When I lived in Florida I had a Gecko run into my apartment, and went straight into the vents in the back of my TV. For all I know, that little bugger could be in there still. Anyhew...

The Museum of Science has a fun exhibit on Gecko's! Grab some friends and head over.

"Bulging eyes, night vision, sticky toepads, squawking voices, and disposable body parts. Sounds like the makings of a murder mystery, but it's a new exhibit at the Museum of Science. More than 60 lizards of the Gekkonidae family await your bulging eyes at "Geckos: Tails to Toepads."

So I feel pretty lame and didn't realize there was a museum for the Boston Marathon? And why wouldn't their be?

"Tracing the colorful history of the race all the way back to the origins of long-distance running itself: the day the Greek Pheidippides purportedly ran from ancient Marathon to Athens to deliver the report, “Rejoice! We conquer,” and dropped dead. For its part, the Boston Marathon was run for the first time in 1897, a year after a contingent from the Boston Athletic Association returned from competing in the first modern Olympics, held in Greece. Of course, few modern sports require less equipment than marathon running, and the museum consists mostly of photographs, newspaper clippings, maps, T-shirts, trophies and running shoes. But what owners: Johnny Miles, Johnny Kelley, Bill Rodgers, Alberto Salazar, Joan Benoit Samuelson, and others. There is even a bronzed pair of Kelley’s Size 8 running shoes."

Female DJs spin records and the bingo wheel, and liquid prizes are redeemed at the bar. You never know who might stop in: Surprise guests have included the Foo Fighters and Pat Smear of Nirvana.
