(Newser) – An Ohio woman warned police that she was a breastfeeding mom—and then she opened fire with her right breast, NBC4i reports. Drunk at a wedding reception, Stephanie Robinette got into an argument with her husband, who told police that she repeatedly hit him. She locked herself in her car before someone contacted police. When they arrived, she shouted profanities and wouldn’t exit the vehicle.

She "proceeded to remove her right breast from her dress and began spraying deputies and the vehicle with her breast milk," the sheriff said. "This is a prime example of how alcohol can make individuals do things they would not normally do." Her charges include domestic violence and disorderly conduct, the New York Daily News reports.

Einstein Wrong? Maybe Just Faulty Wiring

A simple loose cord may explain last year's controversy

(NEWSER) - More evidence that last year's furor over the accuracy of Albert Einstein's work got blown way out of proportion: Physicists believed they'd seen particles traveling faster than light , a phenomenon that would disprove the theory of relativity. But the controversial observations may have been the result of nothing more than a loose wire, experts say. A GPS error may have caused the mistake, says a scientist at CERN, where the initial results were reported. More»

Swedish Hospital Hiring 'TV-Hot' Nurses

Hospital says phrase came from a former patient

(NEWSER) - If you've ever been admitted to the hospital and thought, "Man, these nurses really aren't as attractive as the ones on TV," apparently you should visit Sweden's Stockholm South General. In a recent job advertisement, that hospital recruited nurses who are "motivated," "professional," … and "TV-series hot." The nursing manager claims the hospital simply wanted to "stick out a bit with our advertising campaign" and get some attention—and the plan worked, the Local reports. More»

Bullet From Mexico Hits Woman in Texas

El Paso woman injured by Juarez shootout

(NEWSER) - El Paso is considered one of America's safest cities, but it was painfully reminded of its proximity to one of the world's most dangerous yesterday. As cops battled carjackers in Ciudad Juarez, a stray bullet crossed the border and struck a Texas woman in the leg as she shopped in downtown El Paso, AP reports. The 48-year-old woman was pushing a child in a stroller at the time. The bullet, apparently fired a few hundred feet from the US border, exited cleanly, and the victim was treated in a local hospital and released. More»

Town Considers 'WTF' Slogan

Fruita, Colorado residents would translate that as 'Welcome to Fruita'

(NEWSER) - A Colorado town with the motto "Honor the Past, Envision the Future" is considering three more letters to advertise itself: "WTF"—as in, "Welcome to Fruita." A couple printed out 500 stickers with the term and handed them out to businesses in downtown Fruita, sparking the idea of a new marketing campaign. But not everyone is thrilled, ABC Denver reports. "If they’re creative enough to come up with WTF, they’re creative enough to come up with something that doesn’t insult the sensitivities of people," says Mayor Ken Henry. More»

Coming Soon to the Moon: Volcanoes?

Core magma could rise to surface as moon cools

(NEWSER) - The globe might be warming, but the moon is getting cooler—and that means someday, the magma inside it could erupt. It wouldn't be the first time: The moon also had volcanoes hundreds of millions of years ago, the Daily Mail notes. Now scientists in Amsterdam say the cooling temperature will reduce the lunar magma's density, prompting it to move upward. "What a sight that would be," says a researcher. More»
