\u27a2 There\u2019s a new trend on social media in which wives prank their husbands by texting them a photo of a \u201cmale night dress\u201d and offer to purchase it for them. They then share their husband\u2019s response. The garment is actually real, and is sold by Wish and Amazon. It\u2019s called the \u201cComfort Henley Short Sleeve Nightshirt Patchwork Sleep Shirt.\u201d The prank started in an Australian mothers\u2019 group on Facebook. Most men sent back expletive-filled responses saying they would not wear it, while others gave in. One said \u201cHaha for real? I\u2019d look like Ebenezer Scrooge!\u201d Others were simply polite saying they didn\u2019t like it and did not want it.<\/p>\n

Nearly 100 similar coins minted in silver are known to exist, but the one that sold for $3.5 million in the late October auction is one of only three known to survive that were minted in gold.<\/p>\n
