MAN PULLED OVER FOR TRUCK'S 'TESTICLES': The Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office in South Carolina said that a deputy pulled over a truck driver who had false testicles hanging from the vehicle's rear bumper. The driver of the silver truck agreed to remove the flesh-colored decoration but was arrested and charged for driving without a license, and given a warning about the "obscene display."

A Harvard scientist has collaborated with a French designer to create a portable mouth spray, called WA/HH Quantum Sensations, that gets users instantly drunk -- although it only lasts for a few seconds. The system, which was presented at a French exhibition, sprays a small amount of alcohol directly into the users' system, creating the brief buzz and leaving behind no hangover. George Fox at CBS News speculated on why someone might want to use this spray, stating, "Maybe it's just a curiosity. Maybe somebody who doesn't drink needs a few moments of 'liquid courage' in order to talk to a cute guy or girl at the bar." Distribution details aren't yet available, but The Week says the spray will reportedly cost $26.

If you aren't into shagging.... you can always just send a donation to InDwellings! They are very close to meeting their $$$ goals to build these homes for the men and women of our community! www.Indwellings.org Oh, and if you were wondering.... yes, Jill Cogdill is Michael Cogdill's wife.
Here is more information and answers to a couple of your questions.
What is projected to be built? Two adult group homes -- one home for women and one for men -- are to be built on land generously donated by The Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina in Easley. Each home, approximately 2,400 square feet, will match the architecture of the guest houses on the Easley campus. The interior design of each home will meet all state and federal requirements.
Why are we building these homes? We are building these homes because there is a crying need for such care for adults with special needs. Waiting lists for state-managed homes are years long. But more than meeting an urgent need, these homes will provide a loving environment for adults with special needs. InDwellings, a faith-based initiative of Foothills Presbytery and the Presbyterian Church (USA), will work diligently to ensure that our residents experience God's grace and love as they achieve their human potential in the context of a caring home.

HELP JASON DERULO CREATE A SONG: Jason Derulo is calling on his fans to help him create a song for the American Idol finale. Jason and the Coca-Cola Perfect Harmony initiative are joining together to give a voice to artists who might not have the best singing voice. Jason said, "I've written songs for some of the most recognized performers in music today and no matter how talented an artist is, a hit song is always a collaborative effort. From the producers to the writers to the talent performing the song, music comes to life as thanks to a team effort, which is exactly what Coca-Cola Perfect Harmony is all about. I can't wait to collaborate with all of the IDOL fans out there to create a new song." The song will be performed onstage at the American Idol finale. May 22, 8pm on Fox.
A 69-year-old man in Paradise, California said a bear saved him from a mountain lion attack. Robert Biggs had no idea that, while he watched a mother bear with her cub, he was being stalked by a mountain lion at the same time. He explained, "[The lion] grabbed me from behind and knocked me to the ground. I was on my knees. I had my rock pick out because i was on a steep incline, and I smashed the cat in the head with it. He screamed, but he didn't let go." He continued, "That's when a blur on my left side grabbed the lion by its throat -- turns out it was the momma bear. I heard a tremendous screeching, some growling noises." The two animals duked it out for less than a minute before the cat ran away. Biggs said, "I'm 100-percent sure it did want to save my life. We made eye contact. I'd seen the bears before and I know she knew who I was." (Huffington Post)
Okay, that last line a little bizarre... but the guy is still with us today!
I received an email today saying I had ordered 3 packages of shipping labels from the USPS. I DID NOT. So I visited the USPS website; www.usps.com and this is the letter that is posted online:
BEWARE OF SPAM!
BOGUS DELIVERY MESSAGES E-MAILED TO
POSTAL CUSTOMERS
Some postal customers are receiving bogus e-mails about a package delivery. The e-mails
contain a link that, when opened, installs a malicious virus that can steal personal information
from your PC.
The e-mails claim to be from the U.S. Postal Service and contain fraudulent information about an
attempted or intercepted package delivery. You are instructed to click on a link to find out when
you can expect your delivery. But Postal Inspectors warn: Do not click on the link!
Like most viruses sent by e-mail, clicking on the link will activate a virus that can steal
information—such as your user name, password, and financial account information.
What to do? Simply delete the message without taking any further action. The Postal Inspection
Service is working hard to resolve the issue and shut down the malicious program.
If you have questions about a suspicious postal email or wish to report spam, contact the
Postal Inspection Service at spam@uspis.gov.
Since the letter is a pdf form, I could not copy and paste the original letterhead.
