[/QUOTE]

“Can a 98 pound mom lift a Volkswagon to retrieve her dying child? Tonight, four unsuspecting families find out!”

We really need to spread some urban legends along these lines. We could also say that she has peculiar tattoos on her breasts, and a very interesting birthmark on her buttocks.
