Earlier this week we discovered that used maxi pads contain perfect circle-spots of ladyblood, which makes them sorta bio-hazardous and poisonous and therefore very inappropriate for throwing at police officers' faces, as one woman recently learned.

The latest update in the massively gratifying unraveling of Rupert Murdoch's British newspaper holdings: Authorities believe an unnamed executive at News International, News Corporation's British subsidiary, intentionally destroyed "millions of emails" in an attempt to frustrate the criminal investigation into illegal hacking by News of the World reporters and private investigators.

It's summertime, so let's harvest some locally-grown, organic outrage. A Michigan woman is facing up to 93 days in jail for planting a vegetable garden in her own front yard.

Andy Coulson, the former editor of Rupert Murdoch's News of the World and British PM David Cameron's former director of communications, turned himself in to police in London today over the growing phone-hacking scandal. A statement from the Metropolitan Police reads, in part:

The Hollywood Reporter has an interview with Nancy Grace, the fiery legal commenter who has seen some ratings success hosting shows like Casey Anthony Right Now, Target: Casey Anthony, The Casey Anthony Report and Casey Anthony: The Devil in 3D on CAC: the Casey Anthony Channel. (Check your cable listings.) But for those of you who feel she may have, say, crossed an invisible ethical line by exploiting this one case ad nauseam for her own personal and financial gains, make no mistake: She absolutely did. But she says she didn't.

Police have arrested the Picasso Doodle Bandit — who walked into a San Francisco gallery over the July 4th weekend, and walked out with a $200,000 work of art — and surprise! He's from New York. The work has been returned to its rightful owner, and has been unharmed.

A shooting spree in Grand Rapids, Michigan, has left seven dead, including one child. The suspect, 34-year-old Rodrick Dantzler (pictured), is currently holed up in an apartment with at least one hostage.

It's been seen tens of billions of times on countless websites and Facebook. Thanks to credit card fraud, it's generated more revenue than most tech startups. Meet the "1 Tip for a Tiny Belly" con, if you haven't already.

Rhonda Hollander, a traffic magistrate in Florida, was arrested last week after she barged into the men's restroom at the West Regional Courthouse in Broward County and took cell phone pictures of a man peeing at a urinal. That is one seriously kinky fetish!

Though she escaped the death penalty in the trial over her daughter's death, Casey Anthony has been sentenced to four years in jail for lying to police during the investigation into Caylee Anthony's disappearance. A smiling Anthony wore her hair down at today's sentencing hearing—between good behavior and time served, her stay in the slammer may not be much longer. [NYT, image via AP]

An old man named Andrew Castle was sentenced to 10 years in jail for admitting he tried to kill his wife with a homemade electric chair after she asked for a divorce. From the Guardian:

Look who's back in the news! It's Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, the psychopathic German flim-flam man who convinced all of New England society, including the woman who would become his wife and mother to his child, that he was an heir to the Rockefeller estate, as immortalized in the classic Lifetime movie, Mother, May I Sleep With Eric McCormack?

After Casey Anthony's surprise acquittal yesterday for the 2008 murder of daughter Caylee, the warrior wailers of CNN-HLN asked, How could a jury let this "lying, no-good slut" off the hook?

You know those people who are always like "Well, yes, that guy was attacking you, but it was just a fistfight. You had no reason to hit him with that chair"? Man, I can't stand those people. What they don't take into account is that, yes, one punch can totally kill you.

A well-dressed man walked into a San Francisco art gallery, took a $200,000 Picasso drawing off the wall, and walked out of the gallery and escaped in a waiting cab. Was that part of the plan or did we just find the least lucky cab driver/accessory to theft ever?

The murder trial has begun for Brandon McInerney, a high school student from Oxnard, California, who three years ago walked into computer class, sat behind openly gay classmate Larry King, and shot him twice in the back of the head. Opening statements from both sides offered new details about that senseless and horrific case.

Tonight on HLN (aka the Casey Anthony Network), grief pornographer Nancy Grace opened her two-hour broadcast with a predictably angry statement about a Florida jury's decision to acquit Casey Anthony of murdering her two-year-old daughter, Caylee.

While we all wait for Nancy Grace to personally hunt down and murder Casey Anthony, let's not forget the last time we felt outraged about a "not guilty" verdict: When NYPD officers Kenneth Moreno and Franklin Mata were acquitted of charges that Moreno had raped a drunk woman while Mata stood guard. And, in particular let's not miss out on the recently-revealed news that the "rape cops" had "another documented and troubling encounter with an intoxicated young woman."

18-year-old Tyell Morton was arrested for leaving a blow-up sex doll in the bathroom at Rush Consolidated High School in Indiana. Now he could go to prison for eight years. Sure, it was a stupid joke, but that seems a mite harsh.

An 83-year-old Upper East Side woman is up in arms because a rude sanitation worker fined her $100 for throwing a bag of newspapers in one of those green trash cans that can be found on so many New York street corners. But did she do something wrong?
