OUR VAGINAS THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT: Two Minneapolis high school girls have incurred the wrath of school officials, because, after seeing a performance of "The Vagina Monologues,'' they wore buttons reading: "I 'heart' My Vagina.''
They say they are exercising their right to free speech, but the school contends the buttons are inappropriate and cause discomfort.
The student body has apparently sided with the girls, however. More than 100 students have ordered T-shirts bearing "I 'heart' My Vagina'' for girls and "I Support Your Vagina'' for boys.

LUCKILY, MEDICAL HELP WAS NEARBY: A man being released from a hospital in Manchester, N.H., asked his elderly mother to come and pick him up. When she got there, she accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake, and struck him with her car. He was readmitted to the hospital.

MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME: A burglar broke into several homes in Minneapolis, but stealing didn't appear to be his main motive. In one house, he cooked up some pork chops, and in another he hid in a woman's closet as she took a shower.

HOLD ON! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!? FBI agents stormed into a courtroom in Pampa, Tex., and arrested the district attorney for possession of methamphetamine. He was shocked.

A MOST UNEXPECTED DEVELOPMENT: A barroom brawl in Rochester, N.Y., spilled out of the building and onto the railroad tracks just outside the establishment.
Then, the train came. Two dead, one injured.
