  Fluff Fluff: From Camp Dog to Millionaire Mutt October 2, 2009 A camp dog from an outback central Australian community has moved from death row to millionaires row after being adopted by a resident in one of Sydney's richest suburbs. Fluff Fluff, also known as Mr Fluff or just Fluff, came into the yard of Bob Gosford, who lives in Yuendumu, 300 kilometres north-west of Alice Springs, as a very sick puppy earlier this year. But the once scruffy mutt has since been re-housed by a volunteer group called PAWS in the Sydney suburb of Darling Point. Mr Gosford says the terrier cross with one floppy ear has had a name change to go with its new image. The dog is now called Mali and has managed to outperform many of his new canine neighbours in the style stakes, winning Woollahra Council's cutest dog photo competition. "We were sent through a link to the Woollahra Council home page and there's this beautiful photo of Fluff Fluff in all his glory without the sort of red desert sand," Mr Gosford said. "And all of a sudden he turns into a white dog instead of a red dog. "There he is and he won first prize which was $250 worth of photo shoot." 'Advertising cars' Mr Gosford expects the dog's career to take-off. "I think there's a lot more that Fluff will go on to," he said. "He'll be, you know, advertising cars. "I think he'll be getting a few more pedicures. "He'll be on the dog shampoo and the dog conditioner. "You know, he'll have a diamond-studded collar." For the original article, go here.

  Arsonists Torch Giant Simpsons Doughnut September 28, 2009 Arsonists have attacked a large doughnut sculpture in New Zealand's town of Springfield. The bright pink 4.5-metre high doughnut was given to the South Island town by 20th Century Fox in 2007 to promote the premiere of The Simpsons Movie. But Homer would be heartbroken after the sculpture was set on fire on Saturday. Springfield resident Bill Woods says the doughnut now has an extra hole in it. "It's so disappointing because that doughnut has provided enjoyment for tens of thousands of people in the past two years," he said. Mr Woods says some locals did not like the look of the doughnut, but he says they should not have torched it. For the original article, go here.

  Dear Miss Smarty Pants, If I cheat on a test, I get a better grade. Why is it if I cheat on a diet, I don't get better results? Thankee Dear Thankee, When you cheat on a diet, the diet gets mad. Then you have a mad diet that wants to exact revenge as soon as possible. So the diet calls up all the spare pounds that the other diets have lost and has them attack you when you aren't looking. Diets are pretty jealous, so don't cheat if you don't want to be attacked by previous pounds. Miss Smarty Pants

One time I went skiing and there was a tree that had all sorts of stuff in it. People just threw things into the tree as the ski lift went by. The beads and scarves I could understand, but the underwear and lingerie... that didn't make sense. I think it would be uncomfy to ski without skivvies. Miss Smarty Pants
