DETROIT WOMAN GIVES BIRTH TO HER 14TH CHILD FROM 14 DIFFERENT FATHERS

A 36-year old woman from Michigan has made a crashing entrance into the Guinness Book of World Records yesterday at the Harper University Hospital, by giving birth to her 14th child, all born from different fathers.

According to the internationally recognized authority on the cataloguing and verification of world records, Anita Sullivan has just become the first woman in recorded history to conceive children with more than thirteen different men.

“I’m extremely proud to have broken a World Record,” Ms. Sullivan told reporters. “My mother always told me that I was lazy and worthless, and that I would never accomplish anything in my life. Now, I’ve shown everyone that she was wrong, and that I can even be the best in the world when I put my mind to something. In fact, I’ve just accomplished something that no one had done before!”

Facebook, Google, and Twitter support Apple in its war with the FBI

Apple is going to war with the FBI.

The bureau wants the Cupertino, California, tech company to help it unlock an iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters. But Apple refuses, arguing that doing so would set a dangerous precedent and make all its users less safe.

Battle lines are being drawn. On one side, those who argue that Apple has a duty to aid law enforcement in any way it can, and on the other, those who fear that the case risks setting a dangerous precedent — that companies can be forced to hack their users.

Here's what the tech industry is saying:

Manny Pacquiao, after being dropped by Nike, posts Bible verse that says men who have sex with men ‘are to be put to death’

Following up on his belief that people in same-sex relationships are “worse than animals,” Manny Pacquiao reportedly quoted a bible verse on Instagram that says two men who have sex with each other “are to be put to death."

The boxer — who was dropped by Nike on Wednesday — posted, then deleted, Leviticus 20:13, according to ABS CBN News, writing “If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.”

The post had more than 18,000 likes and was up for roughly two hours before it was deleted, ABS CBN reported. It also said that Pacquiao denied quoting the verse in 2012, stating that he had a gay relative but was against same-sex marriage because it is the word of God.

Pacquiao also quoted another verse in the deleted post that seemingly was directed at criticism he’s received for his views.

Quoting Luke 6:22-23, he wrote “Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son Of Man. … Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.”

A convicted New Jersey murderer has admitted killing his mother just two days after being released from serving a 30-year sentence for killing a neighbor.
