Serb mother magnet- Serb mother claims son, nephew are human magnets. Two small boys from a central Serbian town are able to attract metal objects, acting much like human magnets, according to their mother. It's a claim that is raising doubts among some experts. Sanja Petrovic, the mother of 4-year-old David, said it first came to her attention "about a month ago." "I asked him to fetch me a spoon so I cold feed his little brother, and he yelled back: 'Mom, it sticks!'" Petrovic recalled. "I found him with several spoons and forks hanging from his body."

Fall Colors off the Beaten Track: Arizona
Arizona’s Sonoran Desert is known to aficionados as a desert with trees some of them deciduous hardwoods in the stream-fed canyons at the edge of the Sonoran. Oak Creek Canyon, north of Phoenix, is lined with oaks, maples and sycamores that fire up brilliant fall colors in October and November, especially along some of the side canyons that invite hikers welcoming the cooler temperatures of autumn. Unlike most other fall-color venues, from Oak Creek you can head back down to Phoenix and return to summer, polishing off your fall foliage tour with a day by the pool.

NY man sues burger joint saying booths too small- A New York man is suing White Castle, claiming the booths in one of its hamburger restaurants are too small. Martin Kessman says in the federal lawsuit filed last week that he was embarrassed in 2009 when he tried squeezing his 6-foot, 290-pound frame into the seating at a White Castle in Nanuet, N.Y. He says he slammed his knee into a metal post under the table and was in pain.
The lawsuit claims the restaurant could not accommodate a customer of Kessman's stature, in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act. The suit seeks an unspecified financial judgment.
Spokesman Jamie Richardson at White Castle headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, says the restaurant is being replaced and that the new one will have roomier seating.
