My parents went to Christie’s and all I got was this lousy T-shirt: The New York auction house is putting 30 vintage rock concert T-shirts on the block this month, from such acts as The Beatles and Pink Floyd.
With some expected to go for as much as $4,500, that rustling sound you hear is 20,000 boomers rummaging through their closets for that tie-dyed Grateful Dead T-shirt.
La cucaracha (whir, click): Researchers in Belgium have built insect-sized robots and programmed them to mimic cockroaches. The robot roaches are so convincing that the scientists were able to use the robots to herd the real insects.
Sadly, the night janitor let loose a Roomba robot vacuum cleaner, which sucked up all the robot roaches, destroying them.
Pass the pease pottage, please: The South Camano Grange will offer a traditional Thanksgiving meal on Sunday — and by traditional, we mean colonists and Wampanoag Indians gathering in 1621.
For $15 you can share in pease pottage, turkey pottage and something called sobaheg, which we’re guessing is pottage.
