Orca trainer dies because killer whales are giant animals and Humans cannot breathe underwater

Media_httpmsnbcmedia1_ipdlq

In other news the trainer of an extremely poisonous jellyfish at the same facility was almost stung to death recently, even though he had been training with the same jellyfish for weeks and had formed a 'special-bond' with it!! Apparently the jellyfish became agitated when forced to jump through a flaming hoop.

Pro Tip: If an animal has the word "killer" in it's colloquial name you probably should skip the whole making friends bit...

How can it take 15 minutes to install the PyDev plugin? All the time displaying endless dialogs about things no human should ever need to care about.

BBC Sport - Vancouver 2010 - Olympic luger Nodar Kumaritashvili dies after crash

The death of a luge competitor who left the track at high speed has cast a shadow over the Winter Olympics in Canada ahead of the opening ceremony.

Georgian Nodar Kumaritashvili's sled flipped and he smashed into a steel pole at the Whistler Sliding Centre, killing the 21-year-old.

It happened hours before the ceremony to open the Vancouver Games.

Georgia confirmed they will compete in the Games as a tribute to him and will march as scheduled at the ceremony.

Kumaritashvili's sled struck the inside of the track's last turn during his sixth and final training run, sending his body into the air and over a concrete wall.

His sled remained on the track, and the visor from his helmet appeared to continue down the ice.

Who designed this crap? Unpadded steel beams on the side of the track? I mean, WTF? These guys travel at over 90Km/h!

The poor guy might have survived if there had been plastic barriers or something on that corner. Not good enough. :-(
