He takes photos. Rates the food on various rankings. And is generally adorable. Each lunch costs two pounds, which seems steep for some of these offerings. NeverSeconds

April Fools at Think Geek

Every year I get more and more tired of April Fools on the internet. It's basically the day when everyone pitches bizarre dream products to the world at large and then doesn't follow up on them. It's a day of heartbreak, is what I'm saying. Or it's a day when news sites run bizarre stories in an attempt to joke with people, only to find out in their comments sections that no one expects jokes from a news site and horrified readers have murdered their pets and begun to dig fallout shelters under their bathtubs. That said! Some people do create some pretty funny gags on this day and it'd be a shame to lump them in with the Goofuses of the world. Think Geek has always done a pretty good job on this day--especially because they take one of their fake products and make it real, blurring that edge between their normal geek bait and the typical lies of April 1st. This holiday they are featuring an Admiral Ackbar version of that singing bass on a trophy plaque, Minecraft Creeper-themed peeps, a talking Skyrim hoodie that shouts FUS RO DAH, and an inflatable Starfleet captain's chair. I hope the chair wins. ThinkGeek :: Star Trek Inflatable Captain's Chair

Oakland 6th-graders find treasure in Lake Merritt

Oakland 6th-graders find treasure in Lake Merritt
A student was scooping up trash with a long net from the shore near Grand and Harrison streets when she spotted two bags about the size of reusable grocery totes sitting in about 2 feet of water, said Richard Bailey, executive director of the Lake Merritt Institute. The bags were heavy and she couldn't scoop them up, Bailey said, so he waded out in hip boots and pulled them to shore. The canvas bags weighed about 15 pounds each and made a lot of clinking as they moved, Bailey said. The students, excited to see what sort of booty was inside, crowded around their find. When they opened the bags, the group erupted in thrilled shrieks. It was a real treasure: rings, necklaces, brooches, bracelets, candlesticks, coins, medallions and silverware filled each bag. . . .
