It would be worth joining Yahoo for a few minutes to read the rest of the message about how the book was written, but I don't find any obvious message number to look it up under. It's probably the only message with "bra" in the subject line posted on that date, though.

Dr. Calvin Rickson, a scientist from Texas A&M University has invented a bra that keeps women's breasts from jiggling and prevents the nipples from pushing through the fabric when cold weather sets in.

After a news conference announcing the invention, a large group of men took Dr. Rickson outside and kicked the shit out of him.

My PHYSICIAN advised me to wear underwire bras. I don't find them uncomfortable.
