Markus Alexej Persson, a swedish game programmer and designer known widely in the video gaming community as Notch or xNotch, disappeared last night on Wednesday, December 20th due to mysterious circumstances. Authorities have no comment on what may have happened, and friends and family of Persson are baffled by his sudden absence.

Persson's most popular creation is the survival sandbox game Minecraft, which was released on 18 November 2011.[16] Persson left his job as a game developer to work on Minecraft full-time until completion. In early 2011, Mojang AB sold their one millionth copy of the game, several months later their second, and several more their third.

Persson was born in Stockholm, Sweden, to a Finnish mother and a Swedish father on June 1st, 1979. He lived in Edsbyn for the first seven years of his life before his family moved back to Stockholm. He began programming on his father's Commodore 128 home computer at the age of seven. Having experimented with various type-in programs he produced his first game at the age of eight.

Persson is a member of the Swedish chapter of Mensa and also makes electronica music.
On 13 August 2011, Persson married Elin Zetterstrand, who goes by the nickname "Ez" in the Minecraft community.

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
