No one knows why a child opened fire at Sparks Middle School in Nevada, killing a teacher and wounding two other students before taking his own life.
Remember the woman the other day who was fainting behind President Obama while he spoke? Why did he turn around BEFORE the woman fainted? Wow. . this video is quite a bombshell of conspiratorial thought. I love it!

Just a plain weird GIF presented by NBC’s TODAY SHOW blog this morning.
And I can’t stop watching it..
BOSTON.COM is reporting this:
The high school math teacher who was allegedly slain by a 14-year-old student asked the student to stay after school on the day she was killed because she wanted to help him with an upcoming test, a student in the class said today.
Student Rania Rhaedaoui said she was in Colleen Ritzer’s algebra class on the last period of the day on Tuesday, along with the suspect, Philip Chism.
“She saw him drawing during class and she just said to him, ‘I didn’t know you could draw,’” said Rhaedaoui, a 14-year-old freshman.
“I sit really close to him, so I could hear,” she said.
Rhaedaoui said she later heard Ritzer ask Chism to stay after school.
“She just said, ‘Can you stay after with me?’ He just gave a nod.”
“There was a test coming up, and she wanted to know if he had any questions on learning equations,” Rhaedaoui said.
Cambria Cloutier, another 14-year-old freshman, who was also in the class, said she walked by Ritzer’s classroom at about 3:15 p.m., more than an hour after the class had gotten out at 1:55 p.m. “She was standing at her computer, and he was just sitting there,” Cloutier said. “It just looked normal, like any other day.”

Inside the interesting world of creating fake eyes.. the LA TIMES reports on the ‘family business’ … One thing I found interesting: No schools actually offer education on ocularistry.. you have to be an apprentice and work with a master craftsman..
I suppose besides that, the notion of creating fake eyes as a living is just sort of creepy and weird..
Krokodil is spreading.. the drug use that profoundly hurt millions of Russians with disgusting results is now in the United States.. At least six people in Chicago were suspected of having it.. two in Arizona.. skin is rotting.. the word is spreading.. Don’t take this drug.
