The New York museum has just added a rare item to its collection: the last remaining piece of the iceberg hit by the _Titanic_! In almost perfect condition. See [images here](https://mailchi.mp/rmsc.org/new-science-on-the-edge-lectures-in-april-290566?e=047e19b876). ---

The RMSC can have a weird sense of humor sometimes. I remember a show at the Strasenburg Planetarium that made less and less sense until they revealed the gag at the end. ---

It’s amazing how many Rochester items I’m seeing in the news. Donuts Delite made Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue with red, white, and blue donuts with Dr. Fauci’s picture on them. And Jim Gaffigan called our garbage plate the best quarantine food. There’s also a video of [people staging a parade](https://www.whec.com/ontario-county-ny-news/family-throws-a-surprise-parade-for-social-distancing-sweet-sixteen/5689740/) (in separate cars) driving past a girl’s house on her 16th birthday that I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t go viral. ---
