Manatee Appreciation Day, observed on the last Wednesday in March, honors these gentle marine mammals and is a perfect excuse for a few fun manatee facts:

• Called “sea cows,” manatees graze on seagrass and can eat about 10% of their body weight daily.

• Adult manatees can weigh more than 1,000 pounds.

• Manatees must surface to breathe, but can hold their breath up to 20 minutes while resting.

• They can live in both fresh and salt water.

• Manatees have few natural predators, but boat strikes remain one of their biggest threats.

• Manatees are more closely related to elephants than to dolphins.

Joe Lewis sold four paintings at Sotheby's London just last week for a combined 3,500% return.

A single Francis Bacon self-portrait turned £364,500 in 1994 into £13.5 million.

This happened while the US lost 92,000 jobs in February, Brent crude hit $119, and the Dow, hovering new record highs, posted its worst week since April.

Of course, usually only the ultra wealthy can invest in multimillion dollar art.

For Lewis, it represents 12.5% of his $8.8 billion fortune.

But now, 70,819 everyday investors have allocated $1.3 billion fractionally across 500+ exclusive artworks featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso, thanks to Masterworks.

After all, the Artprice100 Index outpaced even the S&P 500 from 2000 to 2024.

Masterworks does the heavy lifting from acquisition to sale. Past sales delivered net returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8%.*

Wayne Gretzky became the first NHL player to score 200 points in a season on March 25, 1982, reaching a milestone no one had come close to before and no one has matched since.

Playing for the Edmonton Oilers, Gretzky got there in his third NHL season and finished with 212 points in 80 games. His total included 92 goals and 120 assists, both league-leading marks. Before Gretzky, the NHL single-season record was Phil Esposito’s 152 points, set in 1971. Gretzky broke that by 60 points.

His 1981-82 season changed expectations for offensive production and helped define the high-scoring Oilers era.

Today is National Lobster Newburg Day, celebrating the rich seafood dish that became a Gilded Age favorite.

Lobster Newburg was created in the late 1800s at Delmonico’s in New York City and reportedly named for sea captain Ben Wenberg before a falling-out led the restaurant to rearrange the name. Unlike Lobster Thermidor, which is baked with cheese and mustard, Lobster Newburg is finished in a creamy sauce with sherry and egg yolks, giving it a silkier, more delicate texture. The dish became a fine-dining classic during America’s Gilded Age. Once common fare, lobster later became one of America’s priciest seafoods.

Follow Maine Lobster Now's recipe: Whisk egg yolks and cream, then stir into melted butter with sherry and cook gently over low heat until thickened. Season with salt, cayenne and nutmeg, fold in lobster and warm through before serving over rice, toast or puff pastry.
