Bite Size News

lobsters on the Cape
Image of lobsters on the Cape by Chris Seufert from photos tagged "Bostonist" on Flickr.
  • The First Baptist Church of Lynn was struck by lightning yesterday, which can only perpetuate the saying, "Lynn, Lynn, city of sin..." [Boston Herald]

  • Although the incredibly buff (yet disabled) jake, Albert Arroyo, surmised he could avoid termination by not showing up to work; the Boston Fire Department is still kicking his gluteus maximus to the curb. [Boston Channel]

  • Store your acorns for the winter, fellow squirrels. Heating costs are predicted to rise 15% to 30%. [Boston Globe]

  • Someone actually bid $147,000 in an auction to be the snobbiest person on the Cape -- err, to win the "#1" Cape & Islands license plate. [Cape Cod Times]

  • Maybe it was the Cape Cod family that auctioned a painting for a $1 million, which had been passed down for generations unaware of the value. [Boston Globe]

  • Barack Obama is having his birthday party in Boston tonight. It happens to be a big-bucks fundraising dinner at the State Room. Gov. Patrick and Sen. Kerry may also put on their party hats tonight. [Politcker MA]

  • Sen. Kennedy may not be healthy enough to attend the Democratic National Convention, but he taped a message over the weekend to address the party faithful in Denver. [WHDH]

  • After 9 months, the BPD's $1.5-million gunshot-detection system has aided in 10 arrests and can usually identify firecrackers -- but it's getting better all the time! [Boston Globe]
