**Stop wearing bunny suit, police tell Idaho man **

SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - Police in Idaho Falls have told a man to stop wearing a bunny suit in public after people complained he has been frightening children.

Residents in the northwestern city of 54,000 people also reported William Falkingham, 34, occasionally wears a tutu with the bunny suit, police said in a statement on Tuesday.

Police warned Falkingham after a woman said she saw him dressed in the costume, peeking at her young son from behind a tree and pointing his finger like a gun.

While a police report said other residents were “greatly disturbed” by his activities, one neighbor defended Falkingham as eccentric but otherwise harmless.

“He’s got the bunny outfit, a cowboy suit and a ballerina dress but you don’t see him except where he’s tripping through his backyard,” Deborah Colson told Reuters. “He’s got a strange lifestyle at home but we all do weird things at home.”

Bra chain record comes apart at the seams

LONDON (Reuters) - A British attempt to set a new world record for the longest chain of brassieres was called off after volunteers got the lingerie in a twist.

Campaigners at “Bra Chain” hoped to hook together over 100 miles of bras in Worcester, a city in the English West Midlands, to raise money for women’s charities and beat the current world record of 166,000 linked brassieres, held by Australia.

“We underestimated the time it would take to get the bras out of their boxes and hooked together - there were bras all over the place,” said Launa Walker at Bra Chain.

“It does take a lot of time to assemble bras into a chain and after about nine hours of hooking them up we decided to call it a day,” Walker told Reuters.
