Thing-O-Matic
A common way for mad scientists to name machines, devices, and gadgets: take the thing's function and add -O-Matic or inator to the end. These tend to do exactly what they sound like they do. Usually, they won't give any explanation at all how they do what they do, and no matter how outlandish the science, or specific the purpose, they won't be able to do anything else.
Snack Stealing Seagulls
The coast is a popular destination for Vacation Episodes, both in fiction and real life. And why wouldn't it be? Breathing in the fresh sea air, taking a stroll along the boardwalk, having a nice time at the beach, grabbing a snack like ice cream or fish and chips, what's not to love?
Seagulls, obviously. Due to the abundance of food at tourist hotspots such as these, many wild animals have taken to feeding on food waste from visitors, with the more audacious ones being willing to snatch that tasty snack or meal right out of one's hands if need be. Among these animals, seagulls are perhaps the worst offender of all — as humans infringe on their natural habitats on the coastline, gulls have taken to 'preying' on foodstuffs meant for humans to feed themselves and their chicks.
