>> A SeaWorld trainer was killed yesterday when the largest killer whale at the marine park dragged the trainer underwater and drowned her. I guess that's why six-ton animals with "killer" in their names shouldn't be forced to perform to "I Believe I Can Fly" on an hourly basis. (the Orlando Sentinel)
>> A Wisconsin teen was sentenced to 15 years in prison yesterday for blackmailing more than 30 of his classmates for sex through Facebook. Oh, silly kid, you haven't learned about Craigslist yet? (the Los Angeles Times)
>> Just four months after becoming the third woman to head a major Christian Church, the head of Germany's 25 million Protestants resigned yesterday after police stopped her for drunk driving. Hey, she never claimed to be Mormon. (Reuters)
>> Inspired by Lady Gaga's "scary" outfit at Tuesday night's Brit Awards (their equivalent to the Grammys), a British farmer fed up with pigeons eating his crop styled his scarecrow as Gaga, wig and all. Click for picture. (the Daily Mail)
>> And finally: The EU high court ruled today that the West Bank is not part of Israel and that Israeli goods like wines, cookies and computer equipment made there will be subject to import duties. So now, not only do you have to deal with bomb threats when flying out of Israel, but you have to worry about less duty-free merchandise too. (Ha'Aretz)
