And lastly, several stories in one go

Put YOUR slogan on someone’s lower back with ImageChef (via Lifehacker).

Spell your name in alphabet soup. Turn your slogan into a neon sign. Give your loved one a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. These are just a few of the cool images you can cook up with ImageChef.

Then, if you think YOU’RE a Mac fanboy or fangirl, check out this guy’s OS X Dock pillows (via MAKE’s blog).

I particularly like the Finder one, myself. Next up, China manages to kill off the white dolphin after twenty million years (via CNN):

An expedition searching for a rare Yangtze River dolphin ended Wednesday without a single sighting and with the team’s leader saying one of the world’s oldest species was effectively extinct.

The white dolphin known as baiji, shy and nearly blind, dates back some 20 million years. Its disappearance is believed to be the first time in a half-century, since hunting killed off the Caribbean monk seal, that a large aquatic mammal has been driven to extinction.

And last but not least, someone’s killing English hookers (also via CNN):

Police in eastern England are combing through rural areas hoping to find out who is behind the suspected killings of five women — all believed to be prostitutes — that may be the work of a lone serial killer.

Prostitutes were on Wednesday warned to stay off the streets of the Suffolk city of Ipswich, fearing the killer or killers could strike again.

“I’m not sure what starker message there can be at the moment: Certainly three of their peer group have been murdered, now potentially another two,” Chief Supt. Stewart Gull of Suffolk police said.

“Clearly it’s not safe, they need to stay off the streets.”

A Jack the Ripper wannabe? Maybe!
