Not speechless. Just very, very sad.

Yes, and as some were physically disabled which would make evacuation difficult.

An elderly woman has died after a group of teenagers threw stones at her home, smashing a glass door panel.

Joyce Moulson collapsed about 10 minutes after youths attacked her home on Fair Road, in the Wibsey area of Bradford, on Tuesday night.

The 84-year-old died later at Bradford Royal Infirmary.

West Yorkshire Police said four boys, two aged 12 and two aged 13, had been arrested and were being questioned on suspicion of manslaughter.

Do you love Twitter enough to pay tribute to it with your baby’s name?

Well that’s just what proud new parents the Jamesons have reportedly done. The pair announced the arrival of their baby daughter ‘Hashtag’ on social networking site Facebook, despite their clear nod to the other social media giant – Twitter.

Not a 'speechless' story, but a hopelessly depressing one. This poor, doomed little girl, abused by her parents (who are now in jail) ends up being brutally murdered by a psychotic scumbag father at her so-called 'friend's' house...

Not speechless, but just so very, very, sad for these poor people.

That is very sad.

This one on the BBC news homepage didn't leave me speechless, but it did make me smile -

Bizarrely big black hole baffles

[Tonyblack]

I think you forgot a link to that story.

[Jack Remillard]

Possibly. Though the BBC always seem to use a 'sensible' headline on the actual article page.

They reel you in with promises of baffled boffins, and it's just some boring galaxy a gerjillion miles away. Typical!

Susan Warren, 53, of Elyria, Ohio, said she was driving in nearby Westlake and "wanted something to do."

According to Westlake police, she broke into a house ... and cleaned it.

She washed dishes, took out the trash, vacuumed, and dusted -- and then left a bill for her services, written on a napkin and including her phone number, asking for $75.

Warren, who owns a cleaning service, was upset that she was charged with burglary. She says she has "sometimes" done this at homes in the past, and complained that the homeowner "overreacted" by calling police.

Warren, who has been dubbed the "Cleaning Fairy", pleaded guilty to a reduced charge -- attempted burglary -- and has at least one other similar case pending against her.

She has previous convictions for disorderly conduct, failure to register as a solicitor, and criminal trespass.

Did they give an address for this woman? Surely her personal details are on file somewhere in the court records...

Sounds almost like a Discworld anti-crime.
