 This news blurb is spreading pretty fast all over the internet. I noticed this photo moving up the "Most Emailed" photos list and an hour or so later I noticed more news articles coming out about it. Over at DrudgeReport report they picked it up as well with an additional photo of the toy's face.
Apparently the story goes that someone posted a picture of what they claimed to be a "captured" U.S. soldier to a militant website. However, the US military is reporting that none of their units have reported any mission soldiers. At some point one a spokesman from Dragon Modals USA noticed that the soldier in the photo looked a lot like their "Cody" toy. Only about 4,000 of the toys were made in 2003 for the US military and sold in it's Kuwait bases. When you look at the photo and at a photo of the "Cody" toy they really look a lot alike. DrudgeReport has a closeup of the toy face. You can read the article about the Cody toy on Yahoo and check out the two different pictures that Yahoo has of the apparent toy hoax. View the captured soldier "hoax" photo next to the Cody toy and view a larger close up version of the apparent captured soldier toy photo hoax. Source: Yahoo

Now here is a car accident that you don't see everyday. In this accident, a truck hauling 50,000 pounds of soybeans turned over and dumped them on this 1995 Firebird. It happened in Clarksville, TN but no date is given. Check out the soybeans coming out of the passenger door. It looks like the whole inside of the car was full of soybeans until they opened the door. I can't tell if the Firebird was parked or if was driving along when the truck overturned on it. If I were to guess I would say that the Firebird was parked when the soybeans got dumped on it.
All I am going to say about this photo is that there are a lot of people with dirty minds passing it around at work. It has been the top emailed photo on Yahoo for maybe 5 days now. The caption for the photo is two Bulgarians performing free skate dance routine at the World Figure Skating Championships in Moscow. Make sure you click through and view the larger image so you can really see the expressions on the skaters faces. Classic. 
Apparently a baby named Manar Maged was born in Egypt with a rare birth defect. The syndrome is called craniopagus parasiticus and is related to conjoined twins linked a the skull. Doctors waited until Manar Maged was around 10 months old before carrying out the operation of removing the second head from the baby. The operation took 13 hours and 13 doctors to complete and it could take up to 10 days before the baby is released from intensive care. Manar apparently also has a seperate twin sister who is doing fine as well.
The most emailed photo on Yahoo right now is the photo of Milagros Cerron who is a nine month old baby in Peru who was born with her legs fused togather. Apparently doctors say the baby will have surgury this month to try and seperate her fused legs. The condition is called sirenomelia or mermaid syndrom and around one in sixty thousand people arm born with it. Most of the people born with it do not live more than a few hours and Milagros is nine months old. Apparently an American named Tiffany Yorks who is now 16 also had the mermaid syndrom and it was corrected when she was a few months old.
Apparently there is a grave stone in a cemetery in Ramle, Israel with the name "Harry Potter" on it. The grave is for a 19 year old British soldier who was killed in fighting in the West Bank 66 years ago. The article goes on to say that fans of the Harry Potter books and movies have been visiting the grave in droves. At first the caretaker of the cemetery couldn't figure it out until he learned of the books and movies with the Harry Potter name (he must live under a rock). The local council has now added the Harry Potter grave stone site to the official tourist guide for the town. There you have it. Harry Potter died 66 years ago at age 19. I guess we know how the books end now.
