Woman Caught Driving With Full Tree Embedded Into Her Grille: Roselle, Ill police report a 54-year-old Illinois woman has been pulled over and arrested for DUI after she told officers that she had no idea how an entire 15-foot tree became embedded into the grille of her black Lincoln. Not defending what she did, but that’s got to be about the best hood ornament ever! I can see where she’d be a big hit on Arbor Day. Police say she’ll likely be charged with a DUI, but not treason. Hopefully, this incident will help her decide to turn over a new leaf.

Health officials say the best way to avoid bagel-induced lung cancer is to eat them slow and don’t “inhale” them.

California Sues Grocers Over Lead In Candies: California has filed a lawsuit against popular heath food stores Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, alleging the companies are selling lead-tainted ginger and plum candies without warning labels as required by state law.

Study Finds Women Avoiding Exercise Because of Hairdos: A new study out of Wake Forest University found that 40 per cent of women admitted to avoiding exercise because they didn't want to ruin their hairdos. Kind of makes you wonder if that has anything to do with why Donald Trump’s gained so much weight over the years? Anyway, based on that, I have to assume the best fitness advice anyone could give to women would be to shave their heads.
Study Finds Fitness and Body Fat Key to Health: A new study concluded that traditional measures such as weight or BMI index aren’t always the best predictors of health, finding that body fat and fitness are more important indicators.
