Canadian pizza restaurant Boston Pizza teamed up with an advertising agency John St. to design a thing we’ve all been unconsciously waiting for — a box that turns into a tray which lets you enjoy your favorite pizza in bed … On the top and bottom of the restaurant and john st.’s box, two additional layers of cardboard are placed — the user can fold them and fix in the appropriate holes to create the legs of the table.

Aretha Franklin with her father,
Bishop C.L. Franklin (1915 – 1984), and her sister, fellow singer
Erma Franklin
(1938 – 2002) in New York, 1971.
C.L. Franklin served as the pastor of New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit from 1946 to 1979. The church was a commonplace for orgies which Ray Charles described as a “sex circus.” In 1940, while married to his daughter’s mother, Barbara Siggers, C.L. Franklin fathered a daughter named Carl Ellan Kelley (née Jennings) by Mildred Jennings, a 12-year-old girl in his New Salem Baptist Church congregation. Aretha also became pregnant at the age of just 12 in 1954. She gave birth to a baby boy she named Clarence Franklin, after her dad on January 28, 1955. Rumors swirled that her own father was the father of her first child but it was Donald Burk, a guy she knew from school. At the age of 14 on January 22, 1957, Aretha had a second child named Edward Franklin after his father Edward Jordan. In 1979, C.L. was shot during an attempted robbery. He remained in a coma until his death in 1984.
Erma, the oldest of C.L. Franklin’s six children died of throat cancer in 2002.
