MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - West Virginia University intros the Condom Caravan next Tuesday. Students will have their pick of 30 varieties for a quarter apiece, or five for a buck. But the real steal is on Thrifty Thursdays, when condoms are just a dime each all day. WVU's Student Health Service is supporting the Condom Caravan as a way of promoting safer sex on campus.
CHEATING HUSBAND SIGN
MCLEAN, Va. (AP) - William Taylor cheated on his wife. Now, the rest of the
world knows, too. The northern Virginia man endured a very public punishment for
his infidelity. He's been wearing a sign that says, "I cheated this is my
punishment." This week, Taylor was standing at a busy intersection in a
Washington suburb. At first, Taylor says he thought his wife was kidding about
the sign. Now, Taylor says he's willing to suffer public disgrace to make things
right.
CALIFORNIA GARAGE SALE
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - It's a garage sale as big as California -- in fact
it's the Great California Garage Sale. The cash-strapped state is selling
surplus and unclaimed property at a warehouse in the capital of Sacramento.
Everything from cars to jewelry is being sold today and tomorrow. Bargain
hunters will even have a chance to buy surplus prison shirts and jeans. Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is doing his bit to help entice buyers. He's autographed
15 car visors in an effort to fetch higher bids on the vehicles.
NOT MOON ROCK
AMSTERDAM (AP) - Dutch museum officials are caught between a rock and a hard
place -- over a moon rock. The bit of stone was supposedly returned to Earth by
Apollo astronauts. But museum officials now say their moon rock is a phony. An
investigation by the national museum has revealed the prized possession is just
piece of petrified wood. But the museum isn't getting rid of its now debunked
moon rock. It's being kept as a curiosity.
NYPD POSER
PATCHOGUE, N.Y. (AP) - Authorities report a phony cop picked the wrong driver to
try to pull over. Police on New York's Long Island charge Luther Scott flashed
an NYPD patch and tried to stop a real off-duty Suffolk County police officer.
Authorities say Scott took off when he saw the officer's genuine badge. But the
off-duty officer took down the license plate number. Scott was busted yesterday
and charged with criminal impersonation.
KANSAS COP-SEXTING
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - Looks like there's going to be a plea deal in the "sexting"
case involving a former Kansas police officer. Calvin Schaffer had arrested a
woman on drunken driving charges. He was accused of sending her naked pictures
of himself from a police department computer. Federal prosecutors charge
Schaffer offered to try to get the DUI charges dropped in exchange for sex. At a
hearing yesterday, prosecutors told a federal judge they expect the case to be
resolved with a plea agreement.
