George Zimmerman has been found not guilty of murdering Trayvon Martin.

A bottle containing a 10-year-old's message to the world was found more than a decade after it was thrown into the ocean, and just over two years after the young woman died. The bottle was found by workers during clean-up from Hurricane Sandy.

Hell hath no fury like an apartment scorched.

A few months ago, the Iowa Supreme Court made the surprising decision that women can be fired from their jobs for being too attractive, regardless if they've engaged in activity that compromises their job performance.

The New York Times spent a year following around female University of Pennsylvania students and came to the shocking conclusion that college-aged women not only have casual sex, but they also like it. Except when they don't. Women, amirite?

I think this is art, but in the words of its singer, I'm so confused. Ola Ray starred with Michael Jackson in the "Thriller" video 30 years ago. In the time since, she appeared in bit parts on shows whose titles were punctuated with exclamation marks like Gimme a Break! and What's Happening Now!, had her drug arrest profiled on A Current Affair and successfully sued Jackson's estate for royalties. Jackson died over four years ago, and Ray has just gotten around to paying tribute to him. The project would be an ignorable clinging to past glory were it not utterly unhinged.

The third victim of the Asiana Airlines flight that crashed in San Francisco last weekend has been revealed as Liu Yipeng. The sixteen-year-old was traveling to the same summer camp as the other two victims of the crash. She died Friday morning after being in critical condition since the accident.

A drunken Goldman Sachs employee, apparently angry over both his job and his dissolving marriage, started shouting racial slurs at a black couple yesterday evening in the West Village yesterday, before he was knocked out cold by a man who was trying to help him.

A supervisor at a white-shoe law firm accused of sexually harassing one of his employees allegedly sent the woman laminated, illustrated erotic poems with lines like, “I enjoy you so. Your thick legs and all of the voluptuous plumpness that accents your womanhood."

Five years after his prostitute-induced fall from grace, Eliot Spitzer is back on the campaign trail. This time, he's got his cold, narrow glare set on the New York City Comptroller's office (the comptroller is the manager of the city's pension funds and a bunch of other financial things, depending on how badly you want to use the office to piss off Michael Bloomberg).

Officials are saying that the Gitmo hunger strike may be coming to an end: 99 of the 103 striking detainees have eaten a hot meal in the last 24 hours and only 45 remain on the force-feeding list. But Wells Dixon, an attorney for Djamel Ameziane, said he would remain “very skeptical” until he hears directly from his client that the strike is over.

A New York City woman trying to bug bomb her hair salon ended up actually bombing the entire building, triggering a collapse that injured a dozen people. Probably not injured at all, dancing around like the gopher in Caddyshack, were the roaches she was trying to kill.

After banning the presence of any female hygiene products from its Senate floor, Texas passed its restrictive abortion law last night, which will ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy as well as install new regulations that will most likely drive abortion clinics out of business.

The National Transportation Safety Board issued a press release this evening acknowledging that a summer intern had erroneously confirmed four fake Asiana pilot names to Bay Area TV station KTVU. The release corroborates KTVU's claim that an NTSB official had confirmed that "Ho Lee Fuk" and "Sum Ting Wong," among others, had been manning Asiana flight 214, which crashed near San Francisco on Saturday.

Two weeks ago we changed the title of our regular hate mail repository to "Far-Flung Correspondence." Keep flinging poop at us, and we'll keep publishing it.

Multi-genre dance producer Diplo's typically loose lips have suggested that Beyoncé has scrapped work she's done on her upcoming album, the creation of which she's been talking about forever (or at least, since January). "Fuckin' thing sucks!" is how I like to imagine King Bey regarding this rejected body of work, but the truth is that she's probably just nodding and grinning serenely about it.

In February, the threat of HISTORIC, EXTREME SNOW whipped Weather.com into such a frothy euphoria that it combusted from within, vomiting broken mountain graphics all over its homepage. Now, the unbearable ecstasy of the final days of Kate Middleton’s pregnancy has driven E! Online—the relentlessly chipper, unnervingly dedicated sophomore class secretary of celebrity news—to the brink of insanity.
