Things You Wish You Didn't Know - Weekend Round Up

Going through some old stories on the internet, I came across a story of a ten year old girl that was tasered in Arkansas. Also a ten year old boy was tasered in Colorado. So that got me wondering what the youngest person to be tasered is? If you guessed six you would be right. The incident occurred at an elementary school in Miami back in 2004. The other events happened in the last two years.

The border between Israel and the Gaza Strip is heating up again, with the Israeli army killing two insurgents trying to enter Israel on friday. Hamas confirmed they were sent on an operation to attack Israel. In response to earlier rocket attacks the Israeli air force bombed parts of Gaza.
