Mummified body found in front of TV
Technorati tells us this is the most talked about news today. No wonder that the news media feel empowered to broadcast whatever fait divers they feel like, after all it is all based on what the consumers want. As for the photo, no, this was not the woman found dead in front of the TV in her house in Cincinnati, Ohio. The woman's mummified head is one of the artifacts that can be found at the Egyptian Museum in Atlanta, Georgia.
I take the opportunity to forward readers to a different kind of news: "Sudan: Security Worsens as Darfur Peace Talks Stagnate":
With the talks mired in disagreement, the security situation in Darfur continues to worsen. One of the AU's 6,000 peacekeepers was killed on Friday in the latest breach of the ceasefire and mediators say a crisis between Sudan and Chad risks escalating tensions and damaging the Darfur peace process.
(...)
Humanitarian workers estimate that more than 180,000 people have been killed and nearly two million forced to flee their homes because of the bloodshed. And last week the United Nations declared Darfur a high-risk zone and reduced the number of its personnel in the area.
