Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s wedding guests are already trying to sell their gift bags on eBay. The bags were given to 1,200 members of the public who were chosen by ballot to celebrate on the Windsor Castle grounds and watch the wedding ceremony from outside of the building. The bags are being sold for up to $1200 USD, which is VERY steep considering that they consist of just a commemorative tote, a magnet, a biodegradable poncho, a chocolate coin, some shortbread, and a can of water.

TODAY’S GOOD NEWS
A couple in Fargo, North Dakota named Mike and Jenny Stevens opened a Little Caesars franchise back in 2015. And about two years ago, they noticed that homeless people kept looking for leftover pizza in their dumpster outside.
So they put up a sign that said anyone who couldn’t afford to eat could come in and get some fresh HOT pizza, free of charge.
The sign in their window says, “You’re a human being and worth more than a meal from a dumpster. Please come in during operating hours for a couple slices of hot pizza and a cup of water at no charge. No questions asked.”
For the last two years, they’ve kept that promise . . . and given away over 142,000 slices of pizza, or about $70,000 worth of food.
Sadly, Mike was diagnosed with leukemia, and passed away last year at 66. But Jenny hasn’t stopped giving away pizza.
She says Mike was extremely passionate about it, because it was a small thing they could do every day that made a big difference for people.
Locals sometimes help with the cost by leaving change behind on the counter. And there’s also a GoFundMe page to help them pay for next year.

Man Who Stole Dozens of Garden Gnomes Is Now a Fugitive on the Run

The Police Are Hunting For Two Thieves Who Look Like Milli Vanilli
The police in Columbus, Ohio are hunting for two thieves who’ve used fake IDs to get temporary passes to at least half a dozen gyms. And then, once they’re inside, they use bolt cutters to break into a bunch of lockers to steal other guys’ wallets.
And the main feature of these two dudes is . . . they look weirdly similar to the two guys from MILLI VANILLI.
Like Milli Vanilli, they have long hair that’s done into thin braids . . . and, they’re pretending to be someone they’re not to make money. Police are
Anyway, the cops are hoping for help tracking them down . . . but so far they don’t have any leads.

SCARRED FOR LIFE:
According to researchers, those are probably the kind of people who enjoyed Phys-ed class as school children. A study shows that how people felt about P.E. as kids has a direct bearing to how they feel about exercise today, and as a result, how active they tend to be as adults.
That means that if you have traumatic memories of being picked last for the volleyball team in gym class, or if you never fit in with the ‘jocks’ in school, you might be less likely to enjoy being active even now.
Researchers concluded that gym teachers might have more success in encouraging life-long physical fitness if they focus on ways to make kids have fun in doing exercise, rather than concentrating on things like how many pull-ups they can do or how many three-pointers they can shoot.
