Winter Olympics Luge Crash: Nodar Kumaritashvili dies

Sliding faster than ever in his life, 21-year-old Nodar Kumaritashvili had one turn left in his final Olympic training run. Flirting with 90 mph on a $100 million track pushing speed to the outer limits, the luger from the republic of Georgia tilted his head slightly forward as his sled climbed the high-banked wall.

His last move.

Kumaritashvili lost control, crashing into the wall entering the final straightaway. His body went airborne, arms and legs flailing over the opposite side of the track, his upper body smashing into an unpadded steel pole as his sled continued skidding down the track. It all took just 48.9 seconds, start to crash.

Paramedics began working on Kumaritashvili within seconds, quickly starting chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, all to no avail.

The IOC said Kumaritashvili was pronounced dead at a trauma center in Whistler.

Too sad! May his soul rest in peace! Amen!

Pregnant men

Worlds first prenant man - Thomas Beatie

Thomas Beatie, the so-called “pregnant man,” is expecting baby No. 3. The transgender Oregonian grabbed headlines around the world two years ago when he came forward announcing he was pregnant - and male.

Beatie underwent 10 years of sex reassignment therapy, while retaining female reproductive organs, before becoming pregnant with his first child. He gave birth via natural childbirth to a baby girl in June 2008.
His second baby, a boy, was born a year later.

Second pregnant man... Scott Moore

Two men are expecting a baby boy in February, in what will be the world's second known case of birth by a "pregnant man."

Moore and his husband, Thomas, were both born female and have undergone surgery to change their sex. The transgender California couple is legally married, as Moore still has his female birth certificate.

Moore, born Jessica, told the paper he first realized he wanted to be a man when he was 11.

"When I told my family, they thought I was crazy, but they gradually realized I was serious and allowed me to start taking male hormones when I was 16 years old," he said.

His parents eventually paid for him to have his 36DDD breasts removed, the paper reports, but he could not afford the high cost of full sex reassignment surgery.

Moore still has female reproductive organs, and got pregnant using the sperm of a friend in June 2009.

Malawians refuse to leave their homes for Madonna's school

200 villagers in Malawi are refusing to leave their homes to make room for Madonna's School for Girls!

Even though Madge paid the families $115,000 for taking over the land and the government has offered them government land, the Malawi villagers want to stay put!

Headman Binson Chinkhota has tried to explain to them that the $15 million school will be beneficial to their children, but the 200 Malawians don't seem to be budging.
