart Eaten by Coconut Crabs?

Whatever happened to Amelia Earhart is a great mystery. She, who attempted to circumnavigate the globe, disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean near Howland Island. A group of researchers claims to have found the very spot where she mysteriously vanished and says that she landed on an atoll called Nikumaroro – part of the Phoenix Islands, Kiribati.

And where is the body? According to Richard Gillespie, TIGHAR’s executive director, "If Amelia died on Nikumaroro, her body was eaten by crabs. That's pretty much a given.” Coconut crabs are said to be living in the Nikumaroro. They are the largest land-living athropod which have huge claws which can actually break open a coconut in half, thus the name.

Only the Coconut Crabs Really Know Where Amelia Earhart Is Jaunted

She was selfish and when her husband died (of stab wounds), she immediately seek replacement since she never really cared about him.

Her obsessions include maintaining her youth and vitality. She was vain and she believed that girl’s blood, especially that of the pretty ones, would make her look fresher and younger and brighter.She strongly believed that if she bathe in the blood of young virgins and then drank it, she would keep being beautiful and young.

She was accused killing and persecuting hundreds of young women along with her collaborators. Her killings reached a number of over 600 but the number she was convicted for was only 80. She lured some girls with the promise of employment in the castle. She enslave people and those who does not want to come with her were taken forcibly, tortured, bound and stabbed with needles and scissors. She buried dead people in several places like in her garden, in a church and so on. Her accusations include:
  • severe beatings over extended periods of time, often leading to death
  • burning or mutilation of hands, sometimes include faces and genitalia
  • biting the flesh off her victims faces and other bodily parts
  • freezing to death
  • experimental surgery
  • starving of victims
  • sexual abuse

In 1610, she was imprisoned and had been placed under house arrest in a bricked in a set of rooms where she stayed until her death four years later.



Elizabeth Báthory is also known as the Blood Countess and is labeled the Bloody Lady of Csejte.

Lil Wayne's Gun Charges and Prison Sentence


The famous rapper Lil Wayne, aka Dwayne Carter, pleaded guilty on gun charges and is sentenced to a one-year imprisonment.He was charged of attempted weapon possession and the official sentence isn’t until February of next year. The weapon charge started two years ago when he and his bus were searched and found a loaded gun. Lil Wayne has been arrested twice for drug charges so this is not his first.


Apparently, rich and famous celebrity like him need something to defend themselves and bringing illegal weapon's just not the right thing. This would surely delay his plans for his upcoming albums and tours.

Full House Remake in GMA 7


GMA is set to have an adaptation of the favorite Korean hit series Full House. The role of Rain will be played by Richard Gutierrez. But the BIG question is who will play Song Hye Kyo's?

Some rumors are pointing at Jennylyn Mercado while some Heart Evangelista fans shout her name. But the first name that has been dragged along was Marian Rivera and due to her busy schedule, she did not accept the role.

I have never been a fan of Heart so I would'nt be so glad if she would win.:) This role is supposed to be funny and bubbly, and among the three, I think Marian fits the role best.


Full House is a story of two very different people who were destined to learn to love each other in a marriage agreed only on paper.

Gravity is working against me

Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down
Oh I'll never know what makes this man
With all the love that his heart can stand
Dream of ways to throw it all away
Oh Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down
Oh twice as much ain't twice as good
And can't sustain like one half could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees
Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me
And gravity has taken better men than me
Now how can that be?
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
C'mon keep me where the light is
C'mon keep me where the light is
Oh... where the light is
