Killer Shirt Dude.

T. J. Lane takes off his shirt to show a white t-shirt with the words ''Killer'' spelled out at his sentencing before Geauga County Judge David Fuhry in Cleveland, Ohio March 19, 2013. REUTERS/Duncan Scott/The News-Herald/Pool. J.T. Lane was sentenced to life on Tuesday. In Ohio on February of 2012, he went on a school shooting rampage, killing thee students and wounding three others. On February he plead guilty to the charges brought against him and at the time he was tried as an adult but because he was 17 he was not eligible for the death penalty. On Tuesday he showed up in a light blue button up, and then later shed the button up, revealing a white t-shirt that had "killer" scrawled on the front. The judge in the case said, "He lacked remorse and examinations showed he has feigned mental illness. A bright student set to graduate from high school early, Lane instead planned, prepared for, and then executed the attack." The judge also commented that thee court had not noticed the shirt he was wearing and if he had, the proceedings would have stopped immediately and he would have been forced to put on proper attire. This was one of many incidences that happened in February that has sparked up a proposal for a ban on military style assault weapons and limits on the capacity of magazines.

Lost Continent Found in Indian Ocean

Lion Mountain, in southeast Mauritius.Located 1200 miles east off the coast of Africa lies a tourist destination known as Mauritius. The island was formed more than 9 million years ago from cooling lava. But recently grains of sand were found that are between 660 million to 2 billion years old. Scientist believe that these grains came from an island that has now disappeared, they also believe that islands like Mauritius hold lots of evidence of old land forms.They believe that as this island was forming, a land form above it was drowning. As they collided, the old island left a bit of it's mark on the new island.  Although there is not enough evidence to support this claim, they are still doing more research. This discovery is a bit disturbing because we know more about the geography of mars than our own oceans.
