34 Bodies Found-Workers rebuilding a 19th century Moscow house dug up the remains of nearly three dozen
people, and investigators were trying to determine their identities, a city police official said Thursday. Some of the remains,
which were found Wednesday under a basement of a house on the estate, had gunshot wounds to the skull and appeared to date
back to the 1930s, and it was possible that more corpses would be found. October 4th Racial Incidnet at School for Deaf-A black student was held against his will and "KKK"
and swastikas were drawn on him in marker Sunday at the Model Secondary School for the Deaf in DC. the incident apparently
started as "horsing around in the dorm." "My understanding is the two groups engaged in friendly horseplay," the lead investigator
said, but as the horseplay continued, the two groups began "to get angry with each other." The groups had named themselves
"Nazi" and "Black KKK." The two groups separated, Lanier said, but later, six white students and one black student took another
of the black students into a dorm room and "held him there against his will." The student was released after being held for
about 45 minutes. He notified dorm and school authorities, who called police. Oct.3 PETA boycott-PETA is calling for the boycott of Mars Inc., the people who have brought
us M&Ms, Twix, and milky ways, claiming the company funds experiments that kill mice, rats, guinea pigs and rabbits. Allegedly
they’re funding a study that uses rats at the University of California in San Francisco which is a violation of their
own written policy. Apparently the rats are force fed by having plastic tubes shoved down their throats, and they are then
cut open and killed. Because of this PETA is filing a complaint with the FTC. Dec 7 No More Naked Twister-No more sex parties for the people of Duncanville, Texas. In
response to neighbors' complaints, the city has outlawed sex clubs in residential areas. Citations have been issued, and search
warrants may be next. "It's crazy that they want to force their morality down our throats," said Dawn Burton, 45, a regular
guest at the parties. "We're all frustrated." So are those who complain of the noise, traffic and parking problems that occur
in their otherwise quiet, upscale neighborhood every Friday and Saturday, when Trulock's home is transformed into "The Cherry
Pit." Dec 7 New Species of Snake Found-There’s a new snake to be afraid of. This time it’s
a spitting cobra about 2.6 meters long and with enough venom to kill up to 20 people in one bite has been discovered in Kenya.
This large brown cobra was discovered on farm back in June 2004, but confirmed as a separate species this year. Dec 7 No divorce for gay couple-A lesbian couple that were married in Massachusetts can’t
get divorced in their home state Rhode Island. The judge voted 3-2 against them getting a divorced because the state's family
court lacks the authority to grant the divorce of a same-sex couple because Rhode Island lawmakers have not defined marriage
as anything other than a union between a man and a woman. Dec 7 CIA Probe-The Democrats in control of Congress aren’t very happy at the moment
with the CIA. They demand investigations into the CIA's destruction of videotapes showing terrorism suspects being subjected
to severe interrogation techniques. Bush says he has no recollection of being told about the tapes or their destruction. The
CIA's disclosure that it had made and destroyed the tapes plunged the spy agency again into the glare of public scrutiny it
has been unable to shake since prewar intelligence on Iraq turned out wrong.Leading Democrats called for a inquiries by the
Justice Department and Congress and criticized the Central Intelligence Agency for acting above the law. Dec 7 |
