No joke! Bring your pillows to Washington Square Park on Saturday for International Pillow Fight Day. The event will be held at 3 p.m. Washington Square Park, 210 W. Washington Square. It is free for all ages, but kids should come with adults. It is also rain or shine, but the forecast for Philadelphia is 52 degrees and mostly cloudy skies. Bring your own feather-free pillow. You can donate your pillow afterwards to Got Laundry who will wash them and distribute to the homeless. Cities around the world are hosting their own pillow fight events tomorrow such as Amsterdam, Rome, Budapest, Rio de Janeiro, and Bangalore, India. The event is organized by Caleb Derby of the Edible Forrest Urban Farmin Norristown. For more information go to http://pillowfightday.com or the Facebook event page.

A bill was introduced in Delaware on Thursday that could make the First State the ninth state to legalize recreational marijuana. Democratic Representative Helene Keeley introduced House Bill 110, or the Delaware Marijuana Control Act, that would regulate marijuana like alcohol. Possession of small amounts of marijuana was decriminalized a year and a half ago and medical marijuana became legal in 2011. The bill proposes licenses and fees for merchants and taxes on sales. The bill would need a two thirds majority to pass, which would mean finding support on both sides of the aisle.

A man was killed in a head-on collision in Roxborough on Friday afternoon. It happened around 3:30 p.m. Friday on Henry Avenue near Barnes Street. The man in his 60's was traveling northbound on Henry when he lost control and collided head-on with a vehicle going southbound. He was taken to Einstein Medical Center when he later died. The other driver, a woman in her 20's, was taken to Temple University Hospital in critical condition. Police believe that weather was a factor in the crash. Steady rain was falling and the roads were wet at the time.
