Man Fishes for Bet in Bath Race Off Great Elils

A club sport tale from Staten Island describes a bet between a fish story fan and a swimmer. The wager: land a blackfish using a trout line attached to the swimmer’s shoulders. Over seven minutes of tugging in a city bath, the angler reeled in the fish after multiple near misses and a dramatic final strike. The episode ends with laughter and the famous tale likely to grow.

Antiquity of beds and bedding through ages in Europe and beyond

A cramped historical note traces beds from ancient times to Henry VII England, noting feather and air cushions, mattresses, and luxuries. It mentions Roman feather beds, Egyptian and Greek bed types, Russian peasant practice, and Dutch and German bedsteads with dual feather comfort setups, with a late 18th century feel from Philadelphia.
