KFC's Toilet Ice Cubes
China's official media says that the KFCs in Beijing have ice cubes that are twelve times dirtier than toilet water.
China Central Television (CCTV) reporters sent the ice cubes off to a lab, and found that they contained twenty times the bacteria than the national limit.
Incase it's unclear, consuming this could get you diarrhoea or dysentery. Or both.
KFC is now apologising, saying they're going to sterilise the ice machines. Apparently, they never did.

Satanic Cult's Homosexual Ritual Against the Westboro Baptist Church
Last weekend, top officials from a New York satanic temple, went to the graveside of the mother of the founder of the Westboro Baptist Church, Fred Phelps, and conducted a ceremony celebrating same sex unions. But, also at the same time, there was a satanic ritual known as a "Pink Mass". It's performed twice: once with two gay men, once with two lesbians. They did it right on top of Catherine Johnston's grave (that's Fred Phelps's mom).
And, on top of desecrating someone's grave, a big part of the ritual is that it turns the person in the grave gay - according to the belief. So, now, Fred Phelps's mom, in the afterlife, is gay. Lmao!
The satanist group will probably be charged with trespassing. Well, that's a thing that happened, and I honestly don't know how I feel about it.

Top Ten Hollywood's Highest Paid Actors!
There's nothing like a Forbes. This time around, the money-lovers ranked Hollywood's highest paid actors.
And, I'm not even going to waste your time. I'm just going to pelt your face with the list, right away (because that's how I do).
#10. Liam Neeson. $32 million.
#9. Denzel Washington. $33 million.
#8. Tom Cruise. $35 million.
#7. Adam Sandler. $37 million.
#6. Leonardo DiCaprio. $39 million.
#5. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. $46 million.
#4. Mark Whalberg. $52 million.
#3. Hugh Jackman. $55 million.
#2. Channing Tatum. $60 million.
#1. Robert Downey Jr. $75 million.
First of all, let's be clear, I was a bit taken aback by the fact that Channing Tatum was #2. I don't understand (for the life of me), how he made this list. Nonetheless, I think it's incredibly important to point out that we live in a world where Adam Sandler makes more money, and outshines the earnings of people like Tom Cruise and Denzel Washington. Also, one final point about this list: Mr. Stark truly deserves to be #1, case closed.

The Terrible, Terrible Incident That Happened in Quebec
On Saturday, July 6, 2013, a runaway train, hauling 72 tanker cars of crude oil, derailed and exploded in the Quebec town of Lac Mégantic. As of right now, at least 15 people have been confirmed dead, with 35 still unaccounted for.
Authorities have asked those relatives to provide some sort of DNA (whether it be a toothbrush), so they'd have something to compare it to. They also warned some they may never fully have closure, because a lot of the bodies were burned to ash.
Around 200 officers have been conducting search operations. To give you a scope of how big this explosion was, this was the town before,
and this is it after.
There's also a footage (on the internet) of the train exploding. This is terrifying and horrific.
Another update (today) is that a criminal inquiry is underway to ascertain whether it was foul play or criminal negligence. Right now, the believed story is that the train was parked in Nantes, Quebec. And that, one of its engines, which had been left on to ensure that the air brakes work, caught fire. Local firemen then turned off the engine, put out the fire, and went home.
Also, the company's chairman said that the company would no longer leave trains unattended, or change crews in their town.
Apparently, that's a nice thought, but I don't really think the people that were affected by this would care. They lost people, regardless of if it was an accident, or a terrorist act.
My thoughts are with those that were affected. I can't even begin to know your pain.
Proportionately, we'll never know when we're all going to go. So, let's just live life while we can.
Love to live, and live to love.
Wanda Podgurski: A Random, Stupid Skank.
Wanda Podgurski was sentenced to 20 years in prison after being convicted for taking $650,000 of disability and insurance payments, because she faked her injuries.
Podgurski was also free on a $500,000 bail when she decided to run. And then, because you can always count on people to be stupid, she decided to tweet, "Catch me if you can". The tweet is believed to have been meant for the law.
Just a quick question, when you have one follower, and you're following one person, why are you tweeting? You'd literally just be saying things to one person. Just text that person. Or, just scream things out loud to yourself. It'd be far more effective.
Obviously, because she registered the Twitter (account) with her actual name, it was found and forwarded to US Marshals, who then used Twitter metadata to locate her at Baha, Mexico, and arrest her ass. Which is impeccable, because I hate lying thieves.
When you lie about being the victim of a crime; when you lie about disability, you hurt those that actually suffer from the real consequences.
I'd personally love to ask Podgurski to go suck a dick, but that won't be possible, because she's going to be in prison for 20 years.

The Asiana Airlines Flight 214 Plane Crash
You've probably already heard about the Asiana Airlines Flight 214 plane that crashed at the San Francisco International Airport, on Saturday, July 6, 2013. Or probably not. Nonetheless, I just want to blog about all I know about the plane crash.
For starters, I know that the plane was a Boeing 777 that took off from Shanghai, went to Seoul, and then was on its way to San Francisco.
A lot of the earlier reports are conflicting on the number and how extensive the injuries are. Reports are saying there were two deaths (and that being two 16-year-old Chinese girls), and upwards of 180 injured.
What's even worse, is that there's an autopsy on one of the 16-year-old girls, indicating she didn't die on the plane. The girl's body was found on the evacuation slide, and the San Francisco fire chief said, "Her injuries are consistent with having been run over. It could've been one of our vehicles that added to the injuries, or another vehicle. This could've been something that happened in the chaos, and will be part of our investigation."
So, apparently, one of these teenage girls might've survived the plane crash, then got hit by emergency services -- supposedly a fire truck.
As I write this, the FBI and a handful of other agencies, are all looking into why this happened. This includes everything from criminal activity, terrorism, mechanical failure, and of course, human error.
Although, the CEO of Asiana Airlines has ruled out mechanical failure (I don't know how). I mean, how odd is it that the Airlines doesn't want to admit that it was their plane that messed up.
According to a passenger, the crew gave no sign of being in trouble, or worrying about anything, moments before impact. Numerous eye witnesses say that the plane appeared to be approaching lower than its normal, for an approach, at San Francisco, and they heard the plane's engine accelerate hard, just before impact.
It appears that the plane's tail, or the landing gear, hit the seawall, at the edge of the runway, before bouncing, and coming to a stop, off the runway.
The jet then caught fire, with many passengers receiving burn injuries.
The cockpit voice recorder (otherwise known as the black box) was also recovered. From that they found out that the flight was cleared for visual approach to runway 28 left, and this was confirmed by the crew.
The approach proceeded normally throughout the descent. There was no discussions on aircraft abnormalities, nothing really wrong, and then, seven seconds prior to impact, a crew member called for more speed. Then, four seconds before impact, the sound of the stick shaker, indicating a stall, sounded off. And then, one and a half seconds prior to impact, there was a call for an aborted landing.
But then of course, the question is, what about the pilots? Interestingly, the Airlines is now saying that the pilot who tried to land this Boeing 777, was in training, and that this was his first time trying to land a 777, in San Francisco International.
Conclusively, that's everything I know right now. And, I really don't want to throw a blame on anyone, until the FBI (and the other agencies) finish their investigation.
