Unfriended is unique!  A movie based totally on a chat screen with approximately 5 friends, better known as cyberspace.  The movie was 1 hour and 22 minutes long.  During that time, all we saw was typed conversation between these friends and a former friend who committed suicide several months ago.  I consider this a horror movie which I am not a fan of.  I maintain, if you take away the sound from a horror movie, it falls apart.  Unfriended was actually a little different.  While sound played a big part, so did many other things, like the dialogue and the character of these friends.  The movie was suspenseful and different enough to make it better than the average horror flick.  It falls apart for me because dead people can’t type or control computers or chat rooms.  Dead is dead!  If the death of this person were questionable, I could…

German former SS officer Oskar Groening, dubbed the “bookkeeper of Auschwitz”, asked for “forgiveness” over his role in mass murder at the Nazi death camp, as his trial began Tuesday.

“For me there’s no question that I share moral guilt,” the 93-year-old former Nazi told the judges, admitting that he knew about the gassing of Jews and other prisoners.

“I ask for forgiveness,” he said at the trial, which was attended by almost 70 Holocaust survivors and victims’ relatives, while insisting he never physically harmed a prisoner himself.

I have an irrational fear of sinkholes.

I know I know, they’re horrifying, I agree. I completely agree, imagine feeling the ground around you sink just on a regular ass day?

Like you just go into your friendly neighborhood Starbucks, realize it’s a little too pricy, then travel a couple extra blocks to get into the nearest Dunkin’ Donuts for an iced coffee. Nice, score, triumph. Delicious coffee and caffeine. Fantastic all around. You go outside, observe a few passing pedestrians, ponder life as you watch a dog piss on a fire hydrant, you smile and walk over to the crosswalk. You jaywalk across the street, smile shy to a passerby who keeps eye contact longer than expected, check your texts as you sip your coffee with your other hand, think you’re having the most regular day ever then WHAM!

You feel your leg drop into a depression, as if…

Ahoy! Archaeologists excavating pirate Blackbeard’s sunken ship, named Queen Anne’s Revenge, recently unearthed from the wreckage various medical devices–and some of them look pretty darn terrifying.

Among the grisly finds were a urethral syringe that would have been used to treat syphilis, two pumps, and a porringer that would have been used in bloodletting, Live Science reported.

“We just have to understand that these people were suffering,” Dr. Linda Carnes-McNaughton, an archaeologist with the U.S. Department of Defense who volunteered on the excavation, told CNN. “They were seeking relief for any kind of ailment, and certainly if there was warfare on the water, there were wounds among other ailments that needed treatment. It wasn’t always a formally trained person in desperate times. That’s probably more common than we know.”

A maligned monarch found under a parking lot was buried in pomp Thursday, as Britain embraced comeback King Richard III, a long-reviled ruler who is experiencing a remarkable posthumous renaissance.

Royalty, religious leaders and actor Benedict Cumberbatch joined archaeologists, Richard’s distant relatives and curious Britons for a service in Leicester Cathedral that saw Richard’s bones buried with dignity, 530 years after his violent death.

“Richard’s posthumous reputation has been less than glorious,” Gordon Campbell, the University of Leicester’s public orator, noted with understatement about a man whose name was long a byword for villainy.

Before they gave me existence,

They called for me;

With immense anticipation I went to face them,

“Alleluia! What do you want to be?”

~~~

Oh what outlandish people they were!

They were rounder than anything I had ever seen

And that, my friends, gave me the spur

“I want to be a hole just like you!” For by them, I was weaned.

~~~~~

So taken aback they were, they gasped;

“It is unfathomable and hard, being a hole”;

“You could be a bird, a song or a hug that could be clasped”;

“I will be a hole, please make me one”, I cajoled.

~~~~

They sent me down, what a jolly childhood I had

I was omnipresent;

Filling every moment with my essence

Be it happy or sad.

I was there when a baby was born

First to witness it, even before its mother

I helped it push…
