The weather's getting warmer and necklines are dipping lower -- sometimes, too low. From the beach to the mall to the office, women seem to be showing off their cleavage more than ever before. Why? According to Elisabeth Squires, author of "Boobs: A Guide to Your Girls," American breasts are getting bigger while shirts are getting smaller. "We are seeing more cleavage these days for a few reasons. First, the fashion of the day is tight and skinny. At the same time, women are bigger than they were even 15 years ago.

Alabama gubernatorial candidate Loretta Nall, 32, hopes that her rack will attract voters to her platform: withdrawal of her state’s National Guard from Iraq; tax credits to send kids to private school or to home schooling them; opting out of the No Child Left Behind Act; decriminalizing pot; and not obeying the Patriot Act and the Real ID Act.

Scientists at The University of Manchester have discovered a new class of materials which have previously only existed in science fiction films and books. A team of British and Russian scientists led by Professor Geim have discovered a whole family of previously unknown materials, which are one atom thick and exhibit properties which scientists had never thought possible. Not only are they ultra-thin, but depending on circumstances they can also be ultra-strong, highly-insulating or highly-conductive, offering a wide range of unique properties for space-age engineers and designers to choose from. Professor Andre Geim said: "This discovery opens up practically infinite...

CINCINNATI -- Imagine it's a special day at school, and you're asked to leave because of what you're wearing. That's what happened to a 13-year-old girl at Holy Family Catholic School in Price Hill on the day of her May crowning and graduation pictures, WLWT reported. "I don't think nothing was wrong with the dress," eighth-grader Dannielle Fuqua said. But she was told otherwise because the dress was too revealing, according to the principal. "I was crying until I got home, and I was still crying when I got home," Fuqua said. Added her mother, Kathy Meyer: "They said Dannielle's...

Miss Suleman, whose bra size is 36D, believes her breasts are attracting too much attention from viewers. Indeed, there are more than 100 Internet sites dedicated to her figure. And she thinks that will stop her getting a job with other stations such as the BBC. 'Much as I would like to, I can't exactly see myself sitting alongside Fiona Bruce or Sophie Raworth.' University-educated Miss Suleman, 26, was turned down by the Corporation early in her career. 'I was doing unpaid work at my local BBC radio station in Eastbourne,' she explained. 'Eventually I did some paid work there...
