In Berlin Germany, Authorities have taken custody of a 7-month-old baby after his parents posted an auction in eBay offering to sell the child for 1 EURO which is equivalent to 1.57 US Dollars.

Peter Hieber, a spokesman for police in the Bavarian town of Krumbach, said the baby was placed in the care of youth services in the southwestern Allgaeu region, although the child’s 23-year-old mother insisted that the ad was only a joke.

The ad stated “Offering my nearly new baby for sale, as it has gotten too loud. It is a male baby, nearly 28 inches (70 cm) long and can be used either in a baby carrier or a stroller” . Police added the mother ended her posting with bold letters asking; “For serious bidders only”.

Authorities have launched an investigation into possible child trafficking against the baby’s mother and 24-year-old father, neither of whom was identified and that they could be facing up to 5 years imprisonment.

No offers were made for the child. The ad lasted for two hours and 30 minutes and eBay later deleted the posting but assisted police in tracking down the parents.

My YouTube video for Masked Rider Black!

He was one of my Favorite Heroes when I was a kid. In Japan he is known as Kamen Rider. Back then, i planned to own a motorcycle and make it look like Battle Hopper - the living motorcycle of Masked Rider. He was just like David Hasselhoff’s Ford Mustang Shelby “Knight 2000″ and the onboard computer named “KITT” all in one.

Before Masked Rider / Kamen Rider came out, there were a lot more Rider Shows in Japan. April 1971 was the debut of the TV Show Kamen Rider. It was the second most popular show in Japan after the Ultras.

Here are the Kamen Riders so far:

Kamen Rider One
Kamen Rider Two
Kamen Rider V3
Riderman
Kamen Rider X
Kamen Rider Amazon
Kamen Rider Stronger
Skyrider
Kamen Rider Super-1
Kamen Rider ZX
Kamen Rider Black
Kamen Rider Black RX
Shin Kamen Rider
Kamen Rider ZO
Kamen Rider J
Kamen Rider Kuuga

Oklahoma Tornado

May 2008 Oklahoma Tornado

Survivors sifted through what little was left of their communities on Sunday after tornadoes tore across several states leaving a trail of death and destruction. Tornadoes caused at least 22 deaths in three states.

Picher, Oklahoma was particularly hard hit. The twister devastated a 20-square-block area. Picher was once a busling mining center that had a population of 20,000 that dwindled to over 800 as families fled due to lead pollution. Piles of mine waste, or chat, have long towered over the town across a highway from the devastated neighborhood; they’re now peppered with debris from homes flattened by the tornado.

Residents say the tornado created a surreal scene as it moved through Picher. Overturning cars and throwing house hold debris high into the canopy of trees. One survivor said she could barely recognize her own town.

“This is utterly devastating. This is just like a bomb dropped out of the sky and hit and just destroyed everything in its path,” Picher Police Lt. George Brown said.

The storm then moved into Missouri claiming more homes and lives across a mile-wide path of destruction. In many cases residents said they had no warning that tornadoes were approaching.

“It was clear, there weren’t any clouds, there wasn’t any rain. And we sat back down and was talking a little bit longer and It just kept getting louder. And it hit,” one witness said.

The twister killed 15 people in three southwest Missouri counties. Authorities say the death toll could rise.

More than three dozen tornadoes moved across the South and Midwest this weekend, in what has been the most volatile tornado season in decades. Twisters have claimed more lives so far this year than in all of 2007.
