In News Of The Disabled...

"Blade Runner" Oscar Pistorius, South African paralympic gold medalist known for running on prostheses replacing both feet, has been charged with murder of his girlfriend.

Damn. A week ago, I didn't know Pistorius existed. I discovered him as I searched for information on leg and foot prostheses.

Now he's formally charged with murder. Innocent or guilty, he'll probably find his fleet feet won't help him this time.

(Don't expect a similar story out of Our House...)
