The Things People Will Do

Reading AOL news is a pretty easy way to find a strange news story. Take the woman who tried to sell her son, for example. How on earth could you justify selling your own child.

In the article this woman tries to sell her son for $10,000 to buy a new apartment. A NEW APARTMENT? I hope it was worth it. I'm not really sure how nice of an apartment you can get for 10 g's, but she must have really liked it to sell her kid. What can really be going through someones head to get rid of a child for a new place to live. Its amazing the things people will do.

How about the man who was killed after taking 30 nails from a nail gun to the head. The X-ray shows 30 nails through the skull of an Australian man. I understand that disecting the mind of a murder is hard, but to kill someone with a nail gun is weird, andto shoot someone THIRTY times is straight insanity. And to think that two children found the body wrapped up in a rug in the river bound by wire is a scary thought. Once again its amazing the things people will do.

The last weird news story from AOL comes out of Saudi Arabia. A Court has upheld a divorce via text message. In Saudi Arabia a man can legally divorce his wife by simply saying the words "I divorce you" three times. He was in Iraq at the time the text message was sent to his former spouse. Some marriage they must have had to divorce over a text message. I wonder what kind of phone he was using! Again, the things people will do.
