A piglet’s paradise, a superstar vacation and a “man-sized” mistake. Here is this week’s non-political news.

This Bahamas piglet-paradise island is making our dreams come true. You can interact and swim alongside swine in Big Major Cay, and the theories of how they got there are endless.
A sexist size
Kleenex is throwing out their “Mansize” tissue packages after 62 years and rebranding them to “Kleenex extra large,” after receiving a “consistent increase of complaints.”
A royal price
Start saving up: you’re just $2 million away from feeling like a queen. Jewels that once belonged to the last queen of France, Marie Antoinette, are going up for auction. The collection includes a diamond ring, a pearl pendant, a necklace and a brooch.
An alcoholic warning

A sweet mystery
Police officers in Florida chased a stolen Krispy Kreme van for about 200 miles. They recovered dozens of doughnuts and donated most of them to the homeless – after, of course, keeping a few for themselves.
An answered prayer
A Madonna-style holiday. The superstar’s former home in South Kensington is on the market as a luxury vacation rental for $963 a night.
