Teen who put bra on antenna faces litter charge
Undergarment ultimately flew off, led to accident in which 2 men were hurt

Updated: 4:11 a.m. ET Oct 15, 2006

TOLEDO, Ohio -A teenager who put her bra on a car antenna before it flew off and led to a highway accident will be charged with littering, a prosecutor said.

Emily Davis, 17, of Bowling Green, told investigators she took her bra off while her friend was driving on Interstate 75.

James Campbell, who was driving behind the girls, said he swerved to avoid the bra and his car flipped several times. Campbell, 37, broke a vertebra in his neck during the Sept. 26 accident. His passenger, Jeff Long, 40, broke several ribs.

A State Highway Patrol crash report, obtained by The Blade, said that the girls told investigators that before the accident the men were motioning to them to lift up their shirts. Both men denied making the gestures. (I can believe the men did that! Not so funny afterwards though! )

Atkins said no other charges were expected.

A gallon of milk sold at Amazon.com. For the record, it is cheaper than my local grocery (unless you include shipping & handling.) Some of the customer reviews are funny.

Doesn't this younger generation know you get 25 extra points if you can snag it on the antenna?

What i would like to know is why this 17 year old was taking off her bra for guys in their late 30s....
Most people i know in that age range are pretty weird and not that good looking for that stuff to happen to them

It's great that Lindsay Lohan has been attending AA meetings for the past year......but odd she states "I feel better not drinking," the star, 20, told People magazine, adding she had not had a drink in seven days.

China's white dolphin called extinct after 20 million years

BEIJING, China (AP) -- An expedition searching for a rare Yangtze River dolphin ended Wednesday without a single sighting and with the team's leader saying one of the world's oldest species was effectively extinct.

The white dolphin known as baiji, shy and nearly blind, dates back some 20 million years. Its disappearance is believed to be the first time in a half-century, since hunting killed off the Caribbean monk seal, that a large aquatic mammal has been driven to extinction.

A few baiji may still exist in their native Yangtze habitat in eastern China but not in sufficient numbers to breed and ward off extinction, said August Pfluger, the Swiss co-leader of the joint Chinese-foreign expedition.

"We have to accept the fact, that the Baiji is functionally extinct. We lost the race," Pfluger said in a statement released by the expedition. "It is a tragedy, a loss not only for China, but for the entire world. We are all incredibly sad."
