Mass pillow fights cross borders
ODD NEWS
People in cities across the globe have taken part in mass pillow fights as part of International Pillow Fight Day.
In London's Trafalgar Square, people came dressed in pajamas, dressing gowns and fancy dress to take part in the good natured pillowfight Saturday afternoon. Most people carried feather-filled pillows that exploded as they fought.
London's Metropolitan Police said Sunday that the event had been peaceful and they had no reports of any trouble.
Organizers listed similar events in more than 130 cities around the world.
The fights were organized by The Urban Playground Movement which wants to encourage people to make use of public spaces.
2010 Census counts forgotten residents of Lost Springs, Wyo.
The Wyoming town of Lost Springs can finally count on the Census to get its population correct: four, not one.
The Casper Star-Tribune reports that the Census Bureau somehow missed four other residents of the town when it counted only one person in 2000.
The cause of that mistake wasn't clear. Leda Price, who lives on the west side of the one-block Main Street, jokes that officials must have counted only her side of town.
The 2010 Census, however, got it right this time when it found and counted all four of Lost Springs' residents. The newspaper reports that since the 2000 survey, two residents died but a newcomer moved in.
A 16-year-old Illinois girl has been given $150 in tickets after the worried victims of her April Fools' Day prank called police.
April Fools' prank costs trickster $150
Bloomington police say the girl texted her friend and cousin Friday morning and said she'd been robbed and shot in the foot.
The pair called police, who rushed to a home where they found the 16-year-old safe. She hadn't been robbed or shot.
The (Bloomington) Pantagraph reports the girl received a $100 ticket for disorderly conduct and a $50 ticket for truancy because she wasn't in school Friday.
Police say she could have been criminally charged with filing a false police report.
