Milk chugging contest quenches Seniors’ thirst for victory

Raising their arms in triumph, the mighty Spartans of the milk-drinking competition chugged down their baby bottles in a ferocious battle of the classes. One girl and one boy representative from each grade was seated on a platform, where the girls squeezed milk out of pink and blue bottles into the mouths of their male counterparts. The catch: the boys, who were seated on the girls’ laps, could not touch the bottle. The first team to empty the bottle won the most points for their class.

Yassir Arafat and the HIV mystery

Yassir Arafat’s official reason for death has long been recognized as poison, which until recently, was the only reason for his death. According to news reports, Arafat may also have had HIV, the virus that AIDS mutates from, before his death. Conflicting admissions from Arafat’s former doctor, terrorists inside of PLO and other officials, along with the confidentiality of the autopsy report on Arafat make it hard to know the truth. "When Abu Mazen came to Damascus with his team, I asked them: 'What happened to the investigation into the death of Abu Amar [Arafat's nom de guerre]? The Israelis killed him. He was my colleague ever since 1965 and used to sleep at my home. He and I followed the same path,'" Secretary-general of the Palestinian Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command Ahmed Jibril said. "They were silent, and then one of them said to me: 'To be honest, the French gave us the medical report, that stated that the cause of Abu Ammar's death was AIDS.' I am not saying this, they did."

Doctors suspected in Scotland bombings

Another explosion was nearly witnessed in Scotland only a day after London found itself in the same ordeal. A Jeep Cherokee was driven through panes of glass at a Scottish airport, nearly hitting those checking in for their flights. One of the men who were in the vehicle is reported to have lit himself on fire and was taken in by police having suffered severe burns to his body. He and the other man who was arrested are suspected of attempting to bomb the terminal, deduced from the materials found inside the SUV. Both were reported on July 2 to be doctors. At least one of the detained men is confirmed to have worked at a British hospital.
