Welcome to St. Louis, where witnesses witnesses two men throw another man off the Poplar Street Bridge on Saturday Night. The victim was found 3 miles down the Mississippi River 10 minutes later.
The unidentified 28 year old man told police that he had been out drinking with two men earlier in the day, but as they drive across the bridge the other men stopped the car and tossed him over the side like a dead body wrapped in a carpet.
The man went to the hospital with minor injuries, but should be okay. The best part of the story is that the victim had passed out before being thrown into the river by his friends that he doesn't know their names.
Michael Jackson Torches Bar, Like Fireworks Did His Hair.
The Bootleggers Bar employee was told by Amanda Jarvis that their was a fire in the women's restroom on Sunday morning. He went into the bathroom and proceeded to put out the fire, which was started in the trash can of the restroom. Intelligently, he went to the surveillance camera footage and saw Jarvis walk into the restroom twice and then left the bar.
Detective Sgt. Mark Carpentiere of the Lorain Police department was called to the scene after getting the phone call from the bartender. The bartender was able to track down Jarvis at another bar a short time later in the morning.
Carpentiere asked the heavily intoxicated woman if she knew why he was called to the bar, Jarvis replied with, "because I started a fire in the bathroom." Police probed further to find out why she would have started the fire and got an awkward answer.
Jarvis said, "I felt stressed because my apartment had recently caught on fire, and because of the death of Michael Jackson."
Topless Public Pools Now In Sweden
The city of Malmö has voted to legalize topless bathing at public swimming pools. Malmö is the third largest city in Sweden, but the decision was due to a feminist group who started appearing at the public pools topless after a motion to make the women "cover up." The amended version states that “everybody should wear bathing suits,” which would allow woman to to go topless as long as they wore a bottom part.
A council spokesman told The Local that “We don’t define what bathing suits men should wear so it doesn’t make much sense to do it for women. And besides, it’s not unusual for men to have large breasts that resemble women’s breasts.”
Playboy Bunnies Fading Away
The University of Central Florida is trying to work on saving an endangered species of bunnies that were named after Playboy founder Hugh Hefner.
Rosanna Tursi is using genetics to help in the conservation of the bunnies. The sylvilagus palustris hefneri were declared endangered in 1990. The hefneri is the most recently recognized subspecies of the marsh rabbit and were discovered in 1984.
Tursi and some colleagues from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service were awarded a grant to study the bunnies. She believes that the ability of a species to adapt to new conditions depends on genetic information present in natural populations. So the more genetic diversity in a species, the greater their rate of survival.
Tursi said, "The loss of genetic diversity can have long-term repercussions by affecting the evolutionary potential of the species. Nature and conservation of wildlife have always been my passion, and I wanted to use my molecular and genetic knowledge to help endangered species."
