I'm in Broomfield, Colorado, doing customer work with Hyper-V and System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008. Very interesting work, but more on this later.
I had dinner at a combo restaurant / brewpub, and though the
restaurant was pretty forgettable (as was the beer), they had a unique little device in the lobby: a lobster game.
As you can see, it's setup like the kid's game where you attempt to pick up toys or candy with a big claw. Invariably you never get anything. Well, in this one the bin is full of salt water and lobster! If you can catch one, you can have it. It costs $2 per attempt, and I suspect the success percentage is about the same - but for a different reason: These "toys" are experienced and wily.
I watched one fellow pick up a lobster pretty easily, but once out of the water the lobster wiggled a little bit and got himself out of the claw and back into the tank. I suspect they make a decent profit on this game!
