Description: ueen of Halloween
Well I hope everyone had a happy Halloween because supermodel Heidi Klum sure did. Klum is the queen of Halloween and throws the best Halloween party in New York City. By the way Heidi, I didn't get my invitation… Must have gotten mixed up in the mail. Anyways, celebrity-A-listers like designer Marc Bouwer, actor Eric West, singer Nicole Scherzinger, even Jennifer Lopez showed up. And just when we thought J-Lo took the cake for best dressed, Heidi Klum showed up and stole the show. Klum dressed up as Jessica Rabbit, and explained that it took most of the day to put the costume on — from about noon until her arrival at the party — and that it takes about an hour and a half to take it off. If only she was still with her ex-husband Seal, she could have had some help taking it off. And if only I got my invitation in the mail… Next year Heidi, next year.

Stick figure helps nab suspect
In America, an 11-year-old girl did some fine police work when she was asked to sketch out a photo of the burglar who was stealing from a neighborhood in Stratford, Connecticut. Now the girl admits its nowhere near "fine art", but it did help the cops catch the suspect. It seems like from the picture the guy had two legs, ummm two arms and what looked to be a head… But hey, give the girl some credit, she tried her best and worked. Good job!

Description: Long and complicated
First up, Something Long and Complicated. No, not the story, the name, it's something long and complicated… Let me back up a bit. In 2007, a man in London named William Wood decided he wanted something a little more, well, long, and complicated, for his name and so he changed it to just that, "Mr Something Long and Complicated". Somewhat surprisingly, he didn't run into too much trouble with his new name until his Facebook account was closed, the social network somewhat disbelieving that his name could be so Long… and complicated. Mr Complicated went through a series of, long and complicated measures but did manage to get his account back online. He was relieved to regain access to his Facebook account because there were precious photos of his wedding on there, with his beautiful bride, who by all accounts is short and easy.
