Breast-feeding,
cell-using driver charged..
Police in Ohio say a woman has been charged with child endangerment
after another motorist reported she was both breast-feeding
the youngster and talking on a phone while driving. SummerInFL
asks, 'What was this woman thinking?' Sounds like she was too
busy talking, driving and nursing a baby to be doing much thinking
at all.
Watch this video!!! Its hilarious....
A sighting of Walt's frozen head? mindy327
brings us a link to an old MAD TV sketch that just might make

why
do you think they did this?
Should you be planning a visit to Australia, it might interest
you to know that you can find a Burger King Whopper if you're
having a craving on your trip. But you won't find it at Burger
King. Confused? tassie, one of our favorite
Chatters from down under, is puzzled too.
Help me decide!
