George Zimmerman is selling the gun he used to kill Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager, during a 2012 confrontation in Sanford, Florida.
“I’m a free American,” he told Fox 35 in Orlando. “I can do what I like with my possessions.”
Zimmerman wrote in the auction description of the Kel-Tec PF-9 9mm handgun that he plans to use some of the money to “fight BLM violence against Law Enforcement officers, ensure the demise of Angela Correy’s [sic] persecution career and Hillary Clinton’s anti-firearm rhetoric.”
Angela Corey is the Republican state attorney who charged Zimmerman with second-degree murder in the Martin shooting.

A 2013 fertilizer plant blast in Texas that killed 15 people and wiped out hundreds of homes was caused by a “criminal act,” federal officials said Wednesday.
The findings were revealed in a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigation into the origin of the deadly fire and explosion at the West Fertilizer Co. on April 17, 2013, in the rural town of West.
The explosion flattened the farming community of 2,800 people, just north of Waco, turning some 500 homes into rubble as residents tried desperately to flee the horrific scene. Over 200 people were injured.
The force felt was equivalent to that of a magnitude-2.1 earthquake, and a 93-foot-wide crater scarred the site of the fertilizer plant, where dangerous chemicals, including ammonium nitrate, were stored.

The mood is squarely risk-off, with stocks down and crude and other commodities higher — but off much stronger levels from earlier — after U.S. officials raised the possibility of Russian oil sanctions. That’s as the world faces an ever-worsening humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, where the Russian invasion has reached day 12 and more than a million people have fled the fighting.
Against the backdrop of unpredictable and dangerous geopolitical upheaval, here is some wartime investing advice from Berkshire Hathaway’s BRK.A, -1.05% Warren Buffett, from an interview in 2014, the last time Russia invaded Ukraine.
“The one thing you can be quite sure of is if we went into some very major war, the value of money would go down — that’s happened in virtually every war that I’m aware of. The last thing you’d want to do is hold money during a war,” he said.
Buffett bought his first stock in 1942, when “macro factors were not looking good,” but insisted investors would frankly “be a lot better owning productive assets over the next 50 years” than pieces of paper.

Drink more water” seems to be the all-encompassing solution to life. People swear it can ease sickness, eradicates exhaustion, clears pimples, helps you lose weight, etc. Hydration sustains life — scientists search far and wide for planets that have H2O. But there is such a thing as drinking too much water, and it can kill you.
First, it’s important to know that every substance has a lethal limit. Water’s lethal limit is way higher than, say, alcohol or hard drugs — but it does exist. It’s 90 milliliters per kilogram, according to a study on rats, Gizmodo reported. In other words, assuming the same effect on humans, it’s highly inadvisable for a 150-pound person to drink six liters (approximately 1.6 gallons) of water at once. In fact, based on the study, if 100 people did that, 50 of them would die.
The condition is called hyponatremia — it means water intoxication. Under normal circumstances, if you drink more than enough water to hydrate your body, you’ll just pee the rest out. But if you drink a lethal amount of water, osmosis will transfer the extra H2O to your cells, causing them to swell — and if the water reaches your brain cells, your brain drowns.
“You should drink only when you need to, when you are actually thirsty,” said Dr. James Winger, a family medicine professor at Loyola University Medical Center, according to the New York Times. “Thirst is a very reliable indicator,” he added.
So who’s died from hyponatremia? Mostly athletes and people on drugs. The condition became more relevant when marathon runners started dying from it a couple decades ago, according to the Times. They were mostly slower runners who didn’t sweat much and therefore overcompensated by drinking too much water in their attempts to stay well hydrated.

A pig heart has been beating away in the body of a confused baboon for 945 days — and it could be the key to saving human lives with animal parts.
Xenotransplantation, the process of transferring an organ from one species to another, is nothing new. But a study published Tuesday in Nature Communications showed that thanks to a regime of immunosuppressive therapy drugs, five genetically modified pig hearts put into different baboons stayed alive — beating and growing, but not replacing the functioning baboon’s heart.
One of them lasted 945 days — almost twice as long as the previous record. Before this report, the longest a heart survived was just 500 days.
“This has the potential to really move the field forward,” Dr. Richard Pierson, a professor of surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and one of the study’s co-authors, said in a statement. “This new approach clearly made a difference. We obviously have a lot more work to do, but I’m confident that eventually, this will be useful to human patients.”
It’s exciting but potentially dangerous: Experts say xenotransplantation could be used to support human life. In current experiments, a pig heart just hangs out in a baboon’s belly. But making that pig heart shoulder all the baboon’s cardiovascular functioning is a hell of a lot more demanding. Plus, the baboons are on drugs that make them horrible at fighting disease. So while their immune systems don’t fight the invading organ, they also stink at fighting sickness, meaning the baboons could be at risk of illness.
