Oscar Pistorius
What a week. Firstly the Oscar Pistorius trial took a turn for the grisly as the pathologist was called in to give evidence about the wounds that killed Reeva Steenkamp.
We’ve summarised what we know so far, and we’ve also found a handy guide to understanding blood spatter(not splatter, apparently) for all those of you who wish they could be in CSI: Pretoria.
All of this evidence took its toll on Oscar, who became physically, violently ill for several hours of testimony. We explain why, and we’ve also taken an inside look into the gun-toting, 260-kmh- driving lifestyle that is supposedly behind the crime.
Then there was the plane that mysteriously disappeared between Malaysia and China. We’ve explained why planes crash, but we don’t actually know that it crashed. We don’t really know anything, which is what’s making the mystery so compelling.
So much drama can really work someone up, and this can really mess with your sleeping patterns. Fortunately, we’ve stumbled across one of the strangest, simplest supposed cures for insomnia.
A new style of video is doing the round on Twitter which claims that simple acts such as crinkling cellophane or playing with Lego can actually put your brain in an orgasmic state.
The after-effects of these videos are often relaxing enough to put watchers straight to sleep. Watch a few and see how you fare.
The ever-changing Paleo-Banting-Tim Noakes debate has cropped up again this week as we look at how, regardless of what it does to your waistline, it could be revolutionising your hair, skin and nails.
On a more serious note, we’ve also been looking at the practice of canned lion hunting, which South Africa has become a hot destination for.
This abominable practice has hit the headlines and Saturday will see a worldwide march to fight against it. Have your say here.
Here’s to next week being more relaxing.
