Anders Behring Breivik - Norwegian Killer

Anders Behring Breivik - the gunman who killed 77 people last summer in Oslo and Utoya Island was scheduled to go on trial today. He admitted to planting a car bomb that killed 8 people at Oslo government headquarters last July, then killing 69 in a shooting spree at a summer youth camp, claiming he had acted to defend his country against Muslims! If found sane he faces a maximum 21-year sentence but he could be held indefinitely if he is considered a continuing danger. (news source)
The trial is scheduled to last 10 weeks and has raised fears that it could reopen wounds in the normally peaceful Norway. His propaganda video was played in court at which point he seemed to have been in tears. I think that's just him crying for himself and not the victims.
My deepest condolences go out to the families of the victims and i personally hope he spends longer than 21 years in jail - better yet, 21 years for each victim! I will update with the verdict as soon as there is one.

Hamsters!

To cut the long story short, i have adopted 2 hamsters. How i came about them is just too boring of a tale, so i'll spare you the grief :)

I couldn't get a picture because they wouldn't stay still... they act like firecrackers going off. So instead of taking pictures, i decided to make a video. As soon as they saw me coming, they tried to hide. Btw, the cage is not as small as it looks in the video, it's the angle i took it from.
