The article offers miscellaneous news briefs. Medieval travelers wore pilgrimage badges to fend off disease and other bad luck. The world's largest chessboard is located on the side of an office building in Manhattan and a building employee riding in a cherry picker moves one piece every week. A New Zealand couple, Fred and Myrtle Flutey, decorated nearly every square inch of their living room with colorful paua shells which was later donated it to the Canterbury Museum. .
