Sports, U.S.: Mike Tyson’s daughter on life support after accident :(

  • A control cord from a treadmill was wrapped around her neck. The boxer’s 7-year-old daughter, Exodus, was discovered by his 4-year old son yesterday at Tyson’s Phoenix home. She was caught wrapped up in the cord of a treadmill machine console. The scene was apparently quite scary and the family is requesting thoughts and prayers. “Those are the things that stay with you in your career,” said Sgt. Andy Hill of the Phoenix P.D. “We always hope for a miracle — not to have the worst happen to a child.” source

Offbeat: How does it feel? Kinda blah; today is Blue Monday.

  • The saddest day in history? Experts say that a number of things – fading memories of Christmas and New Year’s, the cruddy weather, but especially the economy – make January 19, 2009 the saddest day on record. They claim that many people will stay home from work and many more will stay in bed. Hey! Just ’cause we’re typing this in bed doesn’t mean we’re depressed! source
