Nothing goes exactly as you'd expect it to today, for reasons that defy logic. Don't spend too much time worrying about it, though -- you need to just relax and deal with things as they arise.

Wacky bras auctioned for charity

GLENDALE , Calif., March 24 (UPI) -- Twin Peaks Bra and The Great Bra of China were featured creations at this year's Soroptimist Bras for a Cause fundraiser in Glendale, Calif.

The main component of the charity event was the auctioning off of wacky and creatively designed bras with original names and themes. Yosemit-D Bra and Snorkeling in Bra-zil Bra are two other examples.

Soroptimist, a global volunteer organization for career women who work to improve the lives of women and girls, donated the auction proceeds to breast cancer healing and research, the Los Angeles Daily News reported.

One of the most attention-grabbing designs last Saturday reportedly was the Op-Bra, constructed by a hair dresser named Joe DiMaggio, who is, in fact related, to the famous baseball star. It was a super-sized black bra containing large, old-fashioned globes in its cups.

The yearly event, which began in 2003, is the brainchild of Soroptimist President Kathy Lefkovits, the newspaper said.

Easter Bunny accused of injuring baby

AUSTIN, Texas, March 24 (UPI) -- A Texas man working as the Easter Bunny at an Austin mall allegedly injured a baby after getting frustrated with the job, police said.

People who saw the incident said the Bunny was posing for photos when he lost his temper with a photographer and moved a 9-month-old from his lap to the floor, said Sgt. Brian Loyd of the Austin police child abuse unit. The man has not been charged.

He went to take the child off his lap, and the child ended up injured in the process, Loyd said of the Friday incident. The child was treated and released at a local hospital.

Loyd told the Austin (Texas) American-Statesman that police have received numerous conflicting stories from witnesses.

I've heard that he pushed the child down, dropped the child, tripped with the child. We don't want to charge someone without all the facts, Loyd said.

The suspect reportedly has been released from Williamson County Jail as his investigation continues. He could face up to 20 years in jail if charged and convicted.

Hoax leads to missing items

JACKSONVILLE, Ore., March 24 (UPI) -- A Jacksonville, Ore., man who was the target of a hoax that resulted in items being taken from his property said some of the items have been returned.

Robert Salisbury, who lost multiple possessions after two hoax ads on Web site Craigslist declared them free for the taking, said some who were tricked by the fake ads have returned the items they took, the Medford (Ore.) Mail Tribune reported Monday.

Some people did return things, he said. Maybe that will urge others to do it.

Police said people who fail to return the missing items, which include a porch swing, ladders, a weed whacker and several other tools, could face criminal charges.

The creator or creators of the hoax Craigslist ads could face theft and burglary charges if caught, investigators said.

Salisbury said he was alerted to the hoax ads when a woman phoned to ask about the legitimacy of a portion of the ads that said his horse was among the free items.

Survey: Smoking is top visitor faux pas

LONDON, March 24 (UPI) -- A survey suggests Britons consider smoking without permission in someone else's home to be the most serious breach of house-visiting etiquette.

The survey, conducted by the BBC's Good Homes magazine, found respondents considered smoking to be a more serious etiquette breech than criticizing home decor, raiding the refrigerator or overstaying a welcome, The Scotsman reported Monday.

What this poll shows is how much more aware people now are about how harmful second-hand smoke can be, said Sheila Duff, chief executive of anti-smoking organization Ash Scotland. It's not about blaming smokers, because tobacco is highly addictive and is still heavily promoted all over the world.

Neil Rafferty, spokesman for the smokers' rights group Forest, said public opinion swaying against smokers is less a result of health issues and more a result of anti-smoking groups demonizing smokers.

You would never have seen the same kind of findings in a poll like this 15 to 20 years ago, he said. The anti-smoking brigade have basically managed to turn smokers into social lepers these days.
