Hair could reveal travels

New Scientist;"Tracking the recent whereabouts of suspected criminals or uncovering the true origins of asylum-seeking immigrants might come down to a single hair, says a researcher. Colleagues at the University of Reading are testing a new method of determining where people have lived by measuring the ratios of oxygen and hydrogen isotopes in their tissues or fluids. The isotopes, absorbed into the body from water, have predictable values for different local areas and leave a telltale signature in tissues. Hair is particularly good because it grows about a centimetre a month, So it actually grows a record of not only where you have been but what you have been eating and drinking. Says the technology could assist police investigations and potentially help immigration officials to decide whether people seeking asylum are arriving from appropriate countries. We’re not going to get a postcode. It will only get as far as a regional level, but that may be good enough for some cases. Distinct local patterns The method is based on the ratio of two sets of naturally occurring isotopes, oxygen-16 and oxygen-18, and hydrogen and deuterium. Plants and animals alike absorb a distinct local pattern of isotopes from the water and food they consume. Because each isotope differs in its atomic weight, the ratio of each pair can be easily measured by mass spectroscopy and compared to published local values. Researchers from many areas of science have used these isotopes for years to investigate everything from the source of air pollution to how far butterflies migrate. But this is one of the first applications of the method to living human beings. Reachers are currently conducting trials to figure out how the isotopes migrate from food to tissue samples. They are tracking the dietary habits of volunteers to develop a reference index of human isotope ratios and the places or foods they correspond to. They also want to extend the trials to include officers in the high commission of foreign countries. The technique, however, could fail for several reasons. For example, if test subjects drink large amounts of bottled water, the isotope signature could resemble the water’s foreign source more than their current residence. Frequent travelers would also be hard to pin down. But despite the potential pitfalls of the procedure, it would be a boon to criminal investigation units. It would be a cheap and fairly rapid technique, that’s really important to a police investigation."

I think this would be a really good thing in a lot of ways it would help us on cutting down on a lot of unsolved crimes and would be dangers. But it could also be a bad thing, because it takes away from the private way we all like to live, and we all know that even in tests like this not everything is 100% things could come up wrong. I have heard of people losing -Jobs, freedom and other things because of a DNA-testing and it was read wrong by a lab.

DUI horse-and-buggy

RIGA, Latvia -- Police in eastern Latvia were trying to determine what charges to bring against a drunken horse-and-buggy driver who caused a drunken motorist to crash into a ditch, flipping his car. The accident happened just before midnight Monday near Kraslava, 140 miles east of the Latvian capital, Riga. The driver of the horse-and-buggy made an illegal turn onto a main road when he should have yielded to an oncoming car, said Kraslava police spokeswoman Ingrida Nevedomska. To avoid crashing into the horse-and-buggy, the driver of the car, a Volkswagen Golf, veered into a roadside ditch, flipping his car, Nevedomska said. The driver was not seriously hurt. Police, who did not release the names of the drivers, administered breathalyzer tests and determined they were both legally drunk, Kraslava traffic police chief Uldis Ornicans said The driver of the car was fined $830 and had his license revoked. But police were unsure what to do about the horse-and-buggy driver -- only motor vehicles and bicycles are covered under the country's drunk driving laws. "How do you ticket a guy driving a horse-and-buggy?" Nemedomska said. Ornicans said the man at the reins would probably be charged with having caused an accident but declined to specify what penalties he might face. As for the horse, Nevedomska said, it seemed sober."

Okay? How does the poor horse feel about this? He was made to comment a crime and could of been killed!! Poor animal, but this is a first for me never heard of a drunker buggy-driver in the year 2004'

Dinosaurs doting parents

New Scientist;" A fossil of one adult Psittacosaurus dinosaur surrounded by 34 juveniles has provided the most compelling evidence to date that dinosaurs raised their young after hatching. Previously discovered fossils of teeth found at the same site in China from Allosaurus dinosaurs of differing ages, and fossils of groups of young Maiasaura have hinted that dinosaurs may have indulged in parental care. But what makes this 125-million-year old fossil find from Liaoning province more convincing is that the skeletons are complete, and crowded together in life-like positions with their legs tucked under and heads raised, indicating that they were buried alive rather than swept together after death. Psittacosaurus are herbivorous dinosaurs, about one metre long, with parrot-like beaks and cheek horns. The newly unearthed juveniles are about a quarter of the length of the adult, and far bigger than hatchlings. This suggests that the adult had tended them for some time, says David Varricchio of Montana State University in Bozeman, US, who examined the ancient remains with Jinyuan Liu of the Dalian Natural History Museum, China, and colleagues. “It looks like a creche,” says Chris Daniels, an evolutionary biologist at Adelaide University, Australia. “It would be unlikely that one or two adults could provide food for so many youngsters.” Caring for young in creches is a type of parenting behaviour seen in animals such as Emperor penguins in which a few adults tend chicks from several families, while the parents collect food. Birds and crocodilians, which also invest time and effort raising their offspring, share a common ancestor with dinosaurs, so the new finding suggests that sophisticated parenting is an ancient behaviour that evolved just once in these animals, rather than twice."

I found this to be quite a pleasure to read, why because it goes to show that it don't matter what type of animal you are. You still have a great need as a parent of your off-spring to protect and feed them. Also we really don't know that much about things in our past but what we find thru diggs and research. And the fact that they are always finding new facts makes it worth reading to me. I hope you enjoyed reading it also.

Man Tried To Sell 200-year Old Skull On E-Bay

NBC-6;"A California man has been charged with trying to sell the 200-year-old skull of a Hawaiian native on e-Bay. Jerry David Hasson is accused of violating the Archaeological Resources Protection Act, a federal law that protects archaeological finds. Authorities contend he put the skeletal remains on sale on eBay in February, claiming the warrior died on Maui in the 1790s. On the site, Hasson allegedly claimed he found the skull and other remains on a Hawaiian beach. An undercover agent with the Bureau of Indian Affairs arranged to buy the skull. An anthropologist determined the skull was that of an adult female of Polynesian ancestry who was around 50 when she died. Hasson could face up to five years in prison and a 250-thousand-dollar fine."

Well just goes to tell you, what you can find on E-Bay..LOL This guy must of thought he was a really good con-man, or he smoked way to much of the Tie-stick he bought while he was in Hawaii..What dumb-A$$

Teaching Your Teen to Drive

about.com;"The first time I took Spencer on a higher speed rural road (50 mph speed limit), he panicked when he reached 40 miles per hour. He broke into a cold sweat as he watched objects whizzing beside him on the drivers side of the car. I finally coaxed him into getting up to 50, but it was not without a fair amount of fear from his perspective. He had a similar experience the first time he merged onto a freeway. Learned some pretty good tips for teaching teenagers to safely work behind the wheel. If you are embarking on the process of teaching your first teen to drive, or if you are trying for a first "successful" experience, then there are some things you should know."
My teenager daughter has been bugging me really bad to teach her how to drive or be allowed to take, Drivers-Ed. Well being a single mom, not a lot of money to pay for the latter so I have agreed to teach her myself. Well lets just say its been a really stressful time for me, the thought of my little girl behind the wheel when just a short time ago she was trying to figure out how to just stay on a bike and not fall off. Well would love to hear stories or infro. From others that have done this or been thru this...Thanks

Mr. Nader's Baiting

washingtonpost; " The days when the chief Israeli puppeteer comes to the United States and meets with the puppet in the White House and then proceeds to Capitol Hill, where he meets with hundreds of other puppets, should be replaced." "Bush also repeated the catch-phrase 'committed to the security of Israel as a Jewish state,' which is repeated almost word-for-word again and again by Israel's sycophants and Capitol Hill puppets." Which of the above quotations is lifted from the Web site of the white supremacist National Alliance and which was uttered this summer by independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader? It's a tough one. After all, both play on the age-old anti-Semitic stereotype of powerful Jews dominating politics and manipulating hapless non-Jewish puppets for their own ends. Yet if Mr. Nader is at all disquieted by the company he is keeping by using such metaphors, he sure isn't showing it. In a letter this week to the Anti-Defamation League, which had complained to him about his rhetoric, he responded with breezy indifference and more rhetoric that only compounds concerns. Mr. Nader complains in his letter that the debate in Israel over Israeli policies is far more robust than the American debate over the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In an interview last month on the "Democracy Now!" radio show he explained, "The U.S. government never connects with the deep and broad Israeli peace movement" a claim he elaborates on in the letter. And Mr. Nader has a point. Israel's shriller defenders often cry foul at even the mildest and most constructive criticism of the state. The problem with Mr. Nader's words are not that he criticizes either Israel's policies or American support for those policies. The problem, rather, is the language he deploys in doing so. In the radio interview he called John Kerry a "puppet politician who does not think in the best interests of the American people and the Israeli and Palestinian people." And in his letter he writes, referring to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a pro-Israel lobbying group, of "AIPAC's ditto machine on Capitol Hill" and the awed members of Congress "who, against their private judgment, resign themselves to sign on the dotted line." This is poisonous stuff. And if Mr. Nader doesn't understand what such words actually mean, the less savory elements of American society certainly know how to read such code. But Mr. Nader, as always, is not backing down: "As for the metaphors -- puppeteer and puppets -- the Romans had a phrase for the obvious -- res ipsa loquitor," which means the thing speaks for itself. Indeed it does.

Quiz answer: The first quotation was Mr. Nader's."

Well after reading this I will say that Ralf Nader, pack a -Mean tongue- and don't care who hits with it. But He also makes a good point of a few things to think about! I feel he knows he's probley not going to make it to the White House!! But I bet, he's sure going to shake-up those who are trying to get in, by putting things out their for the Voters hear, that would other wise never make to our ears. To think and talk-about, before we see who we really want to be the President of the United States of America...You may feel different then me on this but, you can't say that he don't put a question in your mind. On some of the things he throws out their about...BUSH and KERRY both...........Really think about of of the things he says,making me wonder who's real?

MAKER OF ROCK GUITAR STRINGS, DEAD AT 74

NBC-6; "Ernie Ball has died. He was a pioneer maker of rock 'n' roll guitar strings used by legions of artists from the Rolling Stones to Merle Travis. Ball was 74. The mortuary handling services announced that Ball died at his home Thursday after an ongoing illness. His strings and instruments were used by music stars over the past four decades, from B.B. King to Metallica. In 1962, complaints from customers that they couldn't find lighter-gauge, flexible strings for their rock 'n' roll instruments prompted Ball to create and sell sets of strings he called "Slinkys." They were a hit. He later branched out into instruments and accessories. Today, Ernie Ball items are sold in more than five-thousand music stores in the United States and exported to more than 70 countries."

A great pioneer has died, I'm sure he'll be missed. But will always be remembered by the sounds on his strings made, thru people's music as they pluck out their tunes on his great-strings....Hope your tuning those Harps up in Heaven, Ernie!!

WORKERS TO STRIKE ATLANTIC CASINOS

NBC-6; "With the Miss America pageant approaching, workers at some Atlantic City casinos are threating to strike. More than eight-thousand cooks, housekeepers, servers, bartenders and other casino employees at eleven of the resorts 12 casinos have authorized their union to strike if a contract's not reached."

Again another reason the min. Wage person, should stand up and say we won't be your slaves anymore.

YOU!! want us to wait on people to make you money$$.. Then pay for it!!! We know these owner's, Jacked-up! The prices in the casinos because of the pageant, so why shouldn't they give some of it back, to the workers who made it what it is.......

Legislation to protect Siegfried and Roy

NBC-6; "Nevada Senator Harry Reid says his delegation will do everything it can "to protect Siegfried and Roy." Reid is in the middle of a dispute between the Agriculture Department and a video production company that has footage of a tiger mauling entertainer Roy Horn. The department has subpoenaed the producers for the attack footage, as part of an investigation into whether Siegfried and Roy violated animal welfare laws. Reid takes exception to that -- saying he defies anyone to say the Vegas act didn't treat the animals -- quote -- "better than most people treat their children." Feld Entertainment has been refusing to hand over the footage, saying it doesn't want kids to see any gruesome images. The company says it has offered to let investigator see the tape -- but not have it."

I agree that the film should not be open to the public, But I feel as much as the next person. All wild animals are dangureus, even a house-pet can turn on you at the wrong time. So when someone works with a animal in a public setting it is hard to predict if some is going to happen? Because something could happen at the least time expected and for no reason, with any animal. I feel instead of trying to waste a lot of money on this past issue the-agriculture Deptment should focus on how to prevent this from happening again.....

" Internet sex addiction, "

AdultNews;"Like the nose on Pinocchio's face, the pop psychology concept of "Internet sex addiction," keeps on growing. Like the witch-hunt hysteria of centuries past, the insanity is spreading from country to country with the latest batch of illogical conclusions coming from London England, where women were once encourage to "lay back and think of England" while enduring marital sex. Sporting language that would make the Vatican's Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger proud, the increasing openness with which women are admitting that they enjoy sex with addiction. And the Internet, of course, is to blame. "I think the Internet has played a part in the increase, a woman had openly said she wanted sex, it would have raised eyebrows. It is more acceptable now." Well, we can't have that, can we? As usual the definition of "addiction" is staggeringly vague, while simultaneously being compared to increases in physical addictions such as those with drugs and alcohol among women. Additionally, the number used to support this supposed wave of insatiable female sexual hunger is ridiculous. According to the study "Sex Addiction and Women," released by an unspecified firm a whopping one to two percent of women are "addicted" to sex and the Internet. Lock up your sons, folks, Internet harlots are surfing the 'Net in search of no-strings attached sex, naughty pictures, and stories. Well, maybe two-percent of women, anyway -- give or take that traditional three-percent margin of error, of course. Once marketed as an exclusively male "addiction," a fondness for sex and the Internet is now something that women share, with some hooking up for anonymous sexual encounters and hot chats in much the same way people used to do via personal ads and pen pal systems. Somehow researchers are unaware of the bar scene and other more Luddite forms of sexual hook-ups and have declared the number of women using the Internet to meet and greet as "...An unprecedented trend that defies current understanding of the sexual habits of men and women." Maybe some academics need to spend less time in the lab and more time in the real world. According to these so-called experts, women have traditionally under-reported their "sex addiction," whereas men have coped to their bad habit and sought help. Doctors and therapists claim to have treated "dozens of women" ranging in age from 19 to 60 and claim that online erotica is the Internet equivalent of crack cocaine. Unsurprisingly, the people beating the drum of Internet sex addiction are the same people making money off of it by pathologizing what others might consider a healthy sexual appetite or, in the case of women who engage in risky sexual behavior via online contact, a manifestation of a larger problem. But treating the underlying problem doesn't make pop psychologists rich -- blaming technology and encouraging guilt and shame do. For instance, Dr. Cyndi Roller is the author of the Sex Addiction and Women report. She claims that women who are addicted to sex consider themselves to be worthless, unloved, and incapable of having their needs met, and convinced that sex is their chief priority. If this is so, how is the Internet to blame? In fact, how is sex to blame? Certainly there must be a deeper issue to confront than the use of chatrooms for the exchange of saucy fantasies."

If you care to hear my views on this I will tell you women are learning its okay to feel sexy and they can do it in the privacy of their own homes thru the inter-net, and they are having fun doing it. Now I will tell you their is a web-site, I won't say where that I went one time, but they have live cams all the time in people homes so....Okay!! I stayed and peeked..LOL Well lets just say I smoked a pack of cigs.....Watching (blushing)

Men And Their Underwear

washingtonpost; "I found this little tid-bit in the writer area, and couldn't help myself. Sorry guys.. all the talk about pantys lately, and thought all you men you enjoy the last post I did so much I just had to give you this one is was a real fashon statment for fall, for the new-year. It's the writer verson in the mall going shopping in the stores and he stops in this one store - "
Man: I am a lifelong wearer of your products, and I like them just fine, but I got to the mall yesterday, and I saw something very disturbing. They were Jockey underpants. The picture showed a guy, like, shaving or doing something very manly, but he was wearing what appears to be, well, panties.
Lady-clerk: That's the Next to Nothing line of briefs.
Man: My question is, have you ever sold a single one of these items?
Lady-clerk: Oh, yes!
Man: My theory is that you aren't trying to sell them. You have them there to make all your other products look manlier. So, here is my suggestion: Go all the way. Just call them panties. Panties for men. Manties, by Jockey.
Lady-clerk: Ha-ha.
Man: I'm serious. And you should also sell pantyhose for men. Call them Panty-he's. So a guy comes along in the store and sees a display of Manties and Panty-he's, and he's going to buy 12 basic white Jockey boxer shorts, right quick.
Lady-clerk: You know, some men wear pantyhose when they ski.
Man: Omigod."

Well did you like, leave your comment at the door...hehehe!!

Prison Guards Find Basketball Full Of Pot

sfgate;"Okla- Basketballs are usually puffed up with air, but somebody found a way of inflating one with a substance usually associated with puffing of another kind. Oklahoma State Penitentiary officials cut into an exercise-yard basketball and found nearly two pounds of what is believed to be marijuana stuffed inside. Acting on a tip from McAlester police, prison officials searched the yard and found the basketball, which held 30 one-ounce packets of the leafy substance. They seized the basketball from the Talawanda Heights unit, which houses 65 minimum security inmates for the prison and sits away from the main part of the facility. Department of Corrections spokeswoman Linda Morgan said two inmates are on lockdown in connection with the seizure.
Morgan said officials don't know how the basketball got on the prison grounds."

Talk about a air-head!!...Wonder how long this was on the grounds? Now that is what I called prison reform no one smoked it, and to think it still had pot in it.....oh I'm sorry its called : Marijunana

Ex-Wife IDs Bank Robbery Suspect

sfgate;"Ohio -- A suspected bank robber's getaway was abruptly cut short by an unusual witness -- his ex-wife, authorities said. Police accuse Daniel Waggoner, 31, of robbing a bank branch in a Kroger grocery store Tuesday. Police and witnesses said he passed a note demanding money, received cash from tellers and fled. Detective Frank Hensley said Waggoner's ex-wife later saw him driving on state Route 122, and wondered what he was doing in Middletown. "She is on her way to the bank at Kroger and sees his truck -- it's easy to spot. It's black with a chrome smoke stack," Hensley said. When the woman reached the Kroger, she learned that the bank branch was closed because of the robbery. She went to another branch and told the teller that her ex-husband had been in Middletown shortly after the robbery and that he had gotten out of prison a year ago after serving a sentence for bank robbery. "She said he had no business being in Middletown, then she heard about the bank robbery and put it together," Hensley said. The ex-wife identified Waggoner from a photograph taken by the bank surveillance camera, and police took Waggoner into custody."

Sorry, had to print this one. It's got to be the stupid of the day post I feel, come on haven't we always been taught growing up we don't do crap that will get up caught in our own back yards...This guy where's his brains? Maybe he should of first.. Made sure he wouldn't run into his ex-wife, while he was in town at least....LOL

Man Loses License Over 6-Pack A Day

sfgate; "Harrisburg,Pa.- A man who told his doctors that he drinks more than a six-pack of beer per day is now fighting to get his driver's license back because the physicians apparently reported him to the state. Said Tuesday that he disclosed his drinking habit in February to doctors who were treating him at a hospital for an irregular heartbeat. "I told them it was over a six-pack a day. It wasn't good for me. I'm not going to lie," he said in a telephone interview from his home. Emerich received a notice from the Department of Transportation in April that his license was being revoked effective May 6 for medical reasons related to substance abuse. He has petitioned a judge to restore the license, and a hearing has been set. A state law dating to the 1960s requires doctors to report any physical or mental impairments that could compromise a patient's ability to drive safely, any statistics on its reasons for doing so, report motorists with medical conditions that could affect their driving, according to the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. The other states are California, Delaware, Oregon, Nevada, and New Jersey.

Okay -Now wait a minute...I thought anything you tell your Doctor was between you and him!...Right? Kind of like the Confession-thing. Well guess not!! Sure won't be telling mine no more juicy gossip anymore...Heck with that!!

Dropped Cig Blows Up Portable Potty

sfgate;"W.Va. - Warning: smoking in the toilet can be dangerous. A portable toilet exploded Tuesday after a man who was inside it lit a cigarette. Emergency workers said the man was not severely injured and drove himself to Clay-Battelle Community Health Center. He was later transferred to Ruby Memorial Hospital. His name and condition were not available Wednesday. The explosion, which occurred in Blacksville, resulted from a buildup of methane gas inside the portable toilet. The methane did not "take too kindly" to the lit cigarette, said a spokeswoman for Monongalia Emergency Medical Services."

Well...... Guess this takes a whole new meaning to [going to the john for a smoke break]..lol

Promise American you will not reinstate the Draft

Found this letter when wandering around on the web and thought I would put it out their for a few to comment on. And see what kind of talk, I can start-up with it... Read on:

Dear Mr.Bush And John Kerry;
Neither of you have put forward an exit strategy for U.S. troops in Iraq or Afghanistan. This open-ended troop deployment, along with the other military commitments of the United States throughout the world, has stretched U.S. forces thin. In order to meet these commitments many soldiers have not been allowed to leave the service at the end of their enlistment (a form of a Draft), thousands of troops are being shifted from South Korea to ease pressure elsewhere, the U.S. is calling up more and more reserves and most recently the Army announced it would call back soldiers who had already left the service.

The House of Representatives voted in May to permanently add 30,000 Army soldiers over the next three years; the Senate voted in June for an additional 20,000 in fiscal 2005. But it is going to be difficult to recruit troops now that young Americans have seen what is going on in Iraq and why this country was plunged into this war of choice in the first place. Indeed, polls show more and more Americans do not support the war and want U.S. troops to come home. The Pentagon's reliance on reservists and National Guard members has grown substantially. The National Guard is being turned into an International Guard. Already the National Guard and reserves make up about 40 percent of our troops in Iraq. Our troops are spread thin even with the expensive outsourcing to corporations of many military functions. As Rep. Charles Rangel of New York, the lead sponsor of a bill to reinstate the draft in the U.S. House of Representatives, recently told The International Herald Tribune "ultimately we will run out of bodies."

Where are the soldiers for your military policies going to come from? As a result of these factors there is increased discussion of the return of the military Draft by elected officials in Congress and commentators. I am writing to you today to urge you to publicly proclaim that you will not support a return of the Draft. An unambiguous clear promise on this matter is needed to put this issue to rest.

Sincerely,

Ralph Nader"

WOMAN TEST-DRIVING CAR FINDS PYTHON UNDER THE HOOD

NBC-6 ; "Potsdam,N.Y- A woman taking a used car out for a test drive found a little some extra under the hood. A big snake. When Margaret Brusso took a 1999 Honda Accord out for a ride, she noticed the car's hood was ajar. She decided to take a look at the engine. That's when she came eye-to-eye with the snake. Brusso let out a scream. A neighbor came over with a pail to help out, then decided the snake was too big for him to handle. A sheriff's deputy with experience handling snakes was dispatched to the scene and corralled the ball python. The snake had escaped from its tank earlier this summer. It has since been returned to its owner. "

Lord-Lord I hate Snakes!!!....Hey....Rathwel...you live up their did you lose something?

SOLDIER WHO LOST ARM WINS APPEAL TO REJOIN ARMY

NBC-6; "Fayetteville, N.C.- Chuck Bartles lost his arm , but not his stripes. Sergeant Bartles is being allowed to rejoin the military. The Army reservist lost most of his right arm in an Iraqi roadside bombing attack. He's with the 418th Civil Affairs Battalion based in Belton, Missouri. Military officials say he's the first amputee to re-up since at least the Vietnam War. Lieutenant Colonel James Suriano, the commander of the 418th, says Bartles' "soldierly qualities" helped him win his appeal to stay in the service. Bartles was awarded a Bronze Star before his re-enlistment ceremony in Fayetteville, North Carolina, this week."
Now this is a man that will let nothing stop him from what he believes in, maybe we should all take a few lessons from him. I stand up and [clap-my hands] to a man that was hurt and could of said he did his part and come home, but he didn't.... I saluted you sir.

George Bush Jr.'s in covert operation/ While John Kerry in Vietnam

Views:"What was he really up to in this tropical wonderland? Some of the non-believers are also asking questions about George Bush Jr.'s attendance record with the Texas National Guard. There is a rumor going around the coffee shop that I hang out at that the president was not absent at all! But involved in covert operation, flying jets over North Vietnam, and personally shot down three Chinese M-16 fighters himself! The reason this information is withheld from the public is because of national security reasons. It must be kept secret. Only people in high positions of government are aware of this, and are sworn to a oath of secrecy. Some of the more patriotic and religious folks that hang out at our cafe seem to agree with this story, and say it is possible! How can you disagree with this kind of vision?

Men In Thongs Arrested At Wal-Mart

sfgate;"SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. -- Two men who were arrested for walking through a Wal-Mart while wearing women's thong underwear blamed the stunt on a "triple-dog dare," authorities said. The men, ages 35 and 36, bought two pair of underwear at the store Tuesday, went into a bathroom and came out wearing only the thongs and T-shirts, police said. Witnesses said the men walked through the store and out to their car. Police caught the men in the parking lot, and reviewed a surveillance tape before arresting them for public indecency and disorderly conduct. When asked why they were wearing thong underwear, one of the men said a friend "triple-dog dared" them... They will not be prosecuted, authorities said."
