Did you ever wonder why you spend Halloween night going door to door asking for candy? The answer is NOT the obvious: because people are willing to fill your bag with treats! Check out Fact Monster's history of Halloween traditions.

Instead of saying "trick or treat" when you knock on your neighbor's door on Halloween, greet them with a silly monster joke. With any luck, you'll walk away with a few extra pieces of candy!

Pick up a humorous book and join thousands of teens across the country who are participating in Teen Read Week.

Every October, the Young Adult Library Services Association, part of the American Library Association, sponsors Teen Read Week to encourage teenagers to read for the fun of it. The theme of this year's Teen Read Week (October 14–20, 2007), "LOL @ your library," features humorous books and graphic novels.
