The 57-year-old woman, who lives on the city's west side, saw a group of men breaking into a neighbour's house on Tuesday morning. When the men spotted her, one of them fired a shot at her, a police spokesman said. The bullet struck the underwire on the woman's bra and that saved her from a more serious injury, police said. "It did slow the bullet down," said Phillip Cook, a Detroit police spokesman. "She sustained injuries but they're not life threatening."
The woman, who was not identified, was treated at a nearby hospital. The suspects in the shooting drove away. Just last week in Brazil, another woman's life was saved with a bit of help from her undergarments. A woman who was shot in the chest by robbers on a bus in the northeastern Brazilian state of Bahia survived the attack because she had stuffed money into her bra. Because of frequent armed robberies on buses in the region, when 58-year-old Ivonete Pereira decided to take the bus to her summer home, she stuffed 150 reals (£45) in 20 and 10-real notes inside her bra.
The cash absorbed most of the impact when Mrs Pereira was caught in the crossfire during a shoot-out with police.
A Riverside County man was arrested on charges of felony animal cruelty after police say he bludgeoned his horse with a sledgehammer, decapitated it with a chainsaw and fed it to his dogs.
Jack Ziniuk, 64, of rural Anza called authorities Sunday morning to say his horse had been injured by dogs, was having seizures and needed to be put down, Riverside County Sheriff’s Sgt. Bill Roach said.
But when officers arrived they found a headless horse. A bloody sledgehammer was submerged in a bucket of water and a chainsaw sat nearby. The animal’s head was lying in a dog run where Roach said it was serving as food for Ziniuk’s dogs.
“He told us he was having an argument with his neighbors and some dogs had attacked his horse but when deputies got out there they found the horse already dead,” Roach said. “He essentially admitted that he did it and that no dogs had attacked the horse.”
Scottie talks about his cameo in Midgets Vs. Mascots, dunking over Ewing and more
Froman: So how did you get involved with this project? Scottie: Man, my marketing guy sorta tricked me into this movie. He did not really tell me everything, like the first scene was real normal with my family talking to some mascots, real professional. Then the second scene, they said it was improv with the little people. So they told me some things to say, and that the little guys were pissed about something, and for me to do this or do that depending on what they do when they come up on me. So…we start rolling and this team of little people just start goin off on me, and one of them is gary coleman, which sorta was crazy, ya know…having Arnold yell at you. I can’t tell you the whole thing, but these little guys pulled some bs on me, actually starting hitting me…stupid stuff. It almost gut uglier than anyone wanted…I’ll say that. But all and all, it was cool. Everyone is talking about how funny it is, that it’s the next borat. I never saw borat, so I hope that’s good. Crazy. The name is crazy, “midgets vs mascots?
Froman:Have you acted before and is this a new a career path for you? Scottie: I’d like to do more acting, since none of these nba teams seem willing to hire me as coach. I did a bunch of stuff like guest spots on er, and I’m attached to a tv show if it gets picked up this fall.People always tell me I’d make a good bad guy because of my presence and voice, so I’m with that if it happens. Maybe voiceover stuff, that seems like stealing money. Froman:Did you ask P. Ewing how your balls tasted after that famous dunk in his face which is why they gave you the T? Scottie: patrick and I are friends. I didn’t say anything at the time. I did have a few beers with Patrick way after it and I might have asked him how my…….naw, I’m not gonna say that. (laughs).
Froman:Why do think Jordan retired in '93 being you still had a good team going on?Were you upset about it? Scottie: I was never pissed at him for retiring, just disappointed, ya know, we still had so much upside as a team. But it gave me a chance to show my leadership and develop as a player, so all good.
Froman:Jordan/Pippen is to what dynamic duo today? Scottie: I don’t really see it right now, at least not one that has any longevity.
Froman:Many athletes have extensive involvement in the making of their signature sneakers, how much final approval did you have on the Nike Pippen I's or IIs? Do you still own a pair? Scottie: I liked working with nike on the pippen shoes. I was way involved in the early stuff, like concept and design and some marketing ideas. Then nike puts the machine in motion and some amazing stuff happens.I might still have a pair of my favorites, but I don’t wear them.
Froman:So who wins in a fight: midgets or mascots? Scottie:I have not seen the movie. I hear its way crazy, like all sorts of racial slurs in it, and some guy tried to wrestle a huge alligator, lots of fights, that sort of stuff. I don’t know who wins, or what, but those little guys are mean enough to win. I found that out. Makes me want to pull a prank on my marketing guy just thinking about it. You have any good ideas?

Iriarte was arrested in Suffolk County in 2003 and charged with raping a 13-year-old girl, according to court records.
He pleaded guilty in 2004 to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to 60 days in jail and probation, records show.
Iriarte, who lived in Manhattan and Suffolk County, was also arrested in 2002 in Manhattan for violating an order of protection against his girlfriend, sources said. via
Surgeons have been astonished by the medical rarity of a 26 year old man trapped in body of a two year old toddler. Jerly Lyngdoh - who lives with his farmer parents in Meghalaya, northern India - looks like any other tot with his tiny head and delicate 2ft 9ins long body. But it's only when he opens his mouth to reveal a full set of adult teeth that the truth about the world's oldest baby is revealed.
Experts believe glands which secrete growth hormones may be damaged in the 22 lbs medical miracle. 'Jerly's infantile features are remarkable, and the only thing he shares with an adult are his teeth,' said paediatrician Dr J. Ryndong. 'We think this is a case of pan-hypo pituitarism leading to poor secretion of growth hormones from the pituitary gland. He is a genuine rarity,' he added.
Jerly - who is still dressed in baby clothes by his parents - measures up at just four inches taller than China's He Pingping, officially the world's smallest man.
By now you've most likely seen way too much advertising for this movie but incase you've been running with pirates off the coast of Somalia for the past month and want to check out a movie this weekend heres my take.
Observe and Report stars Seth Rogan as a delusional and overly aggressive mall cop, Ronnie Bernhardt who's main goal is to citizens-arrest a flasher that is terrorizing his mall. This mission gets put on alpha status when his super crush, Brandi played by Anna Ferris who absolutely steals the show as a trashy make up sales girl, becomes the flasher's latest victim. A fresh facelift-looking Ray Liotta plays Detective Harrison (no stretch there, pun intended) who has been assigned to the mall flasher case and becomes Ronnie's arch nemesis for many reasons but ultimately because he is who Ronnie wants to be.
Writer and director Jody Hill (Eastbound and Down, Foot Fist Way) has a pretty great plot on his hands but he goes off on too many tangents, such as Ronnie trying to join the police academy, that you wish he would just stay the course and not explore other subplots that ultimately don't further the story along. In typical fashion, Jody develops some really funny supporting characters, particularly in Ronnie's mall cop crew (Michael Pena kills it as the latino gangsta sidekick with a lisp) as well as some great cameos from Aziz Ansari and Ben Best (an Eastbound actor and co-writer) all of which keep the laughs coming just when you feel a lull in the plot. But overall, Rogen's character loses the charm of being the lovable loser and instead of rooting for him to over come adversity you want to see him get his ass kicked, which he rightfully does.
Observe and Report is at times really funny, surprisingly original, and worth a look at some point but unfortunately it is not essential viewing. Observe and Report? More like 'Wait and Rent', HHHEEYYYOOO!!
Upon hearing this news Snoop Dogg, Willie Nelson, and Woody Harelson simultaniously kicked themselves for not thinking of this first.
A five-centimeter fir tree has been found in the lung of a man who complained he had a strong pain in his chest and was coughing blood.
The 28-year-old patient, Artyom Sidorkin, came to a hospital in the city of in last week, Komsomolskaya Pravda daily reports.
Doctors x-rayed his chest and found a tumor in one of the lungs. Suspecting cancer, they made a decision to perform biopsy, but when they cut the tissue, they were amazed to see green needles in the cut.
“I blinked three times, and thought I was seeing things. Then I called the assistant to have a look,” says Vladimir Kamashev, doctor at the .
The five-centimeter was removed from the patient’s body.
“They told me my coughing blood was not caused by any disease,” Sidorkin says.
“It was the needles poking the capillaries. It really hurt a lot. But I never felt like I had an alien object inside of me.”
It is obvious that a five-centimeter branch is too large to be inhaled or swallowed, doctors say. They suggest that the patient might have inhaled a small bud, which then started to grow inside his body.
Meanwhile, the piece of lung with the little fir tree has been preserved for further study.
Supernumerary phantom limb (SPL) is a real condition after suffering a stroke. The kicker is that you can use the apparitional arm to relieve real itches on the cheek. But it cannot penetrate solid objects. (insert fisting joke)
A 64-year-old woman has reported to doctors at Geneva University Hospital the presence of a pale, milky-white and translucent third arm. After examining the case, the woman's neurologist, Asaid Khateb of the hospital's experimental neurophysiology laboratory, called the rare phenomenon credible.
The arm appeared to the woman a few days after suffering a stroke, doctors said. But this case of what is known as a supernumerary phantom limb (SPL) is a genuine head-scratcher. The upshot is that the woman can use the apparitional extremity to relieve very real itches on the cheek. It cannot penetrate solid objects.
She does not always perceive the arm but "retrieves" it when needed, doctors told the Swiss news agency. It is nevertheless the first case known to doctors of a person being able to feel, see and deliberately move a limb that doesn't exist. Read more here. Or see a 3 armed baby here.
