Civic hospital confirms 2 victims on way to hospital now; one shot. Both in non-life-threatening condition.

2 victims at hospital. Not sure who, but non-life threatening conditions.
Not sure if they include soldier that was shot in the beginning.

Most likely.

I'm off to get some food quick. Keep this thread updated.

Alright. I'll be working to update the OP over time with updates.

Keep it civil as well people. If you want to debate soldiers, take that to it's own thread.

Attacker shot dead.

Still reports of more than one gunmen near the Parliament building.
Actually after reading some reports, it is believed there are three gunmen. 1 was shot dead, another 2 still at large, but Ottawa is in a lockdown.

Indeed.

At least no one was hurt.

Considering reports are still coming in, I'd hold back on that.

From CNN

There were "numerous gunmen" Wednesday morning at the Canada War Memorial shooting, said Marc Soucy of the Ottawa Police Service. Authorities are working to figure out if there were two or three gunmen, he said. Only one person was shot, Soucy said.

There were "several shooting incidents in downtown Ottawa" on Wednesday morning, police said on Twitter. "Incidents occurred at National War Memorial, near the Rideau Centre and Parliament Hill." All Ottawa police buildings remain on lockdown and are closed to the public, police also said on Twitter.

Not so random...

I agree with the people saying we aren't quite big enough for special recognition of a few members. Give us a bit more time to grow and expand before we look at perks.

Speaking of grow - go recruit people.

Serious / Virtual Autopsy of King Tut

Story



Quote
(CNN) -- King Tutankhamun's golden, mummified remains tell only a partial story of an ancient Egyptian boy king who died under mysterious circumstances.

But a new "virtual autopsy" of King Tut's body, shown in an upcoming BBC One documentary, has given historians a clearer picture of the young man's life -- and death.

Scientists used CT scans to recreate the first life-size image of Tutankhamun, one of the last rulers of the 18th Dynasty. King Tut ruled from 1333 B.C. until about 1323 B.C. Historians put his age at death at about 19.

Research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2010 showed that King Tut may have died of malaria, possibly after suffering an infection in his broken leg. As seen in the new virtual autopsy photo, Tutankhamun's left foot was also severely deformed; the inward angle suggests that he had a clubfoot. Researchers believe the boy king had Kohler disease, a rare bone disorder.

More than 100 walking sticks were found in Tut's tomb; historians originally thought they represented his power, but it's more likely Tut used them to get around.

Albert Zink, head of the Institute for Mummies and Icemen in Italy, told The Independent it would have been impossible for the king to have died while riding a chariot, as has been previously thought.

"We concluded it would not be possible for him, especially with his partially clubbed foot, as he was unable to stand unaided."

Scientists believe genetics and inherited diseases played a role in Tut's bad health because of inbreeding. A genetic analysis of his family's mummies suggests that his parents were siblings.

"Tutankhamun: The Truth Uncovered" will air Sunday on BBC. The Smithsonian will also be showing the documentary on November 2.

Pretty interesting stuff

Ok, both sides really need to drop it.

Deci, stop getting worked up over it, because it only eggs them on.

I agree. I'm listening into the test podcast right now and they just spent 3 minutes talking about frozen cream.

frack me.

Topics and news need to be chosen ahead of time so that it doesn't turn stale, which I believe will be the case next time (the topics chosen, not being stale). IDK, it's workable right now but not really all too interesting.

Yeah, this was just a test to make sure audio picked up, pick up voices, and just get used to talking with each other.
Is it available anywhere yet?

Nah, it's not going to be released. Like I said, this is just testing levels and making sure everyone gets picked up before we officially launch the first episode.
Got a release date you're aiming for?

Likely a week or two.

No politics please.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't only talk about video games. I feel like this podcast could easily fall into that trap category of uninteresting and oversaturated bullshit.

It won't be solely video games.
Not even 50% video games. Like maybe <10% video games.

Then give us topics you want to hear.
