Pillow-Fighting League
Pillow-fights are no longer reserved for pajama parties and pre-teen girls. Now, adult women are getting involved, and it's getting serious.
The Pillow-Fight League is the newest spectator sport to take Toronto by storm.
Ever since its inception early last year, the league's events, where women have pillow-fights, have been drawing big crowds and raking in big money.
The league was the brainchild of Stacey Case, a 38-year-old T-shirt printer and musician.
Case got the idea when he went to see a burlesque troop, and when the group broke out into a pillow fight, women from the audience stood up to join them.
"It was really, really fun, and really funny that they were actually fighting for real. I woke up the next day, and I was like, "Oh my God, that was awesome," he said.
After placing some local ads, Case and friends were booking events, and the league soon grew into having 22 fighters, a big fan base and lots of ambition.
The fighters go by names such as Boozy Suzie, Lynn Somnia and Betty Clock'er, and they take on specific personas, such as "the waitress from hell" and a "cushion-swinging housewife."

Man Jailed for Trying to
Sell His Wife
A Malawian polygamist has been jailed for four years and three months for attempting to sell his second wife.
The officials from the prime tourist district Mangochi said Green Dyton, who wanted to keep his "number one wife," pleaded guilty to the charge of offering his second wife Lisiya for sale for $570 to sort out his financial woes.
Dyton was arrested after a man who wanted to buy the wife tipped police off.
Magistrate Delezina Gomiwa told the offender: "This is a serious crime and I therefore sentence you to 52 months imprisonment with hard
labor in order to deter others from committing a similar offence."
Selling a person in the poor south-eastern African nation carries a maximum sentence of seven years.

The Good Napkins
My mother taught me to read when I was four years old (her first
mistake)
One day, I was in the bathroom and noticed one of the cabinet doors was ajar.
I read the box in the cabinet. I then asked my mother why she was keeping napkins' in the bathroom. Didn't they belong in the kitchen? Not wanting to burden me with unnecessary facts, she told me that those were for "special
occasions" (her second mistake).
Now fast forward a few months....It's Thanksgiving Day, and my folks are leaving to pick up my uncle and his wife for dinner.
Mom had assignments for all of us while they were gone.
Mine was to set the table. When they returned, my uncle came in First and immediately burst into laughter.
Next came his wife who gasped, then began giggling. Next came my father, who roared with laughter.
Then came Mom, who almost died of embarrassment when she saw each place setting on the table with a "special occasion" Kotex napkin at each plate,
with the fork carefully arranged on top. I had even tucked the little tail in so
they didn't hang off the edge!!
My mother asked me why I used these and, of course, my response sent he other adults into further fits of laughter.
"But, Mom, you said they were for special occasions!!!"
Isn't it easier to just tell the truth?????????
