Thought for the Day

An April Fools' Day prank in Boston's Public Garden in 2011 warning people not to photograph sculptures. It refers to Make Way for Ducklings, the 1941 children’s book written and illustrated by Robert McCloskey. It’s the story of a pair of mallards who decide to raise their family on an island in the lagoon in the park.

Eating sprees improve your health.
Shopping sprees increase your wealth.
Drinking sprees enhance your cool.
