Mind The Boulders

What the heck is it with news from Cyprus lately? For a little bitty island, it's been in the news a lot.

Women on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus are working on a project to string bras together for the twin reasons of raising awareness of breast cancer and trying like heck to get into the Guinness Book of World Records. The women have racked up assets of about 100,000 bras collected from all over the world. The organizers hope to say ta-ta to the current record holders in Singapore. Now, Cyprus has some tough terrain, so mind the boulders, ladies.

We here at Blue Crab Boulevard heartily encourage the spontaneous donation of brassieres on the part of bystanders should the effort look like it might fall short. We wouldn't want it to be a bust.

Kidding aside: Breast cancer kills more than 400,000 women all over the world every year. Regular screening, especially for women over 50, should be performed.
