Apple Does It Again!
Apple announced today that it has developed a breast implant that can store and play music. The iBoob will cost from $499 to $699, depending on cup and speaker size. This is considered a major social breakthrough, because women are always complaining about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them.
Ferry Decorated With Bras
A ferry decorated with hundreds of bras sailed through Bristol to celebrate the success of a campaign that has seen a
ton of unwanted bras donated by residents to help the women of Sierra Leone.
The Bristol Soroptimists decorated the ferry to celebrate International Women's Day and demonstrate the success of the Bra Bra Bristol campaign.
Over the past year, 100 sacks full of unwanted bras have been donated by the women of Bristol and the surrounding area.
For this ton, a recycling firm will give £500 towards Soroptimist International's Project Sierra – a Family and a Future, which helps women in Sierra Leone to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of war.
To celebrate the milestone and to thank all the women who donated their old bras, Bristol ferry Brigantia, liberally festooned with bras, was loaned to the Soroptimists and toured Bristol
Harbor.
The ferry sailed around the harbor with a focus on Pero's Bridge, to coincide with the international Women on the Bridge event, a global initiative to promote peace.
Soroptimist International Bristol president Sue Perry said: "We are thrilled with the ultimate success of this project which, after a whole year, has increased awareness of the plight of women in Sierra Leone by raising £500 towards rebuilding their lives.
"Above all, we would like to say an enormous thank you to everyone who has contributed – schools, businesses, clubs and churches and endless individual women: without you, none of this would have happened."
Founded in 1921, Soroptimist International is a worldwide organization for women in management and the professions, working through projects to advance human rights and the status of women.

What People Do With Underwear
A home in Volusia County is sparking outrage. A homeowner has strung up women's underwear and built mountains of sand in the back and neighbors are desperate for help.
The house is located near Daytona Beach Shores and it turns out the homeowner has done it before in other states.
The owner is a minor celebrity of sorts in other cities. The homeowner, Robert Hodges, calls himself “Prince Mongo.” His home has women’s underwear hanging outside on a clothesline.
On his website, Hodges claims to be from the planet Zambodia and is 333 years old. Hodges says he is here to save the world, but he's ruining his neighbor’s world.
"I am really, really angered by it at this point," neighbor Pam Lucas.
Hodges’s neighbors said they really don’t want to draw more attention to him for fear of what he'll do next.
Hodges didn't have a permit for his deck last year and Volusia County found out. That's when the Prince Mongo began painting his home bright colors, including witch illustrations directed toward a neighbor.
In late January, a mountain of sand was delivered and then the underwear started flying. Neighbors said the display grows almost weekly.
"When you consider this is your home, you would want something more stable and this would seem to be a very unsafe situation," Lucas said.
It was discovered it isn't Hodges’s first redecorating job. He's owned homes in Ft. Lauderdale and Memphis, Tennessee, where he's run for mayor with bizarre campaign platform speeches.
"I have a spaceship coming that’s going to carry 333 spirits, 333,000 spirits from earth," Hodges stated.
He has enough money to fight code violations in court, even going to jail and letting battles drag on for months. Hodges has at least seven violations on his Volusia County home, but has not had a code board hearing yet and the county said he may still have ample time before fines start to add up.
Hodges may know what is against code and what is not. The underwear counts as a clothesline, which is not against code. Same with the paint, which the county doesn't have a rule for.
It isn't the first case where someone has trashed a home. In Seminole County, a man was convicted of felony littering for the mess he had in his yard. Alan Davis claimed it was art. He once even mocked authorities with a giant statue of a rear end in his front yard.
