Women in several countries are sending their panties to Burma and Burmese embassies in a culturally insulting gesture that may actually have some logic behind it.  The group, Lanna Action for Burma, says the country's superstitious generals, especially junta leader Gen. Than Shwe, believe that contact with women's underwear saps them of power.

Ladies, you'll find the address here.  Guys, well, there's no mention for us, but if you'd like to know some other things the generals are superstitious about check here.  You'll also find some related news stories below.
