can't make this shit up. Yet, upon further research... "I'm stuck in a closet and its name is O'ahu ." ...maybe I don't much mind the alohawear movement, after all.  "I live in O'ahu, too."

  The pidyon haben , ( Hebrew : פדיון הבן ‎) or redemption of the first born son , is a mitzvah in Judaism whereby a Jewish firstborn son is redeemed by use of silver coins from his birth-state of sanctity.

For more legal analysis of the dispute when it broke in October, we spoke to fashion law and intellectual property expert professor  Susan Scafidi   here . (from Gawker)

' Mandeville related these facts at the beginning of the second part of his travels in speaking of Chana, a small island off the Indian coast. . . . Menocchio's mental universe now consisted of Inda and Cathay and islands inhabited by cannibals, Pigmies and men with the heads of dogs.  It was on the subject of Pigmies that Mandeville wrote a page destined to enjoy an extraordinary success: 'they are people short in stature, who are about three spans long: and they are beautiful and graceful, both men and women, because of their smallness.  They marry whe...
