Was the Swine Flu Ever That Bad or Was It Just the Media?

As you may have already heard, the swine flu is now on the decline in Mexico. Seems odd right? Especially considering the fact that that's where it originated. Well, hopefully the rest of the world will follow suit. And soon. But until then, we just need to stay clean and pray.

Will The Somalians Ever Quit?

How many of you ever remember wanting to be a pirate? Well, now that the Somalis have struck more than once, do you still want to? We all know that the stories of Blackbeard were cool, but this isn't the version the real world struts. Earlier today, the Somali pirates hijacked a Greek ship.

That's right. They're at it again. The ship they targeted this time was filled with 35,000 tons of soya. 14 crew members were on board. For those of you who don't know, soya, or soybean, is the most proteinaceous vegetable known to man.

Now imagine 35 thousand tons being stolen from you. Not to mention the fear the 14 members of the crew must've been in. The attack, staged at down, simply hijacked the ship. No crew members were harmed in the strike.

What Would Motivate A Father To Do This?

In January 2008, Lam Luong, a refugee that arrived from Vietnam in 1984, decided to push his 4 young children off a bridge in Bayou La Batre, Alabama. They all fell to their watery deaths. What would motivate a father to do that?

Well, apparently, Luong, who is now 39, was on drugs at the time. 3 of the children involved were his own, while the other was his wife's from an earlier relationship.

His 3 kids were the younger 3. They were Hannah, at the age of 2, Lindsey, age 1, and Danny, who was only 4 months old at the time.

The eldest, Ryan, was his wife's from an earlier relationship. He was 3 years old on that fateful January day when he fell 80 feet to his death with his 3 half-siblings.

Earlier today, the court ruled that Luong would face the death penalty. Not only that, but everyday while he was on death row, he would be shown the pictures of each child he murdered that day.

Here's some more from Channel 2: Action News

So I ask you: Why do you think Lam Luong would do such a thing to his precious children?
