Covered in bees

A teenage driver crashed into a hollow tree and stirred up tens of thousands of angry honey bees, creating a swarm that sent her and nine others to the hospital.

So my day could be worse. I'm not trapped in a wrecked car with broken legs being assaulted by bees.

Unrelated yet somehow interesting:

Helena Bonham Carter has signed on to play fanatically evil Lord Voldemort devotee Bellatrix Lestrange in the next "Harry Potter" film.

I'm still impressed by the caliber(-re?) of actors they've assembled for the HP movies. Even as a casual observer, they bring a definite level of charm and gravity to their roles -- even the previously-unknown actors. Hrm.

Why I'm never going to law school

A St. Paul man who was arguing with his girlfriend killed 10 puppies in front of her by snapping their necks and then threatened to do the same to her, witnesses said Wednesday.

...A man accused of sexually assaulting nine boys with physical or mental disabilities told a judge that having sex with children is a sacred ritual protected by civil rights laws.

...An Arizona judge has sentenced a polygamist to 45 days in county jail for having sex with a teenager he took as his third wife.... ...Although polygamy is unconstitutional in Arizona, it is not a crime....

And pretty much right here is where my brain broke.
