The Indonesian mother who created the Salma Muslim doll hopes the toy will help to inspire the virtue of modesty among girls.

28-year-old Sukmawati Suryaman's Barbie-like creation is the latest must-have toy for girls in Indonesia. Head scarfs and ankle-length dresses are in - bikinis and short skirts are out.

"She's so cute in her long-sleeves and ankle-length dress," 8-year-old Nabila said.

Is this Bruising Barbie that turns black and blue when you wipe her face with a ice cube?

That would be the Clinton Swollen-Lip Barbie.

In other news on the farm.......

Farmer Brown has a problem. His cows like to type. All day long he hears
Click, clack, moo. Click, clack, moo. Clickety, clack, moo.
At first he couldn't believe his ears. Cows that type? Impossible!
Click, clack, moo. Click, clack, moo. Clickety, clack, moo.
Then, he couldn't believe his eyes.
Cows: Dear Farmer Brown,
The barn is very cold at night.
We'd like some electric blankets.
Sincerely,
The Cows
It was bad enough the cows had found the old typewriter in the barn, now they wanted electric blankets! "No way! No electric blankets," said Farmer Brown. So the cows went on strike. They left a note on the barn door.
Cows: Sorry. We're closed. No milk today.
Farmer Brown: "No milk today!" cried Farmer Brown. In the background, he heard the cows busy at work.
Click, clack, moo. Click, clack, moo. Clickety, clack, moo.
The next day, he got another note:
Cows: Dear Farmer Brown,
The hens are cold too.
They'd like electric blankets.
Sincerely,
The Cows
The cows were growing impatient with the farmer. They left a new note on the barn door.
Closed. No milk. No eggs.
Farmer Brown: "No eggs!" cried Farmer Brown.
