A Russian immigrant living in Virginia was beaten to death with a rock on Thursday when he declined to buy some religious CDs offered to him. The incident took place at a highway rest stop in New Jersey when Brian K. White, approached Michail Makerenko,77, as he was standing by his car. According to reports, White wanted to sell a religious CD to him but Makerenko declined to buy it saying he doesn't need any. This apparently annoyed White, who picked up a rock and struck Makerenko in his head causing fatal blows. White then fled in his white Camaro but was followed by a witness and caught after a 90 mile chase by police.

Twinkie - the yellow outside and creamy inside cakes can make your mouth water at their first sight, but a book "Twinkie, Deconstructed" suggests there some more that one should learn. The author of the book Steve Ettlinger says he was taken to multiple locations, including phosphate mines in Idaho to gypsum mines in Oklahoma, as he searched for the origins of ingredients of the Hostess Twinkie. Ettlinger found that one of the Twinkie's ingredients is Calcium Sulphate, a substance that could transform into plaster if water is extracted out from it.

A two-carat diamond has been found nearly two years after a man nabbed it from a jewelry store. The catch: the colorless stone which is estimated to be worth $25,000 has been found stuck in the shower drain at the same prison where the man accused of stealing it was serving his sentence. Bret Allen Langford, 39, was arrested in April 2005 for stealing the diamond at a Jewelry Express store. The diamond had never been recovered, until this week, when an investigator representing Langford told jail officials to search the jailhouse drains.
