I don’t know what’s going on in China, but lately it seems that a lot of Chinese have made a hobby out of making terribly bad decisions. I’m talking about the kid who sold his kidney to buy an iPad and the girl who announced that she’s trading her virginity for an iPhone. I’m also talking about this young couple who met in an internet café, had three children, and then sold all of them to get money to play online games.

The parents, who are both under 21, had two sons and a daughter which they sold for $10,000 (the boys for $4,600 each, the girl for $500).

When asked if they missed their children, the parents answered, “We don’t want to raise them, we just want to sell them for some money.”

Now, some may say the children are better off being away from their parents, given how stupid/addicted to online gaming they are, but the sad truth is that the people going around buying Chinese babies on the black market don’t do so out of love.

Not long after a bomb exploded earlier today in Norway’s capital, Oslo, a gunman dressed as a police officer opened fire on a nearby island youth camp where Norway’s Prime Minister was attending the yearly gathering of his party’s youth.

The Oslo bomb has 7 confirmed kills while the island shooting is believed to have killed around 30 at least 80 people.

If you’re living in Oslo or know someone who is and you’re worried about their safety, this is the information hotline: (+47) 815 02 800. Also, if you’re a witness or have any other information that could help the police in their investigation, call this number: (+47) 22 66 99 66.

This graph by Leon Håland illustrates just how insanely explosive Google+’s growth is. After seeing it you might think Facebook is as good as dead, but that couldn’t be farther away from the reality of this situation. Why? Because even though the growth of Google+ really is insane, the graph ignores one hugely important aspect: how many people knew these brands when they launched their services.

Facebook started out of a dorm room and Twitter was created by a Norse God (I have no idea how Twitter got started), while Google+ came from an internet giant known by virtually everyone who ever owned a computer.

Now, I’m not saying Google+ doesn’t deserve to grow this fast, because it is a great service, but comparing its initial growth rate with that of Facebook and Twitter is a bit silly.

In the next movie of the series, director Christopher Nolan will reveal Batman’s best kept secret. He’s a baby unicorn.

Your mind: blown.
