In The News:

- National Look Alike Day on April 20th celebrates those who look like another person. Do you look like another family member, a famous person, or even a friend?

- Seashells pile up. The lack of tourists on the beaches of North Carolina’s Outer Banks due to the coronavirus pandemic has created a seashell-lover’s dream. The Cape Lookout National Seashore shared a video to Facebook showing large piles of colorful shells spread across a beach as waves splash over them. The shells are usually gathered by beach-goers every spring, but the number of collectors has been sharply curtailed due to coronavirus restrictions.

- Mother’s Day Delima. Mother’s Day is in May — will you get your mom or wife a gift even if she says, “Don’t get me anything?” What about her birthday, or Valentine’s Day? A survey finds that even if a wife or girlfriend says, “Don’t get me anything,” 88 percent of men will ignore her wishes and get her something. Good idea, since women in the survey said even if they say they don’t want anything, 63 percent still expect a small gift.

- Restaurant Quarantine. A man has been arrested after quarantining himself in a closed Connecticut restaurant and helping himself to thousands of dollars worth of food and drink during a four-day binge. Louis Angel Ortiz was arrested last week after allegedly eating his way through the supplies of a Cuban restaurant which has temporarily closed because of coronavirus. Ortiz inhaled several thousand dollars worth of food and booze, including roughly 70 bottles of liquor.

- Grab your toppings on April 20th... to celebrate National Cheddar Fries Day! What better way to enjoy your fries than with an indulgent dollop of cheddar cheese?

- Facebook Gaming app. Facebook wants you to stop playing game apps on your phone and install its Facebook Gaming app — you can play its mobile games instead. Facebook Gaming launches today and will include some casual games to play as well as community functions, but the focus will primarily be on watching and creating game livestreams. You can both catch up with streamers and use a Go Live feature to stream mobile games through your Facebook page.

- Hulk may come back to Marvel Studios. Marvel Studios continues to reclaim the rights to various superhero properties. After the Fox merger, they acquired the X-Men and Fantastic Four and now they may have snagged another big piece. According to a source, Marvel has reportedly gotten the rights back to the Hulk, which Universal owned for many years, which means the door is now open to make another solo Hulk movie.

- On this day in 1916: Chicago Cubs played their first game at Weeghman Park — now Wrigley Field. They defeated the Cincinnati Reds 7-6.

- Calling phone reveals theft. In Nigeria, a woman was nabbed by a restaurant customer who said he saw her steal a phone from another diner. Police quizzed the woman without success and were about to let her go when someone suggested they call the phone. After dialing the number, they heard a sound coming from under the woman’s clothes and took her to jail.

- Cigarettes are still Damaging to health. While the negative health effects of smoking have been well known for decades, many social smokers consider a few cigarettes a day not to be the biggest deal. French doctors, who conducted a recent study, have found that a third of smokers claimed up to 10 cigarettes a day was not associated with any risk of lung cancer. On top of that worrying statistic, only half of full-time smokers considered themselves at higher risk of lung cancer than the general population. Researchers said they were shocked that half of the people studied thought there was such thing as a “safe cigarette.”
