Big Business

Marysville, Ohio

Man Cans is a fairly new business making its name prior to the sale of candles geared towards men.

A 13-year-old Ohio boy said his business, Man Cans, has sold about 500 scented candles with scents such as gear head and fresh mitt.

In a WCMH-TV report, Hart Main of Marysville, who founded the business in November, said he has so far sold 500 of the products on the Internet and in local stores.

“My sister was selling candles for school and I was making fun of her because they were really girlie scents and the idea came to me that there weren’t any man-scented candles,” Main said. He added that each candle costs about $2.50 to make and he sells them for $5 each.

Retailers said many of his customers are women. “You don’t have many guys coming in and getting them. Sometimes you hear them say, ‘My husband or boyfriend will love them.’ But a lot of ladies are buying them because they like the smell,” shop owner Eric McCauley said.

TEEN attempts to steal foetus

Maricopa, Arizona

An 18-year-old girl in is now behind bars for attempted first-degree murder, burglary and arson in the fall-out of a spoiled plan to kill her nine-month pregnant friend and claim the baby as her own.

Kassandra Toruga was caught red-handed by firefighters, who arrived at the prospective victim’s house to fight a blaze that was started in the closet by Toruga.

It is unknown how arson fit into Toruga’s plan, but the rest of it is clear, as she was found carrying a pair of butcher knives, scissors, and a bag with baby clothes and diapers.

In addition, Toruga’s Myspace page hosts an ultrasound photograph and she had reportedly been telling friends that she was pregnant.

Toruga confessed to her plot on the day of the fire and was arrested a few days later. She is now being granted bail in the sum of $500,000.

Burglary must be a tiring job

The TEENager has since been charged with burglary and will appear in Kaikohe District Court on Friday.
