Offbeat: We talk about zombies and pirates too much; here’s a vampire story

  • Jonathon “The Impaler” Sharkey pleads guilty to harrassment. The 45-year-old Sharkey, who’s not only a “vampire” apparently but a creep, pleaded guilty to harassment charges involving a teenage girl he met on MySpace. If that’s not good enough, he once ran for Minnesota governor under the “Vampyres, Witches and Pagans” banner. He should have waited. Tim Pawlenty isn’t running again and he might have had a shot. Now he’s just a laughingstock. source

World: We may never know why the Air France plane went down

  • The flight data recorders may be lost at sea forever. Noting that the crash happened in the middle of the ocean, investigators say it may be impossible to find. While the recorders give off a signal that lasts up to 30 days, they can’t find the signal because it’s floating underwater. France has sent a submersible to help find the signal. The depth of the Atlantic near where the wreckage was found is nearly 21,000 feet. source
