Florida teen commits suicide broadcasted online via webcam.
A Florida teen committed suicide in front of a live Web cam audience hours after blogging that he was going to overdose on prescription drugs, authorities said Friday.
Abraham Biggs, 19, made his macabre claim on the forum at bodybuilding.com and even posted a suicide note early Wednesday.
Well XM radio changed all of my channels around, but I found a channel of just hair bands, it's my new addiction.

One of my pet peeves is idiotic lawsuits - so this made me laugh:
She should just shut up, be a drunken whore and OD at 35.
Germany: A shoplifter with no arms has walked straight out of a Munich retailer with a 24" television having been assisted to clamp the set to his chest by two other people. It wasn't until later that the missing set was noticed and CCTV reviewed.More after the jump...
"Staff only knew about the theft after they saw one of the display TVs had been taken off its stand. It's hard to believe that the sight of an armless man walking along with a giant TV clamped to his body did not get anyone's attention," said police.
A Minden man, arrested by Dixie Inn authorities after an alligator chased him from his hiding place, has pleaded guilty to theft and resisting an officer.I can think of no other state but Louisiana where an Alligator is credited with nabbing a suspect. More after the jump...
Terry Jones, 23, was arrested September 22, by Dixie Inn Police and charged with misdemeanor theft and resisting an officer. On November 3, Jones was sentenced to serve 30 days for the charge of theft and 20 days for resisting. The sentences are to run concurrent.
On the day of Jones’ arrest, Dixie Inn officers were called to Thirsty’s Liquor Store after employees observed Jones steal a bottle of Grey Goose vodka. When the officers arrived on scene, Jones, who was sitting in a vehicle on the premises, removed his pants and ran across the street where he entered into a bar pit to hide. A short time later, a large alligator prompted Jones’ quick exit from the water.
The Dixie Inn police report states, “Jones had gone into the water and had been hiding in there when a very large alligator appeared and flushed him out of his hiding spot.”
Sherb Sentell, Webster Parish chief assistant district attorney, said the bar pits are home to several large alligators.
“If we had a dog, we could give him a citation or award for his assistance, but an alligator — it would be hard to find him again,” chuckled Sentell. “The Dixie Inn officers were quick to the scene and did an awesome job as always, and we appreciate the alligator’s assistance as well.”
NY Nerd, has decided to take our blog in a new direction, and I agree after a year of political talk we will focus on being more lighthearted, so I give her free reign to post all of the adorable puppy pics, cats getting their heads stuck in shit videos and what ever else her cute little mind comes up with.
But... I want to leave with this.. and I felt it needed to be said.
I am not going to be the douche that says, "Hey, he is not my President"
I will not spend the next 4 years in my parents basement setting up a "ImpeachObama.com" website and trying to sell ObamaHitler shirts on cafepress.
He is our President, the American people have spoken, right or wrong the choice has been made and we have to deal with it for the next 4 years.
We as Republicans should not take this lying down, we need to find out what went wrong and fix it so we are not put in a situation ever again where our choices are a Socialist or an old Washington insider.
I don't look at this as much as an Obama victory but a McCain loss, for all the money spent for all the infomercials for all the promise of hope and change it translated to just over 1 million more votes than Bush got in 2004, and Bush won on the "better of two evils" platform.
So how do we make sure this does not happen again, the Democrat's now have control of the House and Senate and they almost won the majority against a filibuster but the Republicans won some squeakers.
Which brings me to how we can fix it. Obama's biggest strength is that he realized that Americans for the most part are morons, he didn't bog us down with stats, and numbers and reasons and of course facts.
His platform was simple, "Hope and Change" no one knew what the fuck that ment but hey it sounded good.
People didnt want to hear about how Clinton caused the sub-prime mess through his revamping of the community re-investment act, the public didn't care that groups like ACORN and the Rainbow coalition blackmailed huge corporations and threatned to stop the mergers if companies didnt give them a "contribution".
Americans did nothing as we allowed our free speech to be suppressed, our liberties taken away from us and watched as the media brutalized our own people.
Republicans need to revisit their vision, things start at the local level, a senate seat here, a district there, our message needs to be refined and retuned, small goverment works, you can not make a poor person rich by giving them money, but you can make him wealthy by allowing him to grab a hold of the American dream and create his own wealth with out fear that the goverment is going to take it away.
This country is centrist at heart, and we need to get that message out there, we need to let people know that with hard work, with some passion and some determination you can be successful, American's wanted a babysitter for the most part and well we are going to find out unless your sleeping with the sitter its not all it is cracked up to be.
Republicans lost focus, they lost the small "l" libertarians, they lost their message we have 2 years till midterm elections to regain some seats in the senate, and another 2 years to get our message out there and focus on the big picture.
2012 is not a long time away, we can all deal with 4 years of a shitty president but unless we have a message we are looking at 8 years and that... is a scary thing.

That's my final word on this election, so we will be shifting over from politics to more lighthearted stuff.
Take it away NY Nerd.
I cannot control my co-blogger but...for the immediately foreseeable future, my portion of the blog will consist solely of cute animals, rainbows, and silly jokes.
More after the jump...I'm told that we here on Life On Terra Firma are going to be having a Live Blogging of the Election Coverage Event. Not only will I not be participating, I am: a) going to bed early; b) refusing to read or watch any news whatsoever for the next week (or however long it takes for everyone to stop talking about this fucking election); and c) putting the entire US of A in a timeout.
I thought I was sick of this shit before. I thought I had seen and heard every stupid political argument on both sides of the fence. I published posts here on this very blog decrying the lack of civil discussion & talking about my disdain for the two major parties.
But now it's gone too far. Seriously people? You take a blog that is devoted to discussing the daily comics - and not the "serious" ones; not the "political" ones; not the fucking editorial cartoons - just the stupid day to day comics like fucking Hagar the Horrible and Marmaduke and you still are not capable of having a discussion in the Comments Thread that does not disintegrate into political bullshit name-calling. You have defiled my last sanctuary on the internet and I will not have it!
You are ALL in timeout! Go! NOW!! Do not talk to me again until you are ready to discuss the latest Mary Worth's "I'm a busybody" storyline or snark on how depressing Funky Winkerbean is.
It's finally here, so just vote dammit.
(oh and make sure its for McCain)
