The Ugly Face of Crime
By Richard MorinFriday, February 17, 2006; A02

"I'm too ugly to get a job."

-- Daniel Gallagher, a Miami bank robber, after police captured him in 2003

The hapless Mr. Gallagher may have been ugly, but he was also wise.

Not only are physically unattractive teenagers likely to be stay-at-homes on prom night, they're also more likely to grow up to be criminals, say two economists who tracked the life course of young people from high school through early adulthood.

Well, THAT is disturbing.

Sounds like we should be steering clear of ugly folks on the street!

Greenland ice cap breaking up at twice the rate it was five years ago, says scientist Bush tried to gag.

Our polar ice caps in Greenland are melting at a much faster rate than originally thought. Turns out that global warming and the greenhouse effect ARE scientifically sound theories, unlike what our Republican representatives would have us believe. Sea levels are rising and the ice caps are about to slip into the ocean as they melt. There is enough ice to raise the sea level by 21 feet (YIKES!). If this happens, it could potentially flood some of the world's major cities and ports. Does that mean we'll start to evolve into webfooted, gill breathing freaks like Kevin Costner in 'Waterworld'? Fresh water will become rare and dirt a commodity? According to what this and several scientists/climatologists are saying I suppose we'd better teach the new generations to sail, though I doubt we will see 'Waterworld' in this century.

I think the news is getting more and more disturbing.

The World is full of freaks and freaky climates.
