This world of ours 2

In international news, the humanitarian situation in Sudan's Darfur region is as bad as it's ever been, China has been harvesting the organs of executed prisoners, Saddam Husein obviously isn't innocent but his trial continues nonetheless, the price of barrels of oil have hit new records in parts of the world, the US is saying that the world is safer despite over ten thousand terrorist attacks in '05, and a survivor of the Rwandan genocide tells her story to the BBC, saying, "In the years since the genocide, I have been very sick and constantly in pain. I live on pain killers - I'm always on medication. [...] I can't forgive the people that did this to me. It is impossible. [...] The wounds that are inside me will, I guess, always be there."

In other news: wetlands are "rebounding" now that golf course water hazards (and similar bodies) now qualify as wetlands (though by past definitions they're declining), recent studies suggest that gender equality could mean better sexual relationships, Intel-based Macs can now run Windows and Linux (dogs and cats living together- mass hysteria!), the Silent Hill movie had a good opening weekend despite poor ratings from a vast majority of critics, and, ironically enough, a family that doesn't even own a computer is being sued by the RIAA.
7. Wetlands Rebound, but Wait, So Do Golf Course Ponds
8. Quality of sex life linked to equality
9. Apple unveils software to permit Windows use
10. Spooky thriller tops box office

Web upon latticed web,
Step after step,
The feet of
Entangled footsteps
Aggregate and depart.
