A car buried 50 years back to be dug up now, to fulfill a 50 year old contest!

This is weird! Some people had buried a car 50 years ago, in 1957. The instructions were to award the car and $100 to the winner of a contest held in 1957.

The results were to be announced in 2007 and the prize given in the same year!

And what was the contest? A simple question - what would be the population of Tulsa county in 2007! The replies were sealed and buried in 1957 along with the car, to be opened in 2007, compared with the census and the person with the answer closest to the actual population was to be awarded the prize this year!!!

Do you Pillow-Fight? May be you could take it up as a career!

Wow! This is one of the wonderful sports that can be!

I used to find pillow-fighting really cute and a friendly fight. Very much like two young puppies playfully pushing and biting each other in the morning sun!

Pillow fights can be a pleasant way to express mock displeasure... kids, sppuses, siblings... all use the down-filled cloth bag for a bit of fun filled contest!

But here is a real contest - The Pillow Fighting League!
