			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft" src="/visual/MONSTER.JPG" alt="" width="351" height="127" />The Montauk Monster that supposedly washed up in the Hamptons might be only one in what could be a longer line of <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/webscout/2008/10/moscow-monster.html">bizarre unidentified creatures</a> washing up on shores all over the world.  And more recently, in New London a so called <a href="http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/another-bod/">&#8220;Clapsadle Carcass&#8221; </a> had been discovered.  &#8220;Had&#8221; because the carcass is supposdly no where to be found.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">______________________________________________________________</p>
<div>A seven year old boy in Australia went on a <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7649876.stm">reptile killing spree</a> at a zoo this past Wednesday, slaughtering 13 animals in total.  He was caught on cameras throwing rare reptiles into the crocodile enclosure over a security fence.  Zoo officials are currently looking into suing the boys parents since he is too young to be charged.</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">______________________________________________________________</p>
<div>The <a href="http://www.livescience.com/animals/081005-oldest-footprints.html">oldest known footprint</a> may have been found.  The tracks, if legitimate, belong to an animal that lived 570 million years ago.  The discoverer says that he expects and welcomes skepticism, but if the find is real, then it would apparently push the advent of walking back 30 million years earlier than any previous solid finding.</div>
<div>______________________________________________________________</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">According to a new report by the National Cancer Research Institute, patients who are suffering from quote <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/scientists-spurn-unfashionable-cancers-951817.html">“unfashionable” cancers</a> are being neglected by scientists who favor pouring research money for cancers with higher survival rates.  The two which receive the most are breast cancer and leukemia, while pancreatic and lung cancer receive much less. Some experts are enraged with this finding as approximately 80 per cent of lung cancer victims die within the first year, mainly because people are diagnosed too late.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">______________________________________________________________</p>
<div>After all the hype surrounding the Large Hadron Collider, some of you might be interested in knowing what would happen to your head if you were to stick it in a <a href="http://www.anorak.co.uk/strange-but-true/191720.html">particle accelerator.</a></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">______________________________________________________________</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignright" src="/visual/TWINKLE" alt="" width="127" height="81" />A girl in India named Twinkle <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/india/3107900/Girl-who-bleeds-without-being-cut-baffles-doctors.html">spontaneously bleeds through her pores</a> might soon have hope for being cured.  At its worst, she wakes up covered in dry blood.  Recently though, a British specialist says that she should see a coagulation doctor for treatment he thinks she has a clotting disorder.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">______________________________________________________________</p>
<div>According to the Omaha World-Herald, <a href="http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=1219&amp;u_sid=10450923">more men are taking their wives’ last names!</a> While these men claimed to have experienced discouragement from others, they say that it&#8217;s just because humans hold fast to traditions.</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">______________________________________________________________</p>
<div>And finally, <a href="http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?Thieves_steal_condoms,_leave_massive_condom_behind&amp;in_article_id=336600&amp;in_page_id=2">5000 condoms,</a> a motor used to inflate a large display condom, and some sound equipment were stolen last Wednesday in Mexico City from a so called condom-mobile being used to help promote HIV/AIDS awareness.  When the truck was recovered, it was said that the thieves left the large inflatable condom unharmed.</div>
