Hedgehog Heiress Funds Art Museum

Calico the hedgehog, heiress to a vast toilet paper tube fortune, has announced plans to build a new art museum in Philadelphia, PA. 

The museum has been designed by famed architect Rem Koolhaas and will feature artworks by all the great hedgehog masters. It will also contain a special wing of artifacts from an ancient tribe of Māori hedgehogs.

“Calico has been a collector for years,” said museum curator Alison Kerny. “She’s amassed this amazing collection, but had no way to share it with the world. At the same time, most museums aren’t really designed for hedgehogs. They’re just too big.”

Calico’s museum is slated to open in 2017.

BREAKING: Hedgehog Pumpkin Thief Caught

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

Citizens of Derry, NH can rest easy this week – the culprit attempting to ruin their Fall fun has finally been apprehended. Calico the hedgehog had been wanted in connection with a string of pumpkin thefts over the past month.

“We caught him in the act,” says Officer Ron Gooden. “He was at a patch on Elm trying to make off with a few gourds. We don’t know what he could have wanted them for; there may have been a black market operation.”

The hedgehog is expected to be formally charged Tuesday.

“People are pretty relieved,” says Gooden. “I’m just glad it wasn’t Pumpkin Spice Lattes, that’d be a whole other story.”

Hedgehog’s One-Woman Show Is a Hit

Flora, a hedgehog from Grand Rapids, MI, is garnering rave reviews for her new one-woman show, Quills. The play, which tells the semi-autobiographical story of a hedgehog moving to the big city and finding and losing love in three acts, runs just over two hours.

“It’s a revelation,” gushed theater critic Sanderson Bowles in the local Grand Rapids Herald Review. “Flora delivers a raw, gritty performance that peels the onion on a thorny emotional time her life. She stuck me from act one.”

The play runs until Oct. 26 at the Barker Community Playhouse and there are rumors that Flora has been in talks with financiers for a national tour.
