Lost Boy of the Day: Police in Berlin are asking for help in identifying a mysterious English-speaking 17-year-old who suddenly showed up at City Hall claiming he had been living in the woods for the past five years.
The teenager, who gave authorities his date of birth and a name — Ray — says he and his father entered the forest after his mother died, and have been living in tents and huts ever since.
He told police he began his trek back to civilization after his father passed away two weeks ago.
“Ray” says he doesn’t know his parents names, nor can recall anything about his life before the forest. “He can speak English very well, fluently in fact, but only speaks basic German,” said Berlin police spokesman Klaus Schubert. “It might be possible that he comes from Britain because he’s speaking English very fluently.”
A continent-wide appeal for assistance has been issued through Interpol after his description failed to match any missing persons report dating back to the late 1990s.
He is said to be physically fit, but may have experienced psychological trauma resulting in memory loss.

These are the types of 9-11 posts I want to see on my dash. Not pictures of the building in flames or people jumping or gifs of planes hitting the building.
Absolutely beautiful.

Follow Up of the Day: Officially unveiled last night in a far-too-brief teaser, Nike’s long-awaited self-lacing Marty McFly kicks just made their worldwide debut at Universal Studios.
Speaking at the unveiling event, Nike CEO Mark Parker announced that today’s launch will coincide with the auctioning of 1,500 pairs of Nike Air Mags to benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation. Google‘s Co-Founder Sergey Brin and his wife Anne Wojcicki have promised to match the bids up to $50 million dollars.
The auction will kick off tonight at nikemag.ebay.com, and run through September 18th.
“We wanted to translate the excitement people have for the ‘greatest shoe never made’ and for the Back to the Future into positive action,” said Parker. “But the long term objective is to raise awareness so the Foundation can achieve their goal of eradicating Parkinson’s disease.”
Michael J. Fox will reveal additional details about the sneakers and the auction on tonight’s Late Show with David Letterman.
Check out the official unveiling video below. No word yet on a public release.
