The News About The Deadly Poison Ricin Found In Las Vegas Motel Room

A suspicious that preliminary showed to be the deadly poison, ricin was found in a Las Vegas motel room. In proper doses, ricin can be used for cancer treatment and is used in cancer research, but an amount the size of a grain of salt can be deadly.

The man who brought the substance to the manager told police he found it in a suite and it did not belong to him. Three motel employees and another person were quarantined and decontaminated at the site, then taken to hospitals for further testing. Three police officers who had been exposed were also taken to hospitals. It takes between six and eight hours for someone exposed to ricin to show signs of contamination.

The Las Vegas police along with Homeland Security officials and the FBI are investigating the incident, but say they don’t believe it is related to terrorism.

There has been no mention of who could have brought the ricin to the motel and makes me wonder why someone would be carrying it around since it is so toxic. I guess we’ll find out more after all the tests are done.

That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.

The News About Hulk Hogan’s Affair With Daughter’s Friend


As we all know, Hulk Hogan’s wife, Linda filed for divorce last November after 25 years of marriage to the wrestling great. It had seemed the reality show, “Hogan knows Best”, might have had a toll on the marriage, but news has now surfaced of an affair that may have been the cause of the breakup.

It seems that the Hulkster had an affair with a friend of his daughter Brooke. 33-year-old Christiane Plante told The National Enquirer that she had an affair with Hulk Hogan about a year after working with Brooke on her 2006 album. Plante said the couple was already having problems with their marriage at the time and that Linda had already left Hulk. She claims the affair started while she was consoling Hulk Hogan through his problems.

Understandably Brooke is very upset about this and wrote a s scathing post on her Myspace blog, which was later removed.

Hulk Hogan is a big star in the wrestling world and I’m sure he will remain so even through this scandal. It’s to bad he may no longer be a big star in his family’s eyes.

That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.

The News About Michael Jackson Selling Neverland


It looks like Michael Jackson may have to sale his Neverland ranch unless he pays the $24.5 million owed before March 19 when Neverland will be foreclosed and sold. Michael has actually spent very little time at Neverland since he was acquitted of sexually molesting a young boy and plying him with alcohol June of 2005.

Neverland, which Michael Jackson had dressed, up with a private zoo, an amusement park and statues of Peter Pan characters was ordered shuttered and Michael Jackson fined for failing to pay his employees or maintain proper insurance. The zoo animals were also removed.

I would think that Michael has the money to pay the nearly $25 million he owes for Neverland, but I don’t he really cares at this point.

That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.
