Kill Them

Stand all three of them really close together, put the gun against one of their heads and pull the trigger

With any luck at all, the bullet will go right through all three of them and save on expenses.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard about Christopher Barrios. He's the 6-year old boy from Brunswick, Georgia, who went missing on March 8. His body was found in a black plastic garbage bag about three miles from his home on March 15.

A week after his disappearance (before the body was found), investigators brought in four people who wound up being arrested. George David Edenfield (32) who has a previous conviction from 1997 involving 7 and 9 year old boys, his father David Edenfield (58) who has a 1994 conviction for incest with an adult male relative (not his son), and his mother Peggy Edenfield. Also arrested was a friend of the family, Donald Dale. Police announced that the family had murdered the boy, and Dale helped conceal the body. All of them kept giving conflicting stories and misleading officers who were searching for Christopher's body.

The DA has said he will seek the death penalty against George and his parents, David and Peggy. In addition to sexual abuse and murder, the trio are charged with false imprisonment, cruelty to children and enticing a child for indecent purposes.

Donald Dale, who has admitted to helping dispose of the body, is charged with concealing a death and tampering wtih evidence. Investigators say he was not present when Christopher was abducted, assaulted and murdered.

These are the last three faces Christopher Barrios saw in his short life.

According to an indictment that was released Wednesday, George and his father David took turns sexually assaulting Christopher, sodomizing him and forcing him to perform oral sex on them while Peggy watched and masturbated. Then, ignoring his complaints that they were hurting him, they choked him to death and threw him out like yesterday's garbage.

Kill them.

Thirty amazing new creatures found in Antarctic

Who says nothing good comes out of "global warming?"

At least 30 strange creatures that are new to science, including a psychedelic octopus, have been found in frigid waters off Antarctica in one of the world's most pristine marine environments. Look at it! Isn't it amazing? (click to enlarge - photo by E. Jorgensen, NOAA)

Researchers with the International Polar Year research effort catalogued about 1,000 species in an area of the Antarctic seabed where warming temperatures are believed to have caused the collapse of overlying ice shelves, affecting the marine life below.

The expedition also found sea lilies, sea cucumbers and sea urchins thriving on the sea floor — these species are usually found in much deeper waters where food is scarce, but the ice shelves probably made food scarcer than it would usually be at that shallow depth.

In the Weddell Sea off the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, 10,000 square kilometers of seabed was sealed off from the surface for thousands of years by the 100-meter thick Larsen A and B ice shelves.

When these ice shelves collapsed in recent years, the area was opened up to colonization by species that could not have survived there before.

One of the main aims of the expedition was to survey both indigenous life-forms and creatures that had moved in after the collapse to take advantage of the newly opened environment.

Gutt said that 95 percent of the animals the expedition found were probably indigenous and just 5 percent had moved in after the ice shelves collapsed, but even that small percentage indicated a shift in biodiversity and species composition in the area which will probably continue.

The expedition also found scours created by icebergs that calved from the ice sheets and ran aground on the sea bed, destroying the life in the area, but the damage wasn't as bad as expected.

"I expected more, because if there are thousands of icebergs disintegrated, or calved, in a very short period of only a few months, then I expected that everything would be destroyed. But it was not," Gutt said.

The expedition actually found more evidence of disturbance outside the Larsen ice shelf area at points where many icebergs must pass.

But in the areas icebergs had destroyed, Gutt said, signs of life were returning.

I can't wait to see what else they find!
