First cloned baby "born on 26 December"
New Scientist

Well it has happened, the first cloned baby was born on the 26th of December.  A company named Clonaid has claimed responsibility.  No official confirmation has been made from outside sources.

Clonaid says that the cloned baby is a girl named Eve and was cloned using the mothers genetic code. The baby girl was born by Caesarean section at 11:55 EST.  The president of Clonaid, Brigitte Boisseleir, said the birth went very well, and that the  baby weighed in at 7lbs.

Clonaid is a company formed in 1997 by the Raelian cult. The cult believes people are clones of aliens.

Parent's Beg Driver to Please Give Up"
Ananova:

The parents of a six-year-old girl who was killed in a crash with a stolen car have appealed for the driver to give himself up.

The collision, at 10.45pm on New Year's Eve, in Ashington, Northumberland, killed Rebecca Sawyer, six, and left her 18-month-old sister Kirsty fighting for her life. Her parents said the next 48 hours would be crucial.

Father Steven, 33,  badly bruised and with cuts to his face, alongside his wife Sharon, 33, said this message to the driver. "You must  give yourself up. You have ruined our family and now you're just making this agony linger. You are going to get caught, the police know who you are. Just come in now. Turn yourself in." His wife Cindy added,  "that's just not one of those things you expect to find when you get up in the morning. It's just one of those one-in-a-million things."

Spontaneous Human Combustion (SHC)!

Spontaneous human combustion is the process of a human body catching fire as a result of heat generated by internal chemical action. There have been several incidents where investigators have determined the cause of death could have only been cause by SHC. Although no one has actually seen it for themselves. Many of the SHC stories have originated with police investigators who have been perplexed by partially ignited corpses near unburnt rugs or furniture. "What else could it be?" they ask. The physical possibilities of spontaneous human combustion are remote. Not only is the body mostly water, but aside from fat tissue and methane gas, there isn't much that burns readily in a human body.

For further research on this subject I suggest the following sites. They will give you a lot more insight on this phenomena.

"Headache turns out to be gun shot wound" New York Post.


Keishan Scudder of Paterson, New Jersey, made his way to his cousins house on Christmas Day for help. He was covered in blood after being beaten and robbed. When his cousin opened the door and asked him if he was alright, Keishan answered that he felt a really bad headache. His cousin took him to the hospital and it was later discovered that the headache was caused from having been shot in the head.

It wasn't until he was X-rayed at a local hospital that doctors found Scudder had a bullet lodged in his head.
