SNIPPETS

APRIL 6,  2009

DETROIT (AP) -- Police in Detroit have ruffled some feathers after they cracked down on an organized pillow fight at a downtown park.  The Detroit News reports that police at Campus Martius Park prevented the feathery fight Saturday by disarming pillow-toting participants. The bout was part of a worldwide event organized on social networking Web sites.

Look, today pillows, tomorrow bombs.  You've got to nip this stuff in the bud.

Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard was robbed while visiting Detroit, losing his cell phone in the incident, his communications director says.  Communications Director Robert Vane, who also serves as Ballard's deputy chief of staff, said the mayor's cell phone was taken when the Indianapolis official was accosted walking to his Detroit hotel Saturday, WRTV, Indianapolis, said Monday.

Stop complaining.  The police were on important pillow-fight duty.

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German woman has divorced her husband because she was fed up with him cleaning all the time.  German media reported the wife got through 15 years of marriage putting up with the man's penchant for doing household chores, tidying up and rearranging the furniture.  But she ran out of patience when he knocked down and rebuilt a wall at their home when it got dirty, Christian Kropp, court judge in the central town of Sondershausen, said on Thursday.

Sometimes German efficiency just doesn't cut it.
