MOTHER HAS THIRD SET OF TWINS AT 500,000:1 ODDSA mother has defied odds of 500,000 to one by giving birth to her third set of twins - baby girls Rowan and Isla.Karen Rodger, 41, and husband Colin, 44, from Langbank in Renfrewshire were "over the moon" at the new arrivals to their family on May 29 at the Southern General Hospital in Glasgow.The girls, who are not identical, were delivered by caesarean section with Rowan arriving first weighing 5lbs 8oz and two minutes later Isla weighing 6lbs.The couple already have four boys - 14-year-olds Lewis and Kyle and Finn and Jude who are both 12 - and were told of the unlikely odds that Mrs Rodger's third pregnancy would be twins.She said: "I just could not believe it. It never crossed my mind that it would be twins again, I just thought that just doesn't happen to people like me but I'm absolutely delighted."Mrs Rodger found out during a scan six weeks into the pregnancy and sent a text with the news to her husband."He thought I was joking and immediately wrote back to say 'this is not funny'. I had to explain that it really was true," she said."I still haven't really taken it on board because I was convinced I was having two boys."The couple are looking to convert the loft of their house into bedrooms for their eldest twins so that the girls can have their own room.Mr Rodger described the arrival of the twins as "life-changing" and said he was looking forward to raising daughters."Boyfriends will be completely unacceptable."I think the girls are going to have five dads with the boys looking out for them too and it will be a frightening gauntlet for any boyfriend to run." - Odd News PARALYZED BY UNKNOWN BEINGSHAWAII - UNEDITED: I was sitting in my living room watching the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. It was a Wednesday night on Oct 2nd 2008 at around 11pm. My wife was lying next to me on the sofa sleeping. The next thing I remember was waking up to myself breathing in and out very deeply and trying to force my eyes open. As I did so, I noticed the light I had on in the kitchen was off and the light in the dining room was on. As I was trying to force my eyes open I noticed two beings standing directly in front of me, but I was too paralyzed to look at their faces. I could only see the tops of their heads. From the height of my TV on its stand, I could tell they stood exactly 4ft tall. I wear glasses, but in this state, I could see perfectly clear. I could see light emitting from the top of their heads in a wavy kind of way and to the right. The beings were snow white in color and their heads appeared very shiny. I was very afraid beyond any fear I have ever felt before in my life. As soon as I blinked, everything was back to normal. The TV was still on, but the show was over. I immediately woke my wife up and told her about what I had experienced. She is a very light sleeper and for her to not wake up from the noise I was making surprised me. I heard two aircraft moving at an extremely rapid speed just above our house fast enough to make the house rattle from its proximity at around 2am. Since that day and still today, Ive noticed a small hole on the tip of my right thumb that will heal and return. Sometimes it would bleed in the mornings and it has yet to go away. - "MUFON CMS"

THE BLOODY BENDERSIn the wake of the Civil War, many Americans headed west, away from the strife of battlefields and burnt cities. If they happened through Kansas and stayed at the inn run by the Bender clan, they were taking their lives into their hands. The Benders were Germanic (the "parents" barely spoke English, and the "children" with an accent), and that is about all that is known of their history. The Benders moved to Kansas in 1870, and established a small inn and general store. There were 4 of them; John Bender Sr., who was 60, Ma Bender, 55, and their children, John Jr., of around 25, and Kate, around 23. What their actual names were, and what their true relationship was to each other (few believe that they were actually blood related), will probably never be revealed.Travelers often carried with them every dime they had, and the Benders soon realized they could grow rich robbing their guests. They arranged a setup wherein guests would sit at the table beneath a trap door. When they least suspected it, the male Benders would sneak up behind them, bludgeon them, and then slash their throats. A drop through the trap door, and the body could be stripped and robbed. Soon corpses began mounting up in the area. At first, the local Indian tribe was blamed, but the when a man and his infant daughter vanished in 1872, his neighbor launched a full scale investigation, and the focus soon landed on the Benders. Suspicions mounted, but before anything could be done, the Benders vanished.A search of the cabin revealed the bloody room beneath the trap door, and nine bodies were found buried on the grounds. It is unknown what the true body count was, but it is probably safe to say there were some corpses that were never found. The story was the rage of the day, and souvenir hunters soon claimed pieces of the cabin for their own. The Benders were mentioned in passing by Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of "Little House on the Prairie". She reported stopping in their store, and claimed her father was involved in the manhunt for the family, although her account has been called into question.Despite a 3,000 reward (an astronomical sum for the day), the Benders were never found or brought to justice. There are dozens of accounts of their eventual fate, with some saying they were caught by vigilantes or committed suicide, others saying they were caught under different names, and still more saying they escaped completely. The Benders are long since dead now, and where their sinister path took them is lost to history. - "Listverse"A Treasury of Victorian Murder: THE BLOODY BENDERSThe Serial Killer Files: The Who, What, Where, How, and Why of the World's Most Terrifying Murderers"
