Sound Smart at a Party for the Week of July 29 – August 4

A McDonald’s in Oklahoma had a “brief” encounter with a woman after she robbed the place with men’s underwear wrapped around her face last week. Surveillance video shows a middle-age woman wearing all black, with gloves and a blonde wig (and the makeshift panty-mask of course), walking up to the drive-through window and stealing cash from the register when the employees stepped away. The woman had the undies held in place with paper clips, giving her extra points for creativity. Let’s just hope the underwear had never been worn, amirite?

Operating a moving vehicle while under the influence is always a bad idea. We’re not sure if it’s better or worse when it’s a lawn mower. In Iowa, police received reports that someone was driving a lawn mower all over the highway with no headlights on. When they stopped the man, they discovered his blood-alcohol level was twice the state’s limit and arrested him. Considering the fastest he could go on the mower was 5 mph, we’re guessing it wasn’t much of a chase.

Wonder bras are soooo last decade. The newest craze? Booty Pop! No, it’s not some kind of cross between Pirate’s Booty and popcorn, it’s underwear that gives you a bigger butt. These infomercial panties are padded to give your tuchus the bootylicious shape you have always dreamed of. Stars like Nicole Ritchie have been tweeting about them and the bloomers have graced the behinds of celebrities like Kelly Ripa, which is probably why sales have been soaring. The inventors are from Canada, so we have to say it. Underwear with a padded butt? Haven’t hockey players been wearing those for years?

Max, a chocolate Labrador in Pennsylvannia took matters into his own paws after his owner left him in the car for about an hour on a 90-degree day. The owner had gone shopping and was unloading packages when she forgot that Max was still in the car. She went outside after she heard the horn honking and went outside to find the pooch sitting in the driver’s seat. Luckily, the owner rushed him to the vet after giving him water and cooling him down, he only suffered heat exhaustion.

An Ohio man is saying that he is exempt for the city’s property laws because of his American Indian ancestry. William Bowersock told a judge last week that he should not have to clean up his two homes that have fallen into disrepair because he had formed his own Indian reservation, making him exempt from the property code. The judge wasn’t buying it, and told him that he had 30 days to clean up his mess.

Here’s another study that will make you feel even better about going to your office job. When people sit for the majority of their day, they cut short their life expectancy. And hitting the gym isn’t even going to help. The study says that even if someone exercises regularly, if they spend most on their day at a desk, they’re in trouble, and are at a higher risk for obesity and a heart attack. A survey from 2004 showed that Americans spend more than half of their days sitting, whether it is at work or in a car.
