Weird News of the Day
RAVENNA, Ohio - A woman arrested for breast-feeding while driving is appealing to a higher authority. Catherine Nicole Donkers says she wants the Bible to be the law, when she goes on trial today. She was busted in May when a trucker called 911 to report a woman breast-feeding her baby while behind the wheel. Donkers doesn't deny she was nursing her baby on the Ohio Turnpike, but contends she was improperly charged. She and her common-law husband are members of the First Christian Fellowship for Eternal Sovereignty. They take a dim view of government authority and believe it's wrong to require people to have driver's licenses, Social Security numbers or marriage licenses.
Fact of the Day
Without any greenhouse effect, Earth would be cold and lifeless with an average temperature of 0.4 degrees Fahrenheit (-17.6C).
