Thorp launched an online petition, saying the dress code was "outdated and sexist."
BANGKOK (AP) — Tossing coins in a fountain turned out to be bad luck for a sea turtle in Thailand. Today', doctors in Bangkok removed 915 coins from the stomach of the turtle, which had been living in the fountain. The coins the turtle ingested formed a heavy ball in her stomach that weighed 11 pounds and caused a life-threatening infection. Five surgeons working on the turtle nicknamed "Bank" took more than four hours to remove the coins while the turtle was under general anesthesia.
