Two men in Maine, Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz, took 101 bottles of Diet Coke and crafted a mesmerizing, two-minute Mentos and Diet Coke performance that they call “a spectacular, mint-powered version of the Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas.”

Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

A man shouting that God would keep him safe was mauled to death by a lioness in Ukrainian capital’s zoo after he crept into the animal’s enclosure, a zoo official said on Monday.

“The man shouted ‘God will save me, if he exists’, lowered himself by a rope into the enclosure, took his shoes off and went up to the lions,” the official said.

The lion attacked the 45-year-old Ukrainian late Sunday after he used a rope to climb down into an enclosure with four lions, said Kyiv police spokesman Volodymyr Polishchuk.

He said the man, who was not identified, was acting aggressively and the lion seized him by the throat. The man, an ethnic Azerbaijani, died at the scene.

Ohio State fan kills girlfriend, c0-founder of MLB player fan club

Monday, June 5th, 2006

You may have heard about Ohio State fan, Michael Cooper, who faces sex charges after admitting to the crime on camera during a Carl Monday interview. Carl is a C.I.A. (Cleveland’s Investigative Reporter). If you haven’t seen the video of Carl interviewing Cooper and then being attacked by Cooper’s family, you should. Anyway, Cooper represents his Buckeye pride during the interview wearing a OSU shirt.

Tragically, another Buckeye fan made the news today in a apparent murder-suicide. Andrew Brown, pictured right, fatally shot his girlfriend, and then killed himself early yesterday in his South Toledo apartment complex. She was one of Cleveland Indian’s Grady Sizemore’s biggest fans, who routinely made the trip from Toledo to Jacobs Field. Michelle Mielecki, 21, was the co-founder of the fan club, called Grady’s Ladies Sisterhood.

Police said the national attention of the fan club could be the reason Mielecki’s boyfriend shot and killed her Saturday before taking his own life.

“You know we were just doing interviews and at the game and everything, had our pictures taken and now it’s just kind of come to a stop, what do you do now?” said Amanda Bonnell. “It’s hard.”

Other fan club members said Mielecki’s boyfriend was the jealous type and they are rethinking continuing the club.

Mielecki was studying marketing at the University of Toledo and hoped to work for the Indians.
