    Hundreds of panties turn up along Ohio road

    LANCASTER, Ohio (AP) — Authorities in central Ohio are trying to solve a panties puzzle: why hundreds of pairs of mostly women's underwear were dumped along the side of a road.

    Fairfield County Deputy Gary Hummel said Thursday the undergarments were found in trees and on hillsides in several spots this week on a road in Berne Township, about 30 miles southeast of Columbus.

    He says some of the panties were still folded the way they'd come in packaging, while others appeared to have been worn. There were nearly 1,700 pairs in all, in a mix of colors and patterns. Hummel says when collected, they filled 10 large trash bags.

    He says investigators are "baffled" as to where the panties came from.

      I hope they were donated to a shelter, or something equally as worthy.

      Most of the panties were of smaller sizes. Cross-dressing deputy investigator Don Agown told reporters, "We have collected plenty of evidence in this case, but nothing seems to fit."

      Were they from a common manufacturer? Is someone filing an insurance claim? A practical joke doesn't seem too likely, ...cost too much. Imelda Marcos, the shoe queen lives nearby?

      Maybe someone stole Dr. Marcuth Bachmann's luggage and dumped the contents along the road...

      The mystery has been solved . The local FBI office after performing DNA testing on the panties found that they belonged to Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman. Now we know what caused his recent divorce . She wouldn't let Mikey wear the panties .

      Hundreds of panties turn up along Ohio road: I survived through a similar event in the early 1940s-----The Great Panties Storm of '43----the sky started to darken, inexplicably, with pastel colored panties whipped up high into the sky (no one til this day has found out how or why) indeed, so many so until the panties blocked out the sun and night came early. after a half hour, the storm died down and panties started to descend from its lofty heights and litter the Ohio roads rendering them impassable. It was terrible! Vehicle traffic came to a standstill, children could not attend school, commerce came to a halt. The rooftops of homes, businesses and even church towers were completely covered by the debris of falling panties. Water towers and reservoirs were contaminated and people had to boil water before ingesting it. days went by before things returned back to normal. i will never forget that ordeal as long as i live!
