For an image to accompany his “Warrior Syndicate” Internet radio show, alleged cannibal Alexander Kinyua apparently chose a photo of his face covered in green and white war paint.
The show, he said, was for “warriors skilled in combat or warfare … coming together to form a syndicate learning portal for Warrior Clans.”
The web page is part of a disturbing online trove on accounts linked to Kinyua, made all the more chilling by charges from police in Harford County that he admitted this week to killing a 37-year-old man and eating his heart and portions of his brain.

Sports Illustrated: “This season marks the 15-year anniversary of the last time the Orioles finished with a winning record (1997, 98-64). As the 2012 season passes the quarter-mark, Baltimore remains in first place in the AL East. Whether the Orioles stay hot remains to be seen, but it’s hard to argue that they are one of the best stories of the season. In honor of the franchise’s revival, SI presents this collection of classic Baltimore Orioles photos.”

Sarah Finlayson’s morning routine is fairly set. Wake up early. Workout with a trainer. Call her twin sister.
Picking up a hitchhiking John Waters? That’s not part of it. Yet the minister’s wife from Baltimore stopped her Lexus for the filmmaker and gets the credit for launching his cross-country hitchhiking journey.
Finlayson, who’s a 59-year-old wife and mother, was driving down Charles Street, heading home from her workout and chatting on the car phone with her twin sister who lives in Jersey.
As she approached the intersection of Northern Parkway, she thought she saw what she calls “a beggar” peddling with a sign on the corner. But a closer look made her think twice.
“I think I see John Waters,” she gasped to her sister, Mary. She hurriedly turned around in the church parking lot and pulled up to the man and rolled down her window.
“Are you John Waters?” she asked.
“Yep,” he said. “I am.”
“Well what do you need?” she asked.
He told her he needed a ride to the beltway to get onto I-70. She told him to hop in, she’d take him all the way to the interstate since it was raining and all.

Baltimore magician (and self-proclaimed “world’s youngest escape artist”) Spencer Horsman slipped out of a straightjacket and avoided almost certain death on last night’s episode of “America’s Got Talent.”
Horsman, a 26-year-old who runs the South Baltimore bar Illusions with his father, had “America’s Got Talent” host Nick Cannon strap him into a straight-jacket. He then hung upside down, between a set of metal jaws with nasty looking spikes, held open by a rope. The rope was set afire, and Horsman had a minute and 20 seconds to escape before the jaws clamped shut on him.
“Do not try this at home,” Cannon warned as Horsman’s escape began. “This is crazy.”
With the clock ticking and Horsman squirming in his straight-jacket, the judges cringed, recoiled and squealed, afraid they’d have a mess to clean up in a few moments. Horsman escaped in the nick of time.
