Shark at a Pub

Now where did I leave that shark?

You know it's Shark Week when people get so distracted with watching mockumentaries like Megalodon: The Monster Shark That Lives ("lives" here is interpreted very very very liberally, as Megalodon is actually extinct) that they just forgot where they left their sharks (on a train, maybe?)

Did you leave your shark in front of the Sea Dog Brew Pub on Nantucket, Massachusetts? Bar manager Jimmy Agnew wants to know! Perhaps he's just there to "meet his chums."

In the first episode, a team of space travelers is exploring the deep reaches of space and uncharted planet ... in order to build intergalactic convenience stores. Starring Felicia Day, Dana Snyder, Doug Benson and others. Written and directed by Adam de la Peña (of Code Monkey's fame).

Banks Putting Humans Back Inside ATMs

Alex

So first they take out all the tellers in the banks and replace them with ATMs, then they complete the circle by putting humans back ... inside the ATMs!

New interactive ATMs by NCR lets customers interact with a live person on their ATMs through videochat. Banks claim that these machines are more convenient, faster and ... as a bonus, also safer. Willard Ross of Coastal Federal Credit Union in Raleigh, North Carolina, said that "robberies basically go away with this."

Herb Welsbaum of NBC News has the story.

4-Year-Old Boy Re-Elected as Mayor

Alex

So. What did you accomplish when you were four years old? Robert "Bobby" Tufts hasn't even made it to preschool yet but he's already been elected mayor. Twice!

According to the Politico, Bobby was only three years old when he won election for Mayor of the tiny town of Dorset, Minnesota, last year and he won again this year:

Mayor Tufts’ name was picked Sunday during annual Taste of Dorset festival to be mayor of Dorset for a second term. It has no formal city government and has a population of 22 to 28, depending on whether the minister and his family are in town.

Anyone could vote as many times as they like - for $1 a vote - at any of the ballot boxes in stores around town. The proceeds go toward organizing the festival.

After that, going to preschool must be a cinch!

Cat lover Diane Less Baird and dog lover Polly Wardle started a pet project called Angels for Animals out of their homes before they bought an abandoned slaughter house and converted it into a sanctuary for animals.

Inside the massive building is this gigantic "Tree of Marie" cat tree - a 24 foot high, $100,000 cat tree with 36 branches named after donor Marie Stillings. At each branches' ends are resting pods covered with green carpet that let cats lounge in style. It's currently the world's largest cat tree.

Doctor Who: Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor

Alex

The wait is over: BBC has announced in a live event that Peter Capaldi will star as the 12th Doctor in its hit sci-fi series Doctor Who.

Capaldi, a 55-year-old actor from Glasgow, will replace Matt Smith as the time-traveling Doctor. "It's wonderful not to keep this secret any longer," Capaldi said, "but it's been so fantastic ... For a while I couldn't tell my daughter who would be looking on the Internet and discovering that people have been saying so-and-so should be Doctor Who and she was getting rather upset that they never mentioned me."

Playing the Doctor will actually not be Capaldi's first time starring in the series. In 2008, he played Roman merchant Caecilius who escaped the eruption of Mount Vesuvius thanks to intervention by the Doctor in The Fires of Pompeii episode.

Lead writer and executive producer Steve Moffat, praised Capaldi as "One of the most talented actors of his generation [who is] about to play the best part on television."

Some Doctor Who fans, however, question why the current regeneration breaks the seemingly "ever younger" regeneration of the Doctor.

Behold, The Seven Sins of Coen's Cinema. See if you can name all the movies:
